SELECTED WORK / 2026 BRAND, DIGITAL, STRATEGY
a closer look at the thinking

Inside the work

Selected projects, shown with the reasoning behind them. See how Tide turns a point of view into a visual system or digital experience that can do real work.

Evidence standards

Proof, labeled plainly.

Completed client work shows finished external deliverables. Tide-owned work shows a system running on Tide's own property. Concept studies show creative range. None is presented as a customer outcome unless the supporting evidence is explicitly published.

Creative direction, identity, and visual system

Sun-warmed branding with a system underneath it.

Tide worked with Palm Coast Co. to shape a playful coastal identity that feels distinctive without becoming difficult to use. The completed system brings logos, color, typography, graphics, and photography into one flexible visual language. This case documents the finished output; no sales or conversion outcome is claimed.

  • Logo family
  • Color palette
  • Typography
  • Graphic direction
Web direction, design, build, and motion

A website designed as an unfolding story.

Tide's own website is a working demonstration of its digital point of view. The experience moves from daylight into nightfall through full-bleed imagery, responsive motion, and oversized typography, with static and reduced-motion modes beneath the atmosphere.

  • Experience design
  • Creative direction
  • Motion system
  • Responsive build

Three brands. Three completely different digital worlds.

These self-initiated concepts show how Tide changes the visual language, pacing, and interaction system around the brand instead of applying one house style to every website.
