I decided to work with a fictional company for this - Mr.Kitty's Krazy Katnip. Mr.Kitty is my cat, and he is all about the catnip. His business sells catnip in dark alleyways as a somewhat sketchy context. He needs a website to promote his products, and this brand identity project will help him on that path.
*Note: It will be a bit before I update this again - I need to make a logo for him before I go any farther...
