The beads double as a Mountain Time Lager bottle opener, with additional winter emblems. This design subtly blends illustration, leisure, and "praying for snow.’ Perhaps too subtly, because I didn’t win the contest hosted by RMU and New Belgium. However, I did receive an honorable mention and ultimately, came up with a design that represents my personal style. <img width="1549" height="9098" width_o="1549" height_o="9098" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3a96de211a1c3c66ec4e5a2d35e3f80bd0f7d3398e0f6f34f9bef713ddd2ee4a/Skis_e-01.jpg" data-mid="172992318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3a96de211a1c3c66ec4e5a2d35e3f80bd0f7d3398e0f6f34f9bef713ddd2ee4a/Skis_e-01.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="937" width_o="3000" height_o="937" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be8d304e2b71fbeb6f6eea59fe351dff0fe1ba96dbdeacc6172d5d5ddbf20f5d/butler_rmu_ski_actionshot.jpg" data-mid="173920146" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/be8d304e2b71fbeb6f6eea59fe351dff0fe1ba96dbdeacc6172d5d5ddbf20f5d/butler_rmu_ski_actionshot.jpg" /> <img width="1844" height="1844" width_o="1844" height_o="1844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da46fe0e8a7d6a3df0705568c73dd5f2593d9b9776df736b0a758c1b6b56383a/499_butler_skis_insta_display-01.jpg" data-mid="172992317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da46fe0e8a7d6a3df0705568c73dd5f2593d9b9776df736b0a758c1b6b56383a/499_butler_skis_insta_display-01.jpg" /> <img width="1299" height="231" width_o="1299" height_o="231" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c79f9421a5d21b06a8e06bf117389b2c931845b7d5fb4c2cd5f70fff0af61f91/butler_skis_palette.jpg" data-mid="173132989" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c79f9421a5d21b06a8e06bf117389b2c931845b7d5fb4c2cd5f70fff0af61f91/butler_skis_palette.jpg" /> Artist Statement My graphic style is characterized by a bold graphic presence and a fluid pile of linework. The design serves as a commentary on the church, incorporating religious iconography into a fun and irreverent context. The composition as a whole is fluid and balanced, with each element working together to create a cohesive and visually striking piece. Through my use of strong graphic elements, bright colors, and a bold conceptual approach, I created a design that is both thought-provoking and beautiful. <img width="3000" height="2002" width_o="3000" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b47982fe0a90e8d8ac7801ae1bf74e46b54808bee465a9e586b5079dc0a043e/butler_skis_purple_bkg.jpg" data-mid="173832452" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b47982fe0a90e8d8ac7801ae1bf74e46b54808bee465a9e586b5079dc0a043e/butler_skis_purple_bkg.jpg" /> <img width="300" height="1762" width_o="300" height_o="1762" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7e7a17a408f5ff916ae7c4742e9e922499f796e16e305f9429115111c35cb39/butler_skis_gif_better.gif" data-mid="174011104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/f7e7a17a408f5ff916ae7c4742e9e922499f796e16e305f9429115111c35cb39/butler_skis_gif_better.gif" /> <img width="2561" height="1707" width_o="2561" height_o="1707" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9282b0af6006100bdb4f69db4aecee83f2df8205fd1ab6679543e4ea1dde60e0/rmu_insta_mockup.jpg" data-mid="173832883" border="0" data-scale="97" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9282b0af6006100bdb4f69db4aecee83f2df8205fd1ab6679543e4ea1dde60e0/rmu_insta_mockup.jpg" /> https://maximumstudios.net/Music-Posters Fri, 24 Mar 2023 22:33:44 +0000 Maximum Studios https://maximumstudios.net/Music-Posters Music Posters Strategy: Research, Positioning, Messaging, Social Media Identity:&nbsp;Logo Design, Illustration, Visual Identity System Experience:&nbsp;Print Collateral, Social Media Management, Illustration, Photography <img width="1920" height="1392" width_o="1920" height_o="1392" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/61603fd9f6653be5958e83a75450d7581147444381d742391635d1cfc04b7139/devil_detail.png" data-mid="218687835" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/61603fd9f6653be5958e83a75450d7581147444381d742391635d1cfc04b7139/devil_detail.png" /> Music Involvement Since 2022, Maximum Studios has been representing multiple bands and their energy through music posters and additional branding elements. Maximum has worked with great creative freedom to design posters that relate to seasonal and geographical details, as well as current political events. We’re also not against the occasional random concept. Since music groups began collaborating with us, we have been