Agua de Madre: A Vibrant Rebrand for a Probiotic Drink ✨

Designed by award-winning creative director Chris Chapman, Agua de Madre's new branding blends retro nostalgia with a modern, edgy twist. The goal was to design a multigenerational product that feels joyful, inclusive, and inspiring.

Visuals: The rebrand uses vibrant colors and nostalgic typefaces, paired with playful, overlapping "sticker" graphics to evoke childhood joy and a lively, soda-like feel. This approach bridges the drink's retro charm with a contemporary edge, making it stand out in the beverage market.

Logo and Typography: While modernizing the identity, Chapman retained the Madre's face illustration and the existing wordmark font as central elements. The typefaces combine a familiar, playful tone with a professional polish, reflecting both the drink's health benefits and its celebratory essence. 🌿

GOFRUSHA 2.0 🌸
by Valeriya Batizatova

The startup is an innovative and dynamic lighting design that pushes the boundaries of functionality and aesthetics. This modular chandelier is composed of five children's heated tubes and warm-toned light bulbs, with the added feature of being a shape-shifting lamp.

The design allows users to rotate and adjust the structure to suit their preferred lighting ambiance. Made from eco-friendly, secondary-processable materials like corrugated ABS plastic pipes and 3D-printed decorative elements, GOFRUSHA 2.0 combines form and sustainability, making it a standout piece in modern object design 🌟
