Hi, my name is Pedro Ramírez and I am Graphic Designer born and raised in México. Buddha's Tea is just a fictional project I work with on my free time to keep busy. I intend to design the brand identity for the product applying it to the packaging of at least 2 herbal teas. English is my second language so please excuse any grammatical error.

-Color Palette

Since I want to create a few deliverables for the project, like packaging (2 flavors if possible), coasters, giftbox, postcard, bookmark etc etc; I think this gives me a bigger selection of colors that I need. I selected this few colors for the deliverables I have in mind and still tried to separate them in the three categories (Primary, secondary and neutral) but sitll having second thoughts if I am doing it right.

Any feedback and comments would be nice and appreciated. (Also, any ideas for the branding deliverables would be great)

- Graphic Elements

Finally an update! I've been working these past weeks –in the little spare time I had– on the Graphic Elements along with a mock-up for a Buddha's Tea packaging. The patterns I used are inspired by the shape of the logo, the dots are also from the logo. I will update the project with some photos of the mock-up as soon as possible. Hope you like it!
