Cardiff possesses strong brains identity, so research was an integral part of this design process. One key component is the use of Asian motifs throughout their boards, which led to my picking the koi fish as my primary visual. Intricate line work, limited color palette, and subtle patterns are also used across Cardiff’s boards. This led to my use of cream, black, and beige as my primary color palette, with a bright orange accenting the visuals.
