Project 1: Brand Creation
Ordinary spice companies don’t guarantee that their product is authentic, organic, and sourced in the most sustainable way possible. At Cut & Dried Spice Company, we make sure you know where your herbs & spices are coming from by putting the farm it came from right on the label—no secrets. We also offer a much-needed service as your kitchen assistant by listing recommended foods to go with each spice on the packaging. You’ll never have to wonder, “How should I flavor this dish?” ever again.
Here at Cut & Dried Spice Company, we believe in being honest and to the point. We want our customers to know exactly what they’re getting—no fillers, cut and dry. Our brand is for chefs from all backgrounds, skill levels, and ages. Our sustainably packaged herbs & spices come equipped with all the information you need to make your meals come to life. On every package we recommend flavors to go with different meats, vegetables, and other kitchen favorites. Think of our products as the kitchen assistant you never knew you needed. All of our ingredients come from 100% organic, fair-work farms. Look no further for your favorite, honest, premium herb & spice brand.
In class, we chose from the thumbnails to come up with 3 digital roughs.
I also paired different fonts with the chosen logo to see what was most successful.
I realized that the dots were too small so I scaled them up and changed the font from Futura to Bodoni.
The colors chosen are found in nature and the colors of the actual star anise plant.
