PROJECT VISION

The Manana location in Culver City required an update, with the existing logo being replaced by the new design. Additionally, the client requested a rising sun motif on the other window to bring warmth and energy to the space.

CREATIVE APPROACH

To bring the client's vision to life, I hand-drew the half-rising sun directly onto the window, ensuring a balanced and organic composition. For the sun’s center, I used a mirror gilding technique, creating a luminous focal point, while the rays featured a matte gild gradient transitioning from 23k to 18k to 16k gold, adding depth and elegance.

For the Manana logo, I hand-painted the brand’s signature white and red lettering and added a brilliant mirror gold outline to enhance visibility and sophistication. This combination of custom gold leaf signage and traditional sign painting ensured the storefront had a warm, refined, and timeless appeal.
