Definitions

CBD

(Cannabidiol)
CBD can be derived from hemp or from non-hemp plants. Hemp is defined as any part of the cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the mind-altering substance in marijuana.

Benefits include no intoxication, pain and inflammation reducing, anxiety reducing, better sleep, seizure reducing.

CBG

(Cannnabigerol)
CBG is often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids because other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), an acidic form of CBG.

Benefits include no intoxication, digestive and antibacterial benefits, pain & inflammation reducing, and neuroprotective properties.

CBC

(Cannabichromene)
CBC doesn’t bind with other cannabinoids but it does bind with other receptors in the body which are linked to pain perception. When CBC activates these receptors, increased levels of the body’s natural endocannabinoids like anandamide are released.

Benefits include no intoxication, lowering risk of cancer, neuroprotection, neuroregeneration, and analgesic benefits

CBN

(Cannabinol)
CBN is a non-intoxicating compound that is best known as the cannabinoid created when THC ages. For that reason, it’s usually present in high amounts in older cannabis.

Benefits include no intoxication, antibacterial benefits, neuroprotective properties, appetite-stimulation, and better sleep



Brand System




The original logo is a wordmark with the tittle under the mark rather than above the “i”.
The proposed logo is still a wordmark but in Josefin Sans. The “e” at the end is tilted back to resembled relaxation.















What I learned

Bimble was a really fun project as there were so many new things to learn. I was challenged to help direct a photoshoot and create cohesive compositions, create a collaged packaging style that could easily be transferred across the brand, and work in a maximalist style without compromising the identity of the brand. This brand also required a lot of research in order for the group to decide the brand voice, audience, and overall style.

In the end, this project is among my favorites because the team communicated efficiently so as to create a cohesive style that we all had to agree on and implement across all touchpoints.
