THE BLACK BRAND Water Bottle Packaging Design
Happy Friday my friends! I wanted to share a project I completed a while ago, but am now able to share it. The Black Brand focuses on sleek merchandise and apparel in their shops online. I helped them with the packaging design for their water bottle.

Cornerstone Design & Renovation Branding
I recently completed business card and branding design for Cornerstone Design & Renovation, located in Cleveland Ohio. Cornerstone Design & Renovation is a home consulting business that helps its clients plan for a home renovation. Here, I am talking about the design process I went through to help out their business.
Happy Wednesday! I just completed a business card design, and branding project for Cornerstone Design & Renovation. One of my dear friends, Matt is the owner and starting his own home renovation consulting business. I was happy to help him with the design of his identity.
Final Design
Matt was able to send me some inspiration to pull from, a beautiful stained glass window and some colors on a mailbox. These colors laid the foundation for some of the concepts.
Draft Prototypes
Options are nice, right? When I sent over the prototypes, I wanted to include a variety of options for Matt to choose from. I played with stone textures in the backgrounds, faint but they add a bit of depth and dimension to the design. I also wanted to apply a real world look for how they would look produced, rather than flat graphics so I utilized a good mock up for that.
Early visuals and branding.
Logo
Logo Design
It is important to develop a brand, and a brand can develop over time. I wanted to create a simple logo for Cornerstone Design & Renovation that is clean, clear and easily changeable in typography and color.
Branding
This is some early branding concepts I sent over, and visual research. Ultimately we went with the more graphical corner shown below, which works really well in the design.
If you are in the Cleveland area and are thinking of doing some home renovations please reach out to Cornerstone Design & Renovations for help.

HXDCRAFT Logo Design
Close up details.
I was lucky enough to work with such an awesome client Christa, at @HXDCRAFT. Christa was a designers dream, who gave feedback and had creative ideas of her own, that really fleshed out the logo to be what it became. I was given to main goals for this logo:
A serpent.
A 3 hole key.
The serpent to have red eyes ( which later turned purple)
I did a lot of visual research for this logo. I looked at a lot of 3 looped keys, but my goal was to not have the key the focal point, but the snake around the key. I wanted the key to be solid, but still have character so I cut out shaped to add a bit of dimension.
Reduced size logos.
Early Concepts
Early versions of the logo, I worked in a lot of red to add contrast, which later turned to purple by my client sending me a swatch of purple to try. The purple really adds a nice contrast to the logo itself and I am so glad the client had the idea to try it.
