Inspiration Sourcing
In an initial meeting, I met with the client to talk about the inspiration for her brand and see what she had envisioned for her company’s visual footprint. With some inspiration in mind, I created the following mood board that represented imagery the client liked.
The key focuses here were organic line work, hand-drawn lettering or imagery, and bright colors that complements the brand purpose.

Deliverables
After pitching the above ideas, the client decided she wanted to move forward with a more orange/yellow palette to reflect the honey's color. Schultz also liked the off-centered, whimsical, and hand-lettered artifacts - which is what became the final product. We agreed the hand-drawn feel gives the brand personalization and care, which is exactly what Schultz offers her customers with her business
