RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Laika method is based on the synergy between linguistic and pictorial skills. Every project begins with the construction of meaning, an affirmation, and the need to design small graphic narratives. Thus, the visual identity project expands upon the detailed and strategic work of building an imaginary universe that represents the culture of the Dona Vitamina brand.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to reinvigorate the language of the Dona Vitamina brand. The brand is a timeless woman and master of her own will. Allowing the brand's voice to propagate itself in other female representations was the path for the brand to become polyphonic and collective. A series of illustrations of women interacting with elements of everyday life and nature were created, in a stencil style, to represent female polyphony. The voices are with fun phrases, translating the brand's spirit.