selling out shows and boosting viewership. With the addition of Instagram ads, some posters have been seen by over 10,000 people. <img width="1920" height="951" width_o="1920" height_o="951" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eaa2e6dccdebb2b0a508f0d0d2bb56e04dbfa2e985ec3ee398840aaadadc8940/dead_posters.png" data-mid="218632055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eaa2e6dccdebb2b0a508f0d0d2bb56e04dbfa2e985ec3ee398840aaadadc8940/dead_posters.png" /><img width="1920" height="951" width_o="1920" height_o="951" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9d74b47a380e1e7a66de64eefeff1b5b3cbce122915b93b2b8c8be369ccb5a6/jc_posters.png" data-mid="218632056" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9d74b47a380e1e7a66de64eefeff1b5b3cbce122915b93b2b8c8be369ccb5a6/jc_posters.png" /> <img width="2779" height="1364" width_o="2779" height_o="1364" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7cccfdbc3177da1c79b2ec1fbc9a900e5462e684f1ffd0d5c70238f27c86adc/499_butler_layouts_4.jpg" data-mid="173132596" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7cccfdbc3177da1c79b2ec1fbc9a900e5462e684f1ffd0d5c70238f27c86adc/499_butler_layouts_4.jpg" /><img width="1920" height="951" width_o="1920" height_o="951" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57152af3b9a723f571aff57d5cd8c78ce75fc6b17535f3e1687ef05768d22250/more-jc-posters.png" data-mid="218632057" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57152af3b9a723f571aff57d5cd8c78ce75fc6b17535f3e1687ef05768d22250/more-jc-posters.png" /> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Case Study: Jazz Cabbage The graphic nature of the Jazz Cabbage posters stand out on a bulletin board or sticker wall. Designing an identity for a band is a dynamic challenge because the shape of their visual presence must constantly change in order to not lull the listeners who see hundreds of posters a month. It’s important to keep things relevant, fresh and never boring. Having a consistent graphic presence in the community serves to create visual timestamps for anyone interacting with the work, whether that be an audience member or just someone looking at a telephone pole downtown.&nbsp; <img width="1049" height="699" width_o="1049" height_o="699" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3792ed9c725c59e103c9a26bf2ab78355658cdee5470a0efb09216b05488728b/butler_maximum_photoshoot-6.jpg" data-mid="174031870" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3792ed9c725c59e103c9a26bf2ab78355658cdee5470a0efb09216b05488728b/butler_maximum_photoshoot-6.jpg" /><img width="1600" height="1067" width_o="1600" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e923b11393381492797a8204172b95cda9e9d64bb49f072af8b3e8616245f135/butler_jazzcab_mockup_billboard.jpg" data-mid="173835950" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e923b11393381492797a8204172b95cda9e9d64bb49f072af8b3e8616245f135/butler_jazzcab_mockup_billboard.jpg" /><img width="1500" height="1067" width_o="1500" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efd138b5041ca59538fa52dc902b15f908e7b420723631c08369233f3c43686a/jazzcab_street_mockup_april.jpg" data-mid="173827836" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efd138b5041ca59538fa52dc902b15f908e7b420723631c08369233f3c43686a/jazzcab_street_mockup_april.jpg" /> <img width="1049" height="699" width_o="1049" height_o="699" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db2132a4065d638f694ba1fe73dfc5baee4bb1e85d2d910c1b19ab9d60b5e1bb/butler_maximum_photoshoot-3.jpg" data-mid="174031871" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db2132a4065d638f694ba1fe73dfc5baee4bb1e85d2d910c1b19ab9d60b5e1bb/butler_maximum_photoshoot-3.jpg" /> <img width="1067" height="1608" width_o="1067" height_o="1608" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82e51b6780c663089ad605297b8eb8f23295121ded82a24dbd660210483f97b8/jc_mockup_zoomed.jpg" data-mid="173735048" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/82e51b6780c663089ad605297b8eb8f23295121ded82a24dbd660210483f97b8/jc_mockup_zoomed.jpg" /> https://maximumstudios.net/Telepathy Thu, 01 Jan 2026 21:43:07 +0000 Maximum Studios https://maximumstudios.net/Telepathy Telepathy&nbsp;Bikes Strategy: Positioning, Marketing Social Media Management, Messaging Identity:&nbsp;Logo Design, Illustration, Visual Identity System Experience: Art Direction, Print Collateral, Social Media Management, Packaging, Photography <img