CLIENT WORK
CLIENT: immi
PROJECT: NEW 2.0 LAUNCH
SOCIAL: @immieats
In this project with immi (A fresh new organic ramen company based in LA), the co-owner, Kevin, wanted to incorporate his love of old-school hip-hop into the launch of their new 2.0 relaunch. The idea was that they "remixed the flavor" so the marketing should do the same.
I took inspiration from the Samurai Champloo anime intro animation and mixed it with graphic elements that would help it pop against their social media feed.
EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS I GET HUNGRY
SOCIAL MEDIA FEED IDEAS
I noticed how they used contasting colors to create boxes for framing their HD photos so I did some exploration to present a few
"lead-up" designs for the 2.0 post
The strong yellow and black were a bit challenging to work with at first but I found that playing with scale, hierarchy, and contrast helped me expand on my options.
Shameless plug, DEFINITELY GO VISIT www.immieats.com and get yourself some! it's mad delicious!
