As an extension of the apparel concept, I designed additional touchpoints such as clothing tags, buttons, social media posts, and thank you cards to accompany each purchase. Some elements are shared across the collection, while others are customized to reflect the cultural inspiration of each design.

I developed promotional materials including posters and a social media post. The social media post introduces a new collaboration with the fictional artist Amina Kofi, expanding the narrative of the brand. The posters highlight the three collaborations designed for the collection, with each poster visually reflecting the colours, patterns, and design choices used in the corresponding apparel pieces.
