Shortlisted for JDO RAW 2020
My brand is a twist on a classic, adding the new, fun and interesting CBD to the timeless, classic Ice cream. I wanted to celebrate ice cream as a classic, looking back at its history. Ice cream gained popularity during the Victorian era along with trips to the beach; so, I chose to use this time period as visual inspiration. So I created classic Victorian style illustrations, but with a new and playful psychedelic twist, using nautical and seaside references. A psychedelic ‘trip’ to the beach.
Following with the theme of ‘a twist on the classic’, I looked at traditional ice cream designs, featuring stripes and pastel tones, and gave them a psychedelic twist. Melting the striped lines of classic ice-cream designs, enhancing the pastel tones. Creating designs for the classic flavours Vanilla, Strawberry and Mint.
Using nautical and seaside references throughout my branding, I chose to use octopus tentacles within my posters. To advertise the brand in a fun and interesting way, alongside Instagram Advertisements to appeal to my millennial target audience.
