New Branding Client TeaserWe're putting the finishing touches on a new brand for Brown Mountain Bodywork. We'll be able to share a full case study soon but for now here's a teaser of the process. This is the moodboard we created as part of the rebranding process. A moodboard is kind of like a finish board like an interior designer might use when envisioning a space. After our discovery and research phase, we collect bits and pieces of inspiration that inform the feeling or "mood" we want to evoke with the new branding. From there we put our creative hats on and roll up our sleeves as we conceptualize ideas and refine them into the final branding. Stay tuned for a full reveal soon! β
