Project Overview
This project is a full advertising campaign built around the launch of Tacones Orquídea, an artisanal heel from the Mexican footwear label Tissimum, developed in collaboration with a local boutique partner. The brief called for a strategic, persuasive campaign for a handmade regional product entering a new market, positioning the shoe not just as footwear, but as a wearable piece of Mexican craft identity aimed at confident, style driven women aged 20 to 40. The work moves through a complete advertising development arc: theoretical grounding in campaign typology and persuasion methods, primary research into the product's cultural and material context, a structured teardown of competitor and reference campaigns (Valentino, Christian Louboutin, Miu Miu, Isabel Marant, and others), audience definition through demographic, psychographic and sociocultural profiling down to a named buyer persona, and a creative strategy phase that distilled all of this into a positioning line, tone, and concept territory.
From there the process becomes tangible: three parallel rounds of hand drawn sketches exploring emotional, rational, and proactive creative routes, narrowed through client style corrections into a single selected concept and formalized in a creative matrix (concept, copy, promise, tone). That concept was then taken into digital production, first as digital roughs, refined through iteration, and finally resolved into a full suite of finished assets: posters, exterior billboards, mini billboards, printed banners, a magazine spread, and a matching set of digital formats (Instagram posts, stories, carousels, Reels, and TikTok video), each specified with exact dimensions, resolution, and color mode ready for production. The campaign closes with applied mockups and physical dummies showing the work in real placements, backed by a full media plan and cost breakdown across two months of flighting.

Context
The visual language is built around a single unifying motif: the orchid. Rather than treating the flower as decoration, it's used as the campaign's central symbol, standing in for femininity, exclusivity, and the handmade character of the product, and it threads consistently through the color story, photography direction, and copy ("La perfección se eleva en tacón"). The palette leans into soft, saturated florals: lilac, rose, and warm orange tones, carried across posters, billboards, and social formats with enough consistency that a single piece from the set reads immediately as part of the same campaign.

Typography and composition stay disciplined: clean, legible hierarchies built for distance reading on outdoor formats, paired with more editorial, delicate type treatments on the printed poster and magazine pieces, echoing the elegant, feminine, aspirational tone defined in the creative strategy. The competitive audit did real work here. Valentino and Louboutin's minimalist, high contrast product first compositions and Bon Bonite's soft monochrome staging visibly shaped the decision to keep the product as the undisputed visual anchor in every execution, while Miu Miu and Isabel Marant's saturated color language informed the decision to lean into color rather than neutrals.

Every deliverable was engineered for its output medium: CMYK for print, RGB for digital, format accurate crops for billboard, story, reel, and carousel, which speaks to a design system built for production, not just presentation. The final mockups and dummies close the loop, showing the identity holding up believably in situ: on a plaza billboard, a printed poster, and physical collateral, which is ultimately the test of whether a campaign identity is strong enough to survive contact with the real world.

Everything You Need to Know About the Process Before Bringing Your Vision to Life.
Everything You Need to Know About the Process Before Bringing Your Vision to Life.
What graphic design services do you offer?
I work across brand identity, logo design, visual systems, print and editorial layouts, packaging, and digital assets for web and social. With 7 years of experience, I can take a project from early concept all the way to final, production-ready files.
What does your design process look like?
It usually starts with a short discovery call to understand your goals, audience, and references. From there I move into research and concepts, share initial directions for feedback, then refine the chosen route through revision rounds before delivering the final files and guidelines.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines depend on scope. A logo or small identity piece often takes 1–2 weeks, while a full brand system or multi-page layout can run 3–6 weeks. I'll always share a clear schedule with milestones before we begin.
How many revisions are included?
Each project includes two to three rounds of revisions on the selected direction, so we can fine-tune the details together. Additional rounds or new creative directions can be added if the scope grows.
What files and formats will I receive?
You'll get organized, ready-to-use files for both print and digital — typically vector formats (AI, SVG, PDF) plus PNG and JPG exports. For branding work I also include a simple guideline document covering logo usage, colors, and typography.
How do payments work?
I usually work with 50% upfront and 50% on delivery, unless we agree on something else for larger projects. Everything is outlined clearly before we start, so there are no surprises.
