Big Sister is a fictitious second-hand online boutique, inspired by the experience of raiding your older sister’s closet. It was designed to appeal to a target audience of 15-25-year-olds and uses botanic patterns and textures to emphasize the brand’s eco-friendly values. Branding for this project included the creation of a logo, a letterhead, business cards, sales tags for clothing items, and packaging for the clothes to be shipped in. This project became a marker of several things for me: this was the first time I really started to put myself in the shoes of the audience I was trying to reach, thinking about the type of person who would be interested in this company. This was also one of the first times I used integrated illustrated elements with my design work, which is a strategy I have continued to expand upon throughout the past several years.
