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.
