Brand identity and web

theworst

Brand identities and websites, designed and built by one person.

I name the idea, draw the mark and write the code that ships it. My habit app Mukti was shown at Techfest SparkX in Delhi.

Shop site, preview build

NO MORE

An online shop for an upcycled bag brand from Gurugram. Every bag is preloved denim, a seatbelt strap and a raincoat lining, so the site is built around those three layers.

App, shown at Techfest SparkX

Mukti

An app for changing one habit. You describe it in your own words, in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and it builds a plan around your life, then checks in every day.

Visual identity for Mukti

Saawan

The monsoon month: the heat breaks, the rain comes, and it passes. That is what Mukti says about an urge, so the app looks like a rained-on evening lit by one diya.

I did
The idea, palette, type, the pen-line illustration rules

Competition prototype

Namma Space

A walkable 3D scan of a classroom. Search for a place and follow the path around the desks. Made with two teammates. The scan is 220 MB, so the first open takes a while.

The interface and the viewer

Saawan,
up close

Mukti's identity. Six colours, each named after something you can touch, and one rule for every drawing: a single pen, round ends, nothing filled except the one thing that is lit.

Pattaleaf, the ground#E3EAE0
Kagazpaper#F6F8F1
Kajalkohl, the ink#1C2924
Morpeacock, to press#0E5A55
Halditurmeric, only what is lit#D8931A
Meghcloud, rain and steam#74837B

Haldi is never text on a light ground. Every colour pair is checked for contrast by a test that runs with the app, in all four looks, by day and by night.

Identity

The idea a brand stands on, then everything that makes it recognisable on sight: mark, type, colour and the way it talks.

  • Positioning and naming
  • Logo and wordmark system
  • Colour and typography
  • Voice and copy rules
  • Guidelines and templates

Web

Sites designed and built in the browser, with motion that stays smooth on a phone.

  • Design in the browser
  • Custom builds and Shopify stores
  • Scroll, motion, WebGL and 3D
  • Speed checked on real phones
  • Hosting, domain and handover

How it goes

  1. 01

    Listen

    One long call about the business, then a written brief. Nothing gets drawn until you've signed off on it.

  2. 02

    Direction

    Two directions, each argued for in writing. You pick one, and we push it until it holds.

  3. 03

    Build

    Identity and site made together, so the mark works on a screen from the first day.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Files, guidelines, logins and a site you can edit yourself. You own all of it.
