THE IDEA

An imagined neighbourhood bakery with a warm identity that travels from the morning coffee to the box you take home.

Self-initiated concept exploration. The brand, brief, and applications shown are illustrative; these are not commissioned client projects. Photographic mockups were created with AI assistance.

01 / THE BRIEF

A clear starting point.

Create an approachable, recognisable identity for an imagined neighbourhood bakery. It needs enough character for a shopfront and enough flexibility for everyday packaging, menus, and printed details.

02 / THE APPROACH

A connected visual language.

A soft, expressive wordmark and a small petal motif give the brand a friendly voice. Burgundy provides contrast, while cream, orange, and lilac let different applications feel related without looking identical.

03 / THE IDENTITY

A brand with room for everyday life.

The palette balances warmth with contrast. A recognisable wordmark and simple floral device can stand alone or sit together, so even the smallest label feels part of the same world.

04 / IN CONTEXT

From counter to carry-home.

The identity extends across cups, bags, pastry boxes, and printed menus. Scale and colour do the work: a bold wordmark on packaging, a quieter hierarchy where people need to read.
