I explored competitors such as breweries embracing environmental responsibility, analyzing their values, packaging designs, and community initiatives. This research provided insights into industry trends and helped identify opportunities for differentiation. To define Terra Brewery’s visual identity, I created a mood board inspired by nature, minimalistic design, and bold typography, drawing elements from outdoor brands and eco-friendly packaging solutions. This foundation ensured the brand captured both its purpose and a modern, inviting aesthetic.
