As the Digital Graphic Designer at Book Outlet, I’ve created everything from bold, "ugly" ad campaigns, scroll-stopping social posts to fun interactive email designs and refreshed branding. Over four years growing the branding across every channel has been such an exciting and fulfilling journey.
Brand Identity
Rebranded Book Outlet's logo to match the growth and vision the company is striving for. Alongside that, we defined our creative direction by building design systems.
- Logo Redesign: To identity our brand and product, the addition of a dot on the book icon reinforces the message elevating the brand's identity.
- Brand System Extension: Developed clear guidelines for logo, colour, typography and other elements across all channels to ensure the branding is consistent throughout.
Web Design
Crafted the visual experience from high-impact page features down to reusable UI components.
- Featured Graphics: Designed hero banners, promotional tiles, and category modules that highlighted key sales and collections.
- UI & Layouts: Built flexible component libraries and page templates for landing pages and category hubs, ensuring visual consistency and speed to market.
Email Design
Designed email, not only for promotional purposes, but to entice the reader into discovery through aesthetic appeal, and keeping up with cultural credibility.
- Promotional Sends: Created visually compelling weekly sale announcements and campaign launches.
- Triggered Flows: Designed automated series for welcome, cart abandonment, and re-engagement with a tailored, relevant feel.
Organic Social Design
Developed a social content that blended polished brand moments with authentic, relatable community vibes to foster loyalty.
- Carousels, Stories & Posts: Created relatable and trendy designs that match the audience on each social platform that helps build a online community of Book Outlet lovers.
Paid Media Design
Translated the brand's value proposition into high-converting ad creative by focusing on creating assets that felt like a great recommendation from a friend to stop the scroll and drive clicks.
- UGC-Style Video & Static Ads: Produced snappy, testimonial-style videos and display ads with a user-generated feel to build trust and demonstrate the "treasure hunt" or "book FOMO" experience.
- Platform-Optimized Creative: Tailored ad formats and messaging for Meta, Pinterest, and display networks, ensuring maximum relevance and performance.
