Blue Boot Creative Collective
Blue Boot Creative Collective
Blue Boot Creative Collective is a platform built to connect designers and makers through creativity, storytelling, and community. Inspired by a sculpture my dad created—a boot filled with wooden poles—the brand honors his expressive artwork and transforms that spirit into a space for creative growth. Blue Boot merges personal expression with professional identity, creating a visual language rooted in curiosity, connection, and bold artistic energy.
The story of blue boot
This brand carries a deeply personal origin. Growing up, my dad expressed himself through abstract artwork—an outlet for healing, reflection, and emotional release. One sculpture in particular—a boot filled with wooden poles—captured a sense of mystery, freedom, and transformation. That sculpture became the foundation of Blue Boot’s identity.
The brand is a tribute to his creativity and the power of art to communicate without words. Blue Boot exists to create that same sense of expression and connection for others.
Logo & Identity
To design the logo, I explored multiple boot sketches inspired directly by the original sculpture. The final mark balances the raw, imperfect character of handmade art with thoughtful, intentional design—merging his expressive style with my own.
The visual system pairs the textured personality of Humblle Rought with the clean modern clarity of Montserrat, supported by abstract iconography shaped by his artwork. The result is a visual language that feels bold, human, and creative.
Applications
The identity comes to life through a range of applications, from wearable merchandise and notebook designs to digital layouts that imagine how Blue Boot would function as an online space for sharing creative work. A large museum-scale poster further illustrates how the visual language expands into powerful, expressive environments.
reflection
This project is rooted in memory and meaning. After my dad passed, his artwork became a reminder of the creative energy we shared. Building Blue Boot allowed me to turn that memory into something living—something he would be proud of. Beyond honoring his legacy, this project taught me how to construct a brand from concept to execution, shaping identity, voice, and emotional narrative into a cohesive system.
