The goal was to have a fun and soft composition, using slightly girly letterforms.")

Since the poster is going to be sent to a variety of different clients/influencers/coaches/content creators of all different sized companies, the design needed to be diverse enough that it's engaging for everyone as a catch all.
At the same time it needed to be engaging with the visuals and easy to read.
In the end we went for a rather simple layout to make it easy to read, and a bold hand lettered title to make it more dynamic and engaging.
For visual consistency, we used the brand's recognizable orange colors, and combined that with a deep blue color and a touch of gold.")

About
Hi,
I am Laara, a letterer, illustrator and designer, best known for my bright color palettes, quirky letterforms and fun dimensions. I believe that looking at the world with childlike curiosity is truly necessary when it comes to creating art, so I hope that I'll always have this little superpower with me!
The top 3 things I couldn't live without are sunshine, (loud) music and plants.
Do you think we'd get along nicely? Let's work together!
Country:
Romania.
