Recap on this project for Paintbox Yarns. A great product I have been using through lockdown to create some crochet and knitted pieces - always nice to get something with your branding on it delivered...
Lovecrafts approached me to work on the branding and visual identity for this product in its development stages. The wool comes in a huge range of colours and wools perfect for your lockdown craft projects.
During a brand workshop with the creative and marketing team, we discussed that it is low-cost yet needed to stand apart from other budget wool brands. As part of the development, I looked more broadly at inspirational low-cost brand identities for inspiration.
The branding works with the range of colours, staying simple minimal and using a die-cut belly band to let the colour stand for itself in 4 simple cut out ‘paintbox’ circles.
As part of the branding project, I created a visual direction for photography and pattern design which you can see as it's developed on their Instagram �� and website www.lovecrafts.com
Some of the images shown in the reel are from mood boards and the paintbox yarns Instagram to show the brand as it currently stands.
