Creating an epic visual language

Energy lines significance
Lines 03
Visual treatment of images and graphics

We used energy lines to depict the epic work people at CredAvenue were doing. The 2 outer lines represent the loan seekers and the loan lenders the central line represents loan enablers i.e CredAvenue. These 3 lines together form the energy lines used as the primary visual devices across brand creatives.

They were also used as a part of the photography treatment, going around the subject depicting the epic CredAvenue energy.

Creating a colour palette and typography system for CredAvenue which reflects their values and ethics.

We used blues from the CredAvenue logo to build the brand colours. A secondary palette of shades consisting of blues and greens along with a few contrasting colours was created.

Poppins was used as the primary heading typeface since it stands out due to its monolinear strokes. The body copy used was HK Grotesk for its legibility and neatness.
