Case Study · Completed project
Dutchkinz: turning a rough concept into a brand with character.
Custom commercial illustration gave a traditional Dutch food brand a more developed visual identity. The project demonstrates how character, composition and production awareness shape a useful brand asset.
Project overview
The scope at a glance.
- Original commercial illustration
- Brand identity
- Production-minded visual development
The opportunity
What the business needed.
Dutchkinz needed an identity with warmth, personality and a recognizable visual foundation for its traditional Dutch products.
The challenge
What needed a more considered approach.
The early visual direction expressed an idea but needed more developed character work and composition for consistent brand use.
The strategy
Connect the work to its purpose.
Create original artwork around the personality of the brand, then consider how it would read and reproduce across physical and digital applications.
The work
Our contribution.
- Developed original character illustration.
- Refined the composition and visual identity.

The creative difference
Early direction and developed commercial illustration.
Early visual direction

Developed brand illustration

The comparison highlights character relationships, composition and a coherent visual personality. These decisions help a brand asset work beyond a single layout.
Results and current support
A clear account of the outcome.
The finished artwork provides a distinctive visual foundation. The comparison is about design decisions and the work itself, not criticism of another individual.
