Practical Magic: A Holistic Visual Design Approach

Transforming a holistic sanctuary like Zendegi Alchemy into a visual identity required a deep understanding of its essence and a thoughtful approach to its diverse offerings. A significant stipulation from the owner was to incorporate her father's calligraphy into the logo, infusing a personal and sentimental touch into the brand's identity. This requirement led to the creation of a responsive logo set with variations that could work across a multitude of platforms—from digital web banners and social posts to printed assets for events and body butter packaging. From a brand board that captures the heart of the sanctuary to logo variations that reflect its versatility, every piece was meticulously designed to resonate with the target audience. Lifestyle mockups were created to showcase the products in real-life settings, and the beginnings of brand guidelines were laid down to ensure consistency across all touchpoints.
