Context

Rebranding with a fresh look

Working across redesign of brand, new e-commerce website, packaging and much more. Founded in 1956, Dwayne's Photo has been a leader in the film processing industry for over 60 years. We wanted to continue to celebrate their humble beginning as we move forward with a new modern look.

Key takeaway

A rebrand does not stop at graphics. For Dwayne's, we continued to work through iterations to make sure we highlighted the humble beginnings of their grandfather and highlight their products with colorful highlights across their product packaging and digital presence.
