At the moment, retail branding is the current topic in my graphic design class. Three teams are competing for the opportunity to brand a new retail store opening in 2018, so for this week I chose another branding example. Here we see a branding strategy to revive a small Japanese town's 400 year old ceramic business. I really like the use of typography as a decorative element. The design is simple, but bold.

The color is vibrant and the detailed illustration really makes this piece very eye appealing. It is an excellent example of Art Nouveau.
