Vector Pattern Work

In 2016 we developed an illustrative series known as the “Creature Collection.” The purpose of the series is to explore biomechanical patterns influenced by science fiction and zentangles. Each design is hand-drawn, digitally colored, and uses eye-catchy color palettes. New creatures are still being added to the series on a monthly basis.

Terms:

  • Biomechanical: cross between organic tissue and machine.
  • Zentangles: Random structured patterns.

Repurposing The Brand

Reptiles have played a major role in the Graphicsbyte brand. From 2013–17 a viper was used as the studio icon. Many different skins were available on stickers, clothing and business cards. Towards the end of 2017 the viper was retired and the brand was repurposed for the Creature Collection sticker packs.

Creative Merchandising

The first product we developed were insect sticker packs. These were inspired by real bug specimens. Each pack features five insects and the viper brand logo. The pack also has a promo code for a downloadable poster. Currently the series is a limited run and we have two volumes available.

About the brand

In 2018 the Hemp Farming Bill went into effect removing CBD from the list of controlled substances. Various companies were sprouting up all around Oregon. This created the perfect wave for Green Room Naturals. Trevor is the owner and founder of the brand. Prior to Green Room he spent most of his life as a musician touring the Northwest. He is a one man band playing guitar, harmonica, didgeridoo, and is a singer/ songwriter. 

When Trevor approached us he wanted his new brand to have a deep connection with nature and spiritual energy. We achieved that by building the brand’s color palette around the seven chakras. The logo represents growth and healing in the form of a  lotus flower/ cannabis leaf. To give the brand more personality we tied in an abstract Native American feather to be the focal point. This is a tribute to the owner’s musical background.

Deodorant Packaging

Get Pitted! is the official slogan for the Green Room Naturals deodorant line. All the deodorants are hand crafted and made from plant based extracts. Each stick represents a chakra color found in the company logo. An additional color was added to the lineup as an unscented option. 

Our vision was to build a minimalist design around the plant icon. We also needed a strong typeface that made consumers want to pick up the product. Futura became the perfect typeface for the job. Its condensed weights are both legible and stylish.

Cream. Drops. Roll-on. Lip Balm.

Shortly after launching the deodorant line, we developed labels for another set of CBD infused products. These additional products have similar packaging but we introduced an off-centered watermark and a script typeface to help with hierarchy. Currently, our favorite product is the roll-on. The Arnica takes this product to a whole new level when it comes to pain relief.

How The Brand Formed

Centered Water is a start-up CBD brand out of the Pacific Northwest. Their lineup features +99% CBD isolate, doggy treats, and massage oil. But their most popular item is CBD water. In 2018 the client reached out and was looking for a label redesign. They gave us full creative control and they were open to many new ideas. 

After pitching the idea of creating an illustrated label one of the co-owners said he has Hawaiian heritage and thought it would be funny if the brand had a Hawaiian mascot. We decided to run with this idea and Joe the cartoon was born.

The Logo

One of the owners from Centered Water drew a raindrop icon. This was used on the old labels. The logo didn’t have a designated font and the brand needed some touch-ups. After some cleanup work and a critique, the font Chalet London Nineteen Seventy was chosen to represent the brand. The icon was recreated and for the first time the client now owns a vector copy of their brand.

A Look At The Labels

The starting lineup features three flavors. Each flavor has a different illustrated scene. We thought this would be a fun opportunity to tell the story of Joe living in the PNW. The first label we designed was the Cantaloupe flavor. We added a series of trees to fill the landscape and created a custom texture for the background. This paved a path for all future designs. The next thing we did was illustrate the character. After several different attempts we found something everyone was happy with. The client mentioned they wanted to see Joe in a hammock. We felt the cantaloupe flavor would be the perfect opportunity for this.

The next label we designed was Pear. We continued the tree landscape and created a different background texture to resemble clouds. This was another opportunity to add humor to the product. This scene shows a fruit stand where Joe is sharing his pears with the community of forest animals.

The old CBD water labels featured a mountain so we wanted to bring some of that language into the third label. We created a background texture that resembles part of a mountain. Then we added an A-frame at the base. The flavor is called Original and the scene is where Joe lives. We felt that the label need a little more variety so this scene takes place at night.

Melanie approached Graphicsbyte with a dream: quality, affordability, and accessibility in the eyelash industry. This is something she couldn’t find herself. Working in her Lake Oswego, OR salon, her passion and talent for eyelash extensions evolved into a love for education and training in the industry. She created a new company to focus on these endeavors. Volume is an eyelash extension supply company with a focus on education for licensed professionals, providing great products at reasonable prices.

What Volume needed was a voice. Melanie’s vision was high fashion and clean. With her ideas in mind we developed a golden geometric uppercase V monogram which could be used for embossing or printing in foil.

E-Commeerce

Volume is both an eyelash extension supplier and education platform. The website was designed to highlight both sides of the business. We worked with Velare Media and helped develop an e-Commerce site where lashes are easily sorted into shape, length and style. When training is available, licensed professionals sign up for classes straight from the site.

Logo Design

In 2016 cannabis was a very popular topic in Oregon. It just became legal for recreational use. One of our friends needed a logo designed for a side project. For a short period of time the icon was used in a cannabis budgeting App. Sadly the project lost funding and we were left with a cool logo without a function.

Over the last four years the brand made it’s rounds on social media. We had several bites on people who wanted to buyout the rights. But for some reason we wanted to keep this brand in-house. It went through several naming revisions before landing on Granny’s Attic.

Currently, there are four color variations. Each color represents a different cannabis strain. We are planning to add more strains and push merchandise in dispensaries nationwide. Sticker packs are our first tangible product. Clothing and other accessories are in the works.
