Decorative Initial Letter

Client: Micaela Maltinti Studio

Art Director: Micaela Maltinti

This project involved designing a decorative initial letter inspired by the first letter of my name. The aim was to create a visually stunning piece that authentically reflects my personal style. The brief encouraged exploring inspirations ranging from historical letterforms to nature, geometric patterns, or pop culture, with decorative elements like flourishes, textures, patterns, and colour schemes that convey individuality and personality.

Drawing inspiration from the unbalanced-balance, illuminated books and themes of adventure and new beginnings, I designed this piece as a symbolic start to a new chapter. Incorporating elements like a beetle and stars for good luck and guidance, the design reflects personal meaning while using a colour palette from my branding to evoke a playful yet powerful witch-mystery vibe. To push its potential further, I explored how this design could work in real life across products, apparel, and home décor, showcasing its versatility.
