for the contest The Matcha Store needs great stationery and broschures
Submitted design #1
alright, this is my first entry for the b-card design here..
i'll also upload a version with a bit more curved lines instead of the sharp and straight ones i put in this design.. let me know what you thing, if you prefer different colors or more/less details, fonts etc..
all the best.
Regarding design #1
Here we go,
The first entry and already it looks great.
Like the general concept, not crazy about the leaf as a watermark but it does look very clean
The colour is good as a professional look personally I find it just a little cold.
Maybe you could have something going on in the background, even an image or something.
Very professional, keep playing around and see what you come up with.

Submitted design #2
Hi Kevin,
this is my second version, this time i made a vertical one, with soft and warm colors and just some elegant and not aggressive curves.. colors fit perfectly, and if you prefer i can also put you tagline on the front side of the card..
let me know what you think. by the way, revision for the first version is coming soon :)
all the best, goran.
Regarding design #2
Hi Goran,
Not liking the colours.I prefer quite bold or vivid ones a la the product labels.
The logo, courtesy of Mustafa from Pakistan is in my humble opinion a total icon, so by making it smaller here it loses power. The last one was great from a size point of view.
You're going for a very clean look which is nice but theres too much empty space going on in this and its very difficult to make empty space work well. Here it just looks uninteresting.
The tagline doesnt really have to be on stationery, but its essential for the broschure. If you can work it in in a way that works great.
Keep at it
Kevin
Regarding design #2
alright, thanks a lot for the feedback, you can expect revisions soon! :)
all the best, goran.
Submitted design #3
hi again kevin,
this time i worked with some brighter colors.. i intentionally avoid using images, as i prefer clean vector design over rasters and images in b-cards.. i think it's pretty stylish and neat, also planning to drop another one with a green color that reminds of "health" if you know what i'm saying :)
let me know what you think!
best regards, goran.
Regarding design #3
Again good design, really don't like this colour. Going with green is a good idea.
As for avoiding images etc thats fine, you're free to do as you wish but I do have to point out that although you may give me something great that I didn't know I wanted, you're more likely to simply give me something I don't want by disregarding my suggestions.
It's a risky strategy
Kevin
Regarding design #3
thanks for the feedback.. ok then i will proceed with green color.. i'll try to implement an image to avoid the blank spaces, and we'll see what comes out.. all the best, goran.
Submitted design #4
hi kevin,
brighter green, and some images used as well, not too busy and not too empty.. still looking elegant and descriptive..
two similar versions, only difference is the background image on the rear side of the card behind the text..
let me know what you think, all the best, goran.
Submitted design #5
the second one ..
Regarding design #4
Excellent, especially the front side. If you could link up the green in the logo with the foam that would be great, maybe adjust both to meet in the middle colour wise?
the rear side I'm not so in love with - I think if you are going to use an image as a background it should either be that of the bubbles, or the powdered tea itself - something uniform but still visually stimulating.
Youre on the right track here
Kevin
Regarding design #5
Same applies
Regarding design #4
ok, thanks a lot for the feedback kevin, revisions to follow ... all the best, goran
Submitted design #10
hi again kevin,
here you have the revised one .. bubbles on both side fit perfectly.. also i brightened up the leaf on the logo on both sides to it fits the color of the bubbles .. let me know what you think and what you want to see changed!
all the best, goran.
Submitted design #23
Pheeew :) finally complete!
Letterhead, two sided envelope with a .. what do you call that in English, name-holder or? Two sided b-card...
Let me know what you want revised, changed, modified etc!
All the best, Goran.
Regarding design #23
maybe i could remove one of the contact infos on the envelope, possibly the one under the logo and resize the logo so it's bigger? let me know Kevin.
Regarding design #23
It looks good but I'd have more green on the front of the envelope (maybe left and top)and the logo a little bigger. On the back I'd have the logo a little smaller.
On the headed paper, I'd have the logo on the left, and I'd continue the green at the bottom.
The leaf motif I'm not so gone on
Can you put the address from the top somewhere else - I always rip that part of the envelope. Maybe front and bottom right.
The address on the back can go.
If I can make one more suggestion as a general rule, bring more green into the mix.
Thanks
Regarding design #23
Alright Kevin, thanks a lot for the feedback.. Revisions to follow!
Take care, Goran.
Submitted design #40
Hi again Kevin,
Here's the revised version of the stationery.. I moved the logo to the left on the letterhead and extended and moved the green on the bottom. More green added in the mix as you requested, and also removed the address from the top on the envelope cause it already has the address on the rear side.
Let me know if you want something changed.
All the best, Goran.

