    uniE621 Packaging Design
    I designed packaging for Lonerider that captures the brand’s rugged, independent spirit through bold typography, a moody color palette, and illustrative elements inspired by outlaw and Western motifs. I used textured materials and a matte finish to enhance its tactile appeal, while carefully considering structural and visual elements to ensure strong shelf presence and brand recognition. The design conveys authenticity and grit, aligning with Lonerider’s rebellious identity. branding graphicdesigner designer illustrator
