In this phase, each team member had individual work within their areas of expertise. My role as a Designer was to create our logo and brand identity, ensuring alignment with our project objectives and vision.
Drawing inspiration from the renowned craftsmanship of bees in producing honey, we named our brand ‘Craft Bee.’ Our mission is to offer our vast customers the finest hobby tools and equipment, empowering them to unleash their creativity to the fullest extent.
Our idea was to create a name that was;
Easy to remember, unforgettable, and different from competitors, we a curiosity for consumers about who we are compared to other brands.

Typography
Primary: Eino.
We chose it for its simplicity and readability, which impart a sense of honesty and sensibility to our brand and products, distinguishing us from the more conventional typefaces like Helvectiva.
Second: Lora
Mainly used for product descriptios and other small details on our website. When using this typography, we want to give our audience a feel of formality and class.
Colors
The color palette is a rustic-colored theme. We have faded red, teal, orange peach, sandy brown, and pale yellow. Rustic colors are known to have earthy tones that give off a relaxing and welcoming vibe. It also embraces the natural look and organic warmth that we want our customers to be able to receive from our brand and products we sell.
Our final phase! I began creating wireframes for our website interfaces while collaborating with Dylan, our software developer. Our teamwork in communicating and exchanging ideas allowed me to implement creative insights into the design process for our website wireframes.
