Objective & Inspiration

Objective: To design an identity for a cannabis dispensary that is welcoming, clean, friendly with a focus on health and wellness. 

Inspiration: I was inspired to create this project by the immense possibility for industry that legal marijuana creates. After reading a recent article, I was stunned to learn that Colorado is set to receive $200 million in tax dollars from marijuana sales. Last year Denver received $27.5 million alone. I was inspired to design an identity for a dispensary that strayed away from the psychedelic, dark, trippy head-shops of yore and made patrons feel as though they were walking into a trendy juice bar or upscale cosmetics shop. No door-beads or black lights here, just a clean, friendly, bright environment.
