A packaging concept for a retail snack brand, showing three stand-up pouches that share one layout. Each pouch has a clear order of information: brand, flavour, product window and claim badge. Bold colours help each flavour stand out on the shelf, and the system can extend to new flavours and sizes. Concept created to show design direction.

The Brief An author needed a cover for a mindfulness and wellness guide that feels calm, modern and trustworthy. It had to attract readers looking for peace and balance, stand out among self-help titles online, and stay readable at thumbnail size. What I Made I designed a minimal cover with a soft cream background and an earthy palette of deep green, sage and warm terracotta. The artwork is a layered landscape of rolling hills, a rising sun and a leafy branch with fine gold line details, which suggests calm and new beginnings. I paired a classic serif title with clean spaced capitals for the subtitle and author name. I set the word “You” in terracotta to make it the emotional focus. I also presented the cover as a hardcover mockup on a neutral background. The Result The cover feels peaceful and professional, with a clear hierarchy from title to subtitle to author. It reads well at small sizes and suits the wellness market. It is ready for Amazon KDP / print / eBook].

The Brief A coffee shop needed an eye-catching poster to promote its iced coffee range and bring in morning customers. The design had to feel warm, relaxed and premium, with a short message people could read in a few seconds, and it had to fit the brand’s cozy café personality in both print and social media formats. What I Made I designed a vertical poster built around one hero image, a tall iced latte in warm sunlight on a wooden table. I wrote and set the headline, “Slow mornings. Better coffee.”, in a bold sans-serif, with the second line in a warm caramel tone that echoes the drink. I placed the Bean & Bloom logo at the top and added a short sign-off at the bottom, “Good coffee. Brighter days.”, with a small accent line. I kept the layout clean, with generous space around the text, so the product stays the focus. The Result The poster is inviting, easy to read from a distance and consistent with a modern café brand. It is ready for print / Instagram / in-store display], and the layout can be adapted into story, flyer and menu formats.

The Brief A natural skincare brand needed a complete visual identity that feels clean, calm and trustworthy. The goal was a look that would stand out in a crowded beauty market and carry across packaging, social media and print, while speaking to people who care about gentle, plant-based products. What I Made I created a full brand system: Logo and tagline: a leaf mark with an elegant serif wordmark and the line “Healthy Skin. Naturally You.” Color palette: deep green, fresh lime, warm cream and white, chosen to feel natural and premium. Packaging design: labels and a carton for the face cream, cleanser and brightening serum, finished with wood-tone caps and soft botanical line art. Business card: a two-sided card that carries the brand look into print. Social media campaign: four sample posts (a brand message, a product feature, an ingredients story and a benefits post) plus a social footer banner. The Result The brand looks consistent and premium across every touchpoint, from the shelf to the feed, and gives the client a ready-to-use visual system for launch.

The Brief The author needed a gentle, inviting cover for a children’s story about a young girl and her diary. It had to feel cozy and imaginative, appeal to young readers and the parents buying for them, and stand out in a crowded children’s section online. What I Made I designed a soft pastel cover in lilac, blush pink and cream. It shows a curly-haired girl sitting on her bed with her diary, in front of a sunlit window with flowing curtains, climbing vines and daisies. I chose a friendly, hand-lettered title style and used the daisy as a recurring detail that ties into the story’s name. I also presented the cover as a 3D paperback mockup against a soft lilac wall, so the author could picture it as a finished book. The Result The cover feels warm, playful and easy to read at a glance, and it suits a young readership. It is ready for Amazon KDP / print / eBook].

The author needed a warm, eye-catching cover and opening illustration for a Christmas story for children aged 4 to 8. The story follows Emilio, a boy still getting used to life in the UK, who wishes for a Christmas tree of his own. The goal was an image that feels magical and cozy, and that families would be drawn to when browsing for holiday books. I designed a full wrap-around style cover scene set on a snowy winter street at night. It has glowing windows with Christmas trees, a large golden moon and falling snow. I made Emilio’s hopeful face the emotional focus, with a soft, hand-painted look in deep blues balanced by warm yellows. I also created a playful, hand-lettered title that stays readable at thumbnail size, and left space for the story blurb. The finished cover has a heartwarming, storybook feel that suits the age group and the Christmas theme. It is ready for Amazon KDP / print / eBook], with the title legible at small sizes.

I combined expressive character illustrations, vibrant colors, beautiful scenery, and clean typography to create an engaging reading experience. The result was a bright, heartwarming children's book design that brings Timi's journey to life, captures the imagination of young readers, and presents an inspiring story through a balance of storytelling, illustration, and professional page layout.
