How to Keep Time

Messenger is an instant messaging app developed by Meta. For this project, my task was to define and develop an in-product brand system that would complement the product design updates for Messenger 4. The in-product brand included product illustrations, lightweight actions, stickers, reactions, power-ups, and extending to other surfaces.

01: Ideation

Concepts

The following pages include sketches for the 'How to Keep Time' podcast cover. A few points to note: the sketches are a little more 
hi-fidelity than pencil sketches. I find it quicker to draw geometric shapes in vector. Let me know if this is ok. Also, I added color to the spray paint shapes. I usually keep black and white but seemed appropriate in this context. I can add these colors quickly in Procreate. Once we've settled on a sketch, I'll recreate it using actual spray paint. All feedback is welcome, and I can quickly produce more sketches if needed.

Final Art

These final two sketches are more conceptual and editorial compared to the previous set. While they still utilize bold spray paint dots, there is a greater opportunity to use them more sparingly.