width="6467" height="2701" width_o="6467" height_o="2701" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b452a1fdd062f51ac3c801e447394bfc2c83d035287ca774dfa0336a6d22c59f/telepathy_madscientist.png" data-mid="242329535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b452a1fdd062f51ac3c801e447394bfc2c83d035287ca774dfa0336a6d22c59f/telepathy_madscientist.png" /> Re-Inventing the&nbsp;Bike Telepathy Bikes is the result of Matt Lessmeier’s multi-year effort to rethink how a mountain bike should move and feel beneath a rider. By developing an entirely new linkage system and validating it through extensive real-world riding and destructive testing, he’s challenged long-held assumptions about suspension behavior and consistency. My role as art director has been to translate that deeply technical work into a clear, cohesive visual and narrative language—shaping the brand, graphics, and communication so the innovation is immediately legible without losing its mystery.

Visual decisions evolved in parallel with engineering changes, allowing the brand to stay honest to the bike as it developed rather than getting ahead of it. This approach required close collaboration, constant recalibration, and a shared commitment to clarity over spectacle.&nbsp; <img width="2012" height="1342" width_o="2012" height_o="1342" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/127eeb65a47922fe141e7d7b727e81899e748e9804a5334338b447a2dd52f17b/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.10.26-AM.png" data-mid="242588766" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/127eeb65a47922fe141e7d7b727e81899e748e9804a5334338b447a2dd52f17b/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.10.26-AM.png" /><img width="1934" height="888" width_o="1934" height_o="888" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77a0d61d559640b317f605afbf8bce335db30accd745c328cf0b4fe46524708c/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.14-AM.png" data-mid="242588764" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/77a0d61d559640b317f605afbf8bce335db30accd745c328cf0b4fe46524708c/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.14-AM.png" /> <img width="2016" height="1344" width_o="2016" height_o="1344" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c504f6ecb505b0a4ede3849c69d11c8d52a85723920ec233142a9dda15c73bba/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.11.56-AM.png" data-mid="242588765" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c504f6ecb505b0a4ede3849c69d11c8d52a85723920ec233142a9dda15c73bba/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.11.56-AM.png" /><img width="1594" height="962" width_o="1594" height_o="962" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/35fb1dc2f35b0f6d871432db8aed822adcd62c20c7c87a1cd37e951fdf8b6296/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.36-AM.png" data-mid="242588762" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/35fb1dc2f35b0f6d871432db8aed822adcd62c20c7c87a1cd37e951fdf8b6296/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.36-AM.png" /> <img width="1980" height="890" width_o="1980" height_o="890" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ccf588e07cd3929843a72aa86d35e258015b9b22427ac60d396af9de3bed8cec/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.21-AM.png" data-mid="242588763" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ccf588e07cd3929843a72aa86d35e258015b9b22427ac60d396af9de3bed8cec/Screenshot-2025-08-31-at-10.12.21-AM.png" /> https://maximumstudios.net/Logo-Work Tue, 24 Sep 2024 20:51:38 +0000 Maximum Studios https://maximumstudios.net/Logo-Work Logo Design Strategy: Research, Positioning, Messaging, Social Media Identity:&nbsp;Logo Design, Illustration, Visual Identity System Experience:&nbsp;Print Collateral, Social Media Management, Illustration, Photography <img width="1920" height="1234" width_o="1920" height_o="1234" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b1bf953a9d04386fa377899550752fe16b1276bcea450bce229a483c7424267/sdc_thumbnail.png" data-mid="218635740" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b1bf953a9d04386fa377899550752fe16b1276bcea450bce229a483c7424267/sdc_thumbnail.png" /> Standing Dead Carpentry <img width="2022" height="1348" width_o="2022" height_o="1348" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d43fd4b4b17cbcc97e7857f4752d3d18cc736e16b50af6203b8fc9ffde719a3e/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.16.38-AM.png" data-mid="225780920" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d43fd4b4b17cbcc97e7857f4752d3d18cc736e16b50af6203b8fc9ffde719a3e/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.16.38-AM.png" /> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; The Process The term “standing dead” refers to trees that have died and dried but not yet fallen over.

