They were inspired by the brand founder and her own pets and family, so it was important to capture their personalities and at the same time reflect her vision for the brand.
The illustrations will be used on Instagram and on the brand website.")

In terms of style, the client wanted a mix of flat and clean look with a slight hand-drawn/imperfect feel.")

The goal was to communicate the company's premium product and unique features and benefits in a simple and easy to understand way.

The client and author of the book \"Finding Your Path\" was looking for a simple but unique cover design, that would complement the meaning of the book, but is also visually appealing to young people and their environment (relatives and friends).
The main illustration represents the journey from school to adulthood in a positive way and it expands to the back cover. The style is fresh, simple and happy. The 2-color limitation was a challenge that lead to a design that uses contrast and negative space in a playful way.")

"This is my second project with Maria. We chatted through our brand guidelines in our first project, and she mastered them this time. We had very minor feedback, which is incredible. She's a great asset to our team when we need extra design support. "
