Ink & Tide

Ink & Tide is a seafood restaurant branding concept inspired by my passion for illustration and creating distinctive, story-led design. At the heart of the identity is an original squid illustration, hand-drawn by me and brought to life through a considered combination of expressive artwork, ocean-inspired blues and refined typography. From the branding and colour palette to the wider visual concepts, every creative element was developed by me to create a cohesive identity that captures the character of the sea. Using AI-assisted visualisation, I transformed my ideas into realistic mockups, exploring how the brand could come to life across restaurant signage, menus, business cards, interiors and staff uniforms. This project brings together my love of drawing, branding and creating beautiful, immersive design experiences.
