A brand with chromatic freedom.
The brand draws inspiration from Spotify's design approach, aiming to create a visual identity that embraces a vibrant and unrestricted use of colors. This freedom of color is intentionally tied to the brand's focus on Data, Business and Market Intelligence within Africa’s Creator Economy, reflecting its dynamic and ever-evolving nature.

There was a need to balance boldness with elegance. The primary bold sans-serif font is modern, clear and confident—perfect for grabbing attention and highlighting the brand’s authority in data and market insights. Paired with Playfair Display, a sophisticated serif, it adds a touch of trust and classic depth. This blend shows that while the brand is innovative and forward-thinking, it also holds credibility and a timeless quality that resonates with its audience.



Charts and Illustration Style
We designed flat, floating, isometric illustrations and infographics to simplify complex data while maintaining a visually appealing and professional aesthetic. Bold colors, clean typography and dynamic charts work together to highlight key insights, ensuring the fast-paced nature of the industry is reflected. This approach ensures the information is engaging, digestible and retains a modern, innovative feel that resonates with the target audience.

Design Direction
The use of bold colors, images, illustrations, info-graphics and charts makes the information engaging and easy to read. The clear typography highlights key insights, capturing the fast-paced nature of the industry while maintaining a modern and professional feel.




Brochure Design Direction
Earlier this year, I collaborated with the founders to create a comprehensive report on Nigeria's music industry. This report showcases key milestones and developments from H1 2024, offering a snapshot of industry trends, competitiveness, consumer preferences and emerging patterns.
