01 / SOMETHING WORTH FINDING

A shop with
a point of view.

SIDE STREET is an imagined independent store for clothing, books and everyday objects. The kind of place you find by taking the longer way home.

The brief was to make that feeling recognisable before anyone steps inside. A considered serif wordmark, a quiet palette and a curious little bird bring the same welcoming character to the sign, the space and the bag.

Quiet confidence.
A curious spirit.

THE WORDMARKSIDE
STREET
A FAMILIAR SERIF. A DISTINCTIVE PRESENCE.
YOUR LITTLE GUIDEOriginal curious bird identity illustrationA CHARACTER THAT ALWAYS LOOKS AROUND THE NEXT CORNER.

The wordmark feels established without feeling formal. The bird adds an unexpected, human touch. A right-angle path becomes the graphic thread that guides the wider identity.

the detour.

GOOD THINGS, JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

S / S

One strong sign. A smaller signal.
A recognisable welcome at every scale.

THE IDENTITY, IN MOTION

A small turn.
A new discovery.

A line turns a corner, becomes a doorway and opens for the bird. The motion tells the same story as the name: follow your curiosity and see what happens.

03 / AN IDENTITY, PUT TO WORK

Make the difference
easy to see.

A useful mockup answers a question. Here, the question is simple: how does a quiet shopfront become a place you recognise?

THE IDENTITY APPLIED / FASCIA, SIDE SIGN, WINDOW & PACKAGING
01 / THE FASCIA

Be recognised.

The wordmark and ink-blue field give the shop a clear presence from across the street.

02 / THE SIDE SIGN

Be found.

A compact S / S marker makes the identity visible along the pavement.

03 / THE WINDOW

Invite a closer look.

A short welcome adds character while keeping the objects and display in view.

ONE MARK, DIFFERENT SURFACES

Designed to belong
on the object.

The smaller sign uses the same identity in a more compact form. Its lettering follows the face of the board, with a consistent position on both sides.

The purpose of the mockup is to check scale, placement and how the mark reads from a different direction.

FROM FLAT ARTWORK TO A USABLE MOCKUP

The form.
The finish. The detail.

A slow, automatic presentation moves from paper bags to the canvas carryall, revealing the artwork, construction and materials. You can explore an angle whenever you want.

04 / TAKE A LITTLE DISCOVERY HOME

More than a bag.
A small reminder.

The identity leaves the shop with you. Bags, tags, tissue and a reusable carryall extend the same quiet character into the everyday.

A BRAND THAT GOES WITH YOU

A little company.
For the long way home.

The carryall gives the identity another life beyond the counter. The bird remains a small, recognisable companion rather than a decorative extra.

The detail
has a job.

Stitched attachments support the handles. A folded hem finishes the opening. Soft shaping and a closed sewn base give the bag a believable form.

The artwork follows that form, with surface detail carried into the interactive mockup. The close-up and the turnable object come from the same 3D model.

THE LAST IMPRESSION / AI-GENERATED LIFESTYLE CAMPAIGN CONCEPT
THE CONNECTING THREAD

Found around a corner.
Remembered everywhere.

A clear idea connects a name, a visual identity, a space and the things you take away. Each detail makes the next one feel familiar.

01 / IDENTITY

A recognisable point of view.

Wordmark, character, palette and language that feel like one brand.

02 / SPATIAL VISUALISATION

A place you can picture.

Application mockups make the effect of the identity, signage and materials tangible.

03 / EVERYDAY APPLICATIONS

A story that travels.

Packaging, campaign imagery and motion carry the same idea beyond the shop.
