The Tea Garden

The Tea Garden

Concepting and Design

About

The duration of this assignment consisted of learning how to tell a story through a simple image mark and logo type. My concept, The Tea Garden, is an immersive experience in which tea lovers can go to a plantation, learn about the process of harvesting and drying tea leaves, then partake in the process themselves.

Logo Iterations

Brand Guidelines

The branding was inspired by vintage botanical illustrations. I was curious to see how the inky textures could contrast bold but classic typography. A few of the many iterations are pictured to the left. I ultimately landed on a simple “t” interacting with a tea leaf. This design was intended to represent the intersection of knowledge and tradition with modern practices.

Prototypes & Mockups

I had fun creating real prototypes of the tea packaging! This included creating digital templates, finding jars and tea to match, and creating a real lineup of what the products could look like. I also created supplemental mockups of other merchandise customers could walk away with.
