About Stickman Panguna nga Gamit: Brand Identity

Teksto sa Basahon: Ang Stickman usa ka brand identity nga gidesinyo alang sa usa ka bubble tea shop sa Kansas City. Ang identity gibase sa usa ka mahigalaon nga mascot character nga nagrepresentar sa duha ka panguna nga produkto sa tindahan, ang bubble tea ug skewer snacks. Ang artwork gihimo pinaagi sa digital illustration ug vector drawing, aron ang design mahimong i-scale nga walay kawad-on sa katin-awan. Ang Stickman makita sa mga banner, usa ka naiwag nga signage, mga apron, kurtina, baso, straw ug delivery bags, gama sa metal, panapton ug polypropylene. Ang tumong niini mao ang paghatag og mahigugmaon ug madasigon nga panagway alang sa mga bisita sa tanang edad.
