My approach
I wanted to incorporate a bit of popular culture here, so I was inspired by the hit television show The Bear and the functional, yet stylish aesthetic of chefs that has recently become widely popular. The hook for the sample poster, “non-negotiable,” is a reference to Carmy’s declaration at the start of Season 3. “Non-negotiable” also speaks to Essentialist’s customers who value investment in products with high-quality fabrics that last.
I also wanted all the copy to be simple and straightforward, echoing the brand’s 'less, but better' ethos. I also chose basic fonts to match this style.
