I was brought in to work on this project for Family Centered Design by a learning design agency, Creature Learning. FCD was a new program within a design-oriented education non-profit; they wanted to build the visual brand from the ground up. I spend the first few weeks gathering information from FCD about their vision for the brand, and conducting research into competitive spaces, and put together these moodboards.
FCD decided they wanted a fun and zine-style approach to visual branding - with this direction in mind, I got to work on developing a color palette couple different illustration styles for them to choose between.
I also developed a custom font to achieve the hand-lettering effect that FCD wanted:
