The Solution

To address Storytellers’ needs, we developed a comprehensive brand identity that aligns with their narrative-driven philosophy. The logo incorporates a handwritten element, symbolizing a personal touch and their client-focused approach. A well-thought-out color palette and typographic system were introduced, balancing sophistication, elegance, and a sense of reliability. This cohesive brand system creates a visually compelling and user-friendly experience, ensuring Storytellers' vision is communicated effectively across all platforms.

The Core Features

Color Palette: For Primary Colours, Yellow (#FFA800), Black (#100F0D), and White (#FFFFFF) combine to create a sophisticated and visually appealing effect. For Secondary Colours, Dark blue (#0D429D) and light blue (#6FC9EF) are used for content highlights and links, reinforcing trust and reliability.

Primary Font: Amsterdam Four, used in the logo, adds a personal and handwritten feel.


Secondary Font: Proxima Nova, a sans-serif typeface, provides clarity and readability across all digital platforms.


Font Sizing: Headings (40px), subheadings (32px), and body text (24px) were defined to ensure visual hierarchy and consistency on the website..

The design features a clean, modern layout with vibrant use of the brand’s color palette. The homepage introduces Storytellers' mission, showcasing their approach to crafting compelling narratives through digital products.

Key sections highlight services, success stories, and team expertise, all with intuitive navigation. Visual consistency is maintained with the use of the brand's custom typography, strategic white space, and high-quality imagery, creating an engaging, user-friendly experience that mirrors their storytelling philosophy.
