BRIEF ELEVEN - YCN - MOO BRIEF - ILLUSTRATION STYLE

Following the review of MOO's brand guidelines I progressed with the project by collecting a body of secondary research reviewing clean, vector based illustrations similar to the those used as examples in the MOO brand guidelines to define illustration style. 


MOO ILLUSTRATIONS - BRAND GUIDELINES 

The illustrations below were featured in the MOO brand guidelines PDF booklet that was available as part of the project pack. The style of illustration has certain characteristics that can be immediately associated with MOO's brand identity.

ILLUSTRATION STYLE ATTRIBUTES;

  • Simple, shape based illustrations.
  • Thick, bold lines.
  • Clean vectors.
  • Rounded caps.
  • Limited colour use.
  • Pattern fills.







SECONDARY RESEARCH - ILLUSTRATION STYLE
