Brand Identity - Art Direction

I focused on a vibrant Y2K aesthetic that resonates with the Gen-Z audience. By incorporating elements reminiscent of early 2000s retro styles, I wanted to utilise over-saturated, grainy, and blurry photography to evoke nostalgia.

Flash photography and collage-like compositions established a dynamic visual narrative that feels both playful and stylish. My goal was to create a mood that captures youthfulness and creativity with the aim to generate excitement around the vintage handbags while celebrating Gen-Z’s spirit of individuality.

Brand Identity - Typeface

I introduced a new typeface that embodies an early 2000s retro feel, reminiscent of retro games and motorsport graphics. This choice reflects the campaign's dynamic nature, symbolising speed and a connection to the latest trends, which resonates with the fast-paced lifestyle of Gen-Z.

I paired this typeface with oversaturated, bright colours to create an engaging and playful composition that captures attention and evokes a sense of fun. The vibrant colors enhance the youthful energy of the campaign, ensuring that the vintage handbags stand out while appealing to the audience's desire for individuality and self-expression.

Social Media Campaign Deliverables

Social Media Campaign Deliverables

For the second drop of the collaboration, I directed and crafted a playful "handbag sale" visual concept to highlight the hype around the vintage collection. Models were shown queuing, fighting over handbags, and leaving with stacks of products, capturing the excitement.

Shot in a studio, I used a flat-lay approach for layering models and products, creating a collage-like, tongue-in-cheek style with cut-out visuals, perfectly matching the campaign’s fun and energetic vibe for the Gen-Z audience.
