Pattern.
Carolina's identities are as important to her as her photography is. With this in mind, we decided to pile on the personal touches. I developed a pattern composed of icons inspired by photography, indigenous cultures, and some of Carolina’s favorite things. The main typeface, Century Gothic, was created in the same year Carolina was born. We added another personal element by making her favorite color, yellow, the main color of the palette.
Two different versions of the business cards. Although the square card isn’t a standard size, we decided that the shape will stick out and make an impression.
Resume design, front and back.
Carolina captures many different emotions and groups through her photography and her scope of work is so different and unique from that of other photographers. The final branding truly sets her apart in Chicago’s saturated photo industry.
