Inspired Branding - Coastal

Every once in a while I'm walking down an aisle at Target or maybe checking out a cool design blog or looking through a fun little shop and all of a sudden a whole business design concept comes to fruition in my head. Sometimes I think it would be so fun to be a "decorator" for businesses. Helping them create that awesome look from the logo to the website to the welcome kit and on through to the packaging. Something that is cohesive with who they are and want to be!


At the same time, I've been trying to come up with ideas for regular and semi regular things to share on Go{4}Pro. Now that I find myself writing 5 days a week again, I'll admit I'm feeling a little perplexed for content. (If you would like to make a suggestion or write a guest post, just let me know!) I wanted to come up with something unique that wouldn't take a ton of reading time (for your sake) and would just be fun to look at - something for the creative soul inside each of us and that's where the idea for 'Inspired Branding' came from. So here is a mock up of my 1st Inspired Branding. As you can see the inspiration came from the fabulous little boy's nursery and than how I turned it into a business concept to run with. And yes that logo is available for whoever snags it first!

Wouldn't this look be just perfect for a Coastal State Photographer?! I constantly see a lot of children's photographers do pink and while it is absolutely adorable it does kind of alienate all the boy moms. Here is a design-start for a boy mom photographer who lives in a beautiful coastal town somewhere on the East Coast (and least that's what I envision) - Can't you just see the stunning images of little boys and girls running through waves and flying bright colored kites to go on the home page of this businesses website?
