Process
“Thrive Causemetics® was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering diverse communities (thrivecausemetics.com).”
Developed a promotional billboard for a brand lacking such advertising material. The project was undertaken independently for an academic assignment and was not commissioned by Thrive Causemetics®.

Solution
After reviewing the initial color scheme, I identified issues that could affect visibility and create visual conflict. Consequently, I opted for a simplified monochromatic palette, aligning more closely with the brand identity and effectively conveying the intended message.
New Design created in 2023
