Stüssy Summer 16

  • John Breen

The curated overall design for the Stüssy summer 16 lookbook was to implement the usage of both modern and past blueprints. The outline for the branding piece was to create a very urban feel by adjusting the positioning of the type to a straight fit by using a grid pattern. Using the font type of Orkney Bold/Light/Medium for the overall modernism. I than contradicted the modern with an old to give off the Southern Californian vibe. I used the font type Times New Roman in some aspects of the design to give the old/past effect. The colour scheme was a major impact in the overall design as-well. I used light colours such as peach, light pink, sky blue to represent the coastlines and the flourishing nature of California. I than used dark tropical greens to contrast from the light to create a more eye-catching effect off of the white canvas.

BRANDING
For the branding aspect of the re-brand I wanted to design something very simple yet at the same time something you wouldn't forget, something that had "Stussy" written all over it. I wanted to stick with the light colours contrasting on the white canvas to keep unity throughout the design. I than added the textures for some thin detail so it would not look too bland. For the branding portion I decided to only re-brand sized shopping bags and a package perfect for summer shopping in California.
