02 Problem

Problem

The previous website of THCC was cluttered and did not speak to their target audience. The main colors of their brand, hot pink, white, black, did not resonate with the message they want to convey to potential clients. Overall the website could use a more modern feel and showcase what they stand for: making your company flourish and grow.

Research Question

How can we improve the brand of THCC to protray their core values in the design of their website?

03 Brand Feel

First mock-ups

The first designs that were shown to the board of THCC. The main goal was to see if th design choices alligned with their vision. Overall the colours and imagery fit well with what was invisioned for the website. They loved the sunflower theme to tell the story of growth, flourishment and positivity. However the website missed the modern feel.

06 Imagery

Imagery

Images should connect to the ideals of THCC, flourish, positive energy, well-being, making a difference to society. Central theme of the images is showing growth and the feeling of positive change. The warm hue and colours in the images give off a sense of comfort. Where the people make the connection to well being and society.
