Target Brand Development
Visual Brand Language
Client: Target
Studio: Jones Knowels Ritchie
Industry: Commercial Retail
Design Director: Esther Li
Designer: Bryan Barham
Skill: Visual brand language, moodboard development
Leading department store, Target, approached JKR to brand their forthcoming baseline brand. The more affordable, in-house line would need to appeal to the mass market while expressing the vibrancy and design sensibility that has made Target iconic. The new line would need to expand to packaging for all departments from groceries to housewares.
While freelancing at JKR, I contributed to the moodboarding and early visual language development. This territory pays homage to the recognizable Target brand while expanding it with expressive typography, bold color blocking, and lots of personality.