This is a broad statement, but it’s also quite simple. I want my work to resonate with people, to start a conversation, to make someone smile or to help them. Due to the range of my services, the only common denominator is personal impact. My company is called Maximum Studios for two reasons. First of all, I don’t do half measures, so “maximum” is fitting. Second, my philosophies and ethics were greatly influenced by my dear friend Max Fulfer, who we lost in 2019. Maximum Studios is my way of making a mark and honoring the philosophies Max and I shared. That means when you do something, you put your entire focus and attention into it. You truly listen to people. Pursue passion. Go outside. Be deliberate in your actions and thoughts. Remember to take deep breaths, and never be stagnant.

By creating an online store I have more freedom to choose which clients I want to work with, and I have the flexibility to do pro bono work for organizations that I believe in. I get to think of my best friend every time I look at my logo, and I can use that to connect with people and make an impact. <img width="2500" height="1447" width_o="2500" height_o="1447" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/80c787b83519fa9c6a64d7efb5fb93240281d600d8a5e41220b3c496d074f049/maximum_stickers.jpg" data-mid="173939785" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/80c787b83519fa9c6a64d7efb5fb93240281d600d8a5e41220b3c496d074f049/maximum_stickers.jpg" /> PRODUCTS AVAILABLE in THE STORE&nbsp; (and other cool stuff) SHOP NOW <img width="1049" height="699" width_o="1049" height_o="699" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dcfd6f2396eeefd959a125f7b52b6b80673f5455fae0ab3500a69db07014b4fe/jc_alder_filler_photos-32.jpg" data-mid="174032168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dcfd6f2396eeefd959a125f7b52b6b80673f5455fae0ab3500a69db07014b4fe/jc_alder_filler_photos-32.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1500" width_o="1500" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a900c47f99cd8e9464f9522a6f5a414b6f1a38c36a0294964436f61fc51b13fb/maximum_shirt.jpg" data-mid="173939431" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a900c47f99cd8e9464f9522a6f5a414b6f1a38c36a0294964436f61fc51b13fb/maximum_shirt.jpg" /> <img width="1049" height="699" width_o="1049" height_o="699" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/953cc48cc27fdf5d87bc8e00a24bdcbfcabe9977c51d15a7c14b9b0117da7db5/jc_alder_filler_photos-30.jpg" data-mid="174032169" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/953cc48cc27fdf5d87bc8e00a24bdcbfcabe9977c51d15a7c14b9b0117da7db5/jc_alder_filler_photos-30.jpg" /> <img width="4500" height="5625" width_o="4500" height_o="5625" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e7592540fa786ce01834701e0eed30c2035b87d0c66bc14c9086022a555f881/maximum_mo-01.png" data-mid="225782169" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e7592540fa786ce01834701e0eed30c2035b87d0c66bc14c9086022a555f881/maximum_mo-01.png" /> <img width="1049" height="699" width_o="1049" height_o="699" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3a24dddf1d1946d2fb85364d91cf16f920cdbccac13ddbfc889fb4eb33da875e/butler_maximum_photoshoot-1.jpg" data-mid="174030513" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3a24dddf1d1946d2fb85364d91cf16f920cdbccac13ddbfc889fb4eb33da875e/butler_maximum_photoshoot-1.jpg" /> https://maximumstudios.net/Orion-Spaceway Sun, 26 Mar 2023 17:54:46 +0000 Maximum Studios https://maximumstudios.net/Orion-Spaceway Orion Spaceway Strategy: Research, Messaging, Positioning Identity: Logo Design, Visual Identity System, Brand Guidelines, Illustration Experience: UX &amp; UI Design, Wayfinding, Advertising, Branded Environments <img width="864" height="986" width_o="864" height_o="986" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37ad8313c651ab074f17029137663e5701402d69f346552677c423b9aebd4189/addyawardsilverwinner.png" data-mid="173937509" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/864/i/37ad8313c651ab074f17029137663e5701402d69f346552677c423b9aebd4189/addyawardsilverwinner.png" /> <img