The Brief //
Weavyworld™ - a new messaging and greeting app for the consumer lifestyle market. Positioned as a disruptive play within the $30 billion global greetings card market, the mobile app allows users to search, browse and send premium content from hundreds of artists and designers.
I was approached by Movement consulting and 1616 media to develop the branding, art direction, UI and marketing collateral for an exciting new mobile app to help secure first-round funding and ultimately working with the team supply the design, art direction, corporate product identity and marketing ideas to help get the product into the Apps stores and out to market.
The Solution //
Working closely with the business owner and strategy director we developed a clean, modern and sophisticated brand identity to be used on the app as well as online, print, film and digital advertising. A bespoke font was created for the logo mark to ensure a unique and trademarkable identity. I was then tasked with developing the brand look and feel through every touch point of the mobile user experience as well as digital, offline advertising and branding executions.
