Hi, my name is Fabienne and I create linocuts and book illustrations. I struggle with my brand colors, because I can‘t break it down to a handful of options. But I am pretty sure, that my brand is autumn-based with a sprinkle of spring in it.

Mood board:



The tone:

Nostalgia:
Heritage, well-worn, traditional, clocks, vintage, black & white, letterpress, wistfulness, dusty

Artisanal:
Haptics, perfection of imperfection, craftmanship, workshop/atelier, dirt/grime, brushstrokes, unpolished, rugged

Self-expression:
Freedom, barefoot, airy/light, flowing, by myself/solitude, handwriting, fingerprints

Cozy:
Warm, fireplace/campfire, charcoal, topsoil, leather, bark, sunkissed, linen, woolen blanket

Stability:
Secure place, home(land), bold, substantial, abundant, calmness/tranquility


The colors from my mood board:
The first color palatte is my favourite, because I like the navy blue-mustard-combination - I am a bit biased. I really struggle and want to take every color from my favourites. Any suggestions? Your advice is much appreciated.

Here are some samples with the 1. palette I did in Canva:


Thanks again for another helpful class!
