Brand Assets







Posters

Displayed at local hangouts, street corners, music venues and shopping areas. 


Inspired by stretched type and the unique, "quirky" nature of each letter being so different. This style hints at the unique and individuality of each piece at the store.




Handouts

Square handouts given out at local events, posted on bulletin boards, to increase foot traffic in store.




Advertising



Shop Local is big statement that is especially popular in Austin with so many small and local businesses (food trucks, thrift stores, bakeries, etc.) Shop local, and shop vintage insinuate customers will be shopping local, while also shopping vintage (meaning used items)—a sense of recycling and purchasing something with history and a story. This copy creates a feeling that customers will do something beneficial by shopping local, shopping vintage, and shopping Modera!


Instagram Feed


The 4 corner images on the Instagram grid are the centered outlined box, and the 4 cross corners are the off-center. This style creates a collage feel, something nostalgic like a scrapbook. The brand guide would show this interchangeable use (every other image) of the offset stroke, and the centered. Occasionally, there would be an advertisement (centered) which would be surrounded by both off-centered posts.
