Stylescapes

A stylescape bridges planning & implementation in branding & web design. They help visualize brand attributes & messaging across platforms.

Below are stylescapes we created for clients, aligning their brand identity with their goals.

In each set, the top stylescape was the winning option chosen by the project stakeholders.

What Is a Stylescape?

A stylescape is a curated collection of seamlessly harmonized design elements. It combines creativity and strategy, creating a visual roadmap for a cohesive brand.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, our stylescapes generally include:

  • Brand Attributes: Each stylescape should be inspired by 2-3 brand attributes. Including these attributes within the stylescape can be helpful.
  • Colors: Use an appropriate color palette for the brand attributes. Each stylescape should have a different color palette.
  • Images: Use images that match the color palette and brand attributes. Each stylescape should have different images.
  • Logo or logo concepts if available.
  • Typography: Choose appropriate fonts for the brand attributes. Each stylescape should use a different font. Including font names in the stylescape can be helpful.
  • Textures and patterns if appropriate for the brand.
  • Illustration styles if appropriate for the brand.
  • Layout: Maintain a balanced layout of elements throughout the stylescape.

Designing a stylescape comes after establishing a brand strategy. During the collaborative process, you express your goals, ideas, and visions to your designer to define a clear visual representation of your brand.

Stylescape sizes can vary, although we generally use an aspect ratio of 104:21 or a size of 388 pixels (height) x 1920 pixels (width).

Stylescape Vs. Mood Board

A mood board is a basic visual collage for inspiration, while a stylescape strategically combines images, illustrations, patterns, and colors to match your brand identity.

Key Takeaway: Stylescapes streamline the design process, helping everyone involved to brainstorm and understand necessary elements. Clients can see brand assets and make informed decisions before marketing.
