Client Work

Rania came into the branding process with a strong vision and understanding of her business. The process was a true collaboration, and together we created a mark that represents her company values and compliments her photographic aesthetic.
​
Among other things, she creates video content for Youtube, so a motion graphic was a must. The graphic can be used as a beginning or end slate and creates more interest than a static logo.

Northbound Journey's aesthetic is natural, muted tones, and the focus on "close-by adventures" stems from the values of sustainability, minimalism and slow living.
​
The logo compliments Rania's photographic style, and infuses her passion for minimalistic living into a meaningful mark. The colour palette pairs perfectly with her established visual tone.

A series of geometric icons were created for use on the Northbound Journeys social media accounts. The icons are simplistic and compliment the logo.
​
Since working with Rania on her logo and visual identity, her Instagram following has grown, and she has formed a new partnership with Olympus Sweden as an ambassador and content creator.