width="3000" height="2124" width_o="3000" height_o="2124" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a8c27119326344456628233c30a25e254924584c6aefae8e541ea2cc86e23a36/butler_website_foldedmapmockup_smaller.jpg" data-mid="175005977" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a8c27119326344456628233c30a25e254924584c6aefae8e541ea2cc86e23a36/butler_website_foldedmapmockup_smaller.jpg" /> <img width="864" height="986" width_o="864" height_o="986" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37ad8313c651ab074f17029137663e5701402d69f346552677c423b9aebd4189/addyawardsilverwinner.png" data-mid="173937509" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/864/i/37ad8313c651ab074f17029137663e5701402d69f346552677c423b9aebd4189/addyawardsilverwinner.png" /> Scope Orion Spaceway is an ambitious identity system project aimed at revolutionizing space travel by connecting everyday space-workers to other worlds through a system that is accessible, environmentally mindful, and efficient. The brand seeks to promote exploration and adventure while addressing the need for sustainability and responsible use of resources. The scope of the project encompassed various elements, including app design, wayfinding, passes, and ship design. We worked collaboratively as a team of designers, with myself, Logan Crowley, and Aria Pratt, to create a cohesive and engaging identity system that would resonate with our target audience and reflect the brand's values. <img width="2641" height="1614" width_o="2641" height_o="1614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b58c5d38e21fcec7aaf7f4d2b4717f9fc344c9fa50bc996d0bc30c7f740e9649/butler_spaceway_collage.jpg" data-mid="173142971" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b58c5d38e21fcec7aaf7f4d2b4717f9fc344c9fa50bc996d0bc30c7f740e9649/butler_spaceway_collage.jpg" /> &nbsp;&nbsp; Strategy To convey the brand's unique vision and identity, we relied heavily on illustration as the primary form of visual communication, as it provided a more flexible and versatile medium that aligned well with our aesthetic. This allowed us to create a distinctive visual language that conveyed the excitement and wonder of space travel while also highlighting the brand's commitment to sustainability and innovation. <img width="2090" height="1354" width_o="2090" height_o="1354" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b32f31cbcc9979ea8e3a275b1042c082fd54a0c5dae78083303fce5d90d9c2c/butler_website_spacemapprint.jpg" data-mid="173142967" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b32f31cbcc9979ea8e3a275b1042c082fd54a0c5dae78083303fce5d90d9c2c/butler_website_spacemapprint.jpg" /> <img width="1344" height="783" width_o="1344" height_o="783" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/01cd89c5e78b61a74af7ee759a8b17a29d2d7f380ef195f3128acae598428874/Screen-Shot-2023-03-09-at-2.26.22-PM.jpg" data-mid="173142961" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/01cd89c5e78b61a74af7ee759a8b17a29d2d7f380ef195f3128acae598428874/Screen-Shot-2023-03-09-at-2.26.22-PM.jpg" /> <img width="1713" height="1355" width_o="1713" height_o="1355" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9a8a98b13afbf5a134c50cc5bcd253c4c6bb86a0a6fe9061885190c0557aaf7/Screen-Shot-2023-03-09-at-2.15.45-PM.jpg" data-mid="173142962" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9a8a98b13afbf5a134c50cc5bcd253c4c6bb86a0a6fe9061885190c0557aaf7/Screen-Shot-2023-03-09-at-2.15.45-PM.jpg" /> <img width="1557" height="1219" width_o="1557" height_o="1219" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dedcd8f09583e72fda5160a2956d2e2d99c0ea1e767bf907847f836279b2eb32/butler_website_Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-9.29.38-PM.jpg" data-mid="173142969" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dedcd8f09583e72fda5160a2956d2e2d99c0ea1e767bf907847f836279b2eb32/butler_website_Screen-Shot-2022-01-29-at-9.29.38-PM.jpg" /> In Summary Our goal was to create a visual identity that not only reflected the brand's unique vision but also conveyed its commitment to making space travel accessible to everyone. Through our use of illustration and a carefully crafted visual language, we were able to achieve a cohesive and engaging identity system that captured the essence of the Orion Spaceway brand.