Hi Kevin,
This is the retail brochure, the cafe/juice one is in progress.
I think it's pretty eye-catching and easy to understand. Enough details added so people can understand what is matcha, and not too complicated so the eye won't know where to look at. Added a brown touch on the bottom right to match with your website. Overall I think it's a smooth and neat design.
Let me know what you think!
All the best, Goran.

p.s. i withdrew the previous one cause i had one word left out. this is a small revision.
Regarding design #40
Getting very good now.
The only thing I'm not so pleased with is the front of the envelope - needs more green - running along the top? Also the logo can be a bit bigger.
Also on th eheaded paper the logo can be bigger but other than that very good effort
Well done
Regarding design #40
Thanks a lot for the feedback Kevin.
I'll start making the revisions right away.
All the best, Goran.
Submitted design #48
Hi Kevin,
A more greener version of my brochure, hope you like it.
Feedback appreciated.
All the best, Goran.
Regarding design #46
I like it Goran, very smooth design. I would maybe move the canister image on page 1 up to replace the basket of leaves as you will need to include the chart somewhere - its absolutely vital to the brochure. Page 1 would probably be better place for it.
I'd possibly include a latte or smoothie or icecream photo somewhere - I want people to see its versatility. Maybe just display elements of the pictures to conserve space for the text.
Anyway, looking forward to the next effort.
Regarding design #46
Alright Kevin, thanks a lot for the feedback, will to revisions now.
However, the way you explained I thought that the chart was only supposed to be on the cafe/juice brochure, not on this one. Also those pics you want added, they would fit better on the other brochure. Anyway, thanks again for comments, and expect revision.
All the best, Goran.
Regarding design #48
I like it better but it needs the same revisions as the last one
Submitted design #50
Okay Kevin,
Another revision, by your request.
Let me know what you think now.
Regarding design #50
Great. Some of the images I would lose (matcha bread, etc) Can you do something similar for the second brochure?
Good job
Submitted design #53
Hi Kevin,
Revised by your request, I think pictures fit perfectly now.
Feedback appreciated.
All the best, Goran.
p.s. second brochure is on its way!

Submitted design #55
And here's the Cafe/Juice brochure.. Colors are a perfect match, it has enough green in it, and text is clear and readable. Positioning of pictures is also nice, and you have the graph. Let me know what you think.
Regarding design #55
I'd make the colour scheme slightly deeper green and whiter white and I'd replace one or two of the images but otherwise, from the point of view of message communication in a clear fashion, you've nailed it.
Well done
Regarding design #54
I would have the logo not square like now, but skirted by the bubbles
The green you've used for the bullet points I'm not so fond of and I'd prefer th elook of the brochureas a whole to be brighter with a deeper green but otherwise very good work
Submitted design #56
Hi again Kevin,
In the meantime I also made revision for the stationery.
You asked for more green on the front side, so I've added more, and also increased the logo size on the same side. Also I slightly increased the font on the back side of the b-card, it's perfectly readable at that size now.
Let me know what you think.
All the best, Goran.
Submitted design #57
Hey Kevin,
Color revision as you requested, let me know if this does it for you, and I'll also revise the logo. But I need to be sure that this is the right color combination you're looking for. Thanks!
Regarding design #56
Great. Someone will have to work hard to top this
Regarding design #57
Very good but I'm looking for something a lot brighter, in terms of whiteness. A few minor revisions necessary but won't make a huge difference to the outcome at this stage. Kick back as its down to the strength of the concepts now rather than revisions etc.
