Project Overview

Client: Good Buy Cars
Role: Lead Brand & Digital Designer
Scope: Brand identity · Website UI · Marketing ecosystem · Social content · Print assets · Vehicle branding

The Challenge

Create a brand and digital presence that feels trustworthy, modern, and friendly — supporting a seamless experience for people buying and selling used vehicles across South Africa.

The identity needed to work across digital, print, environmental, and vehicle touchpoints, while communicating approachability and professionalism.

The Solution

I developed a fresh brand system anchored in bold typography, playful graphic elements, and a vibrant colour palette that conveys energy and ease. The design direction emphasises clarity and confidence, helping customers feel informed and supported throughout the buying and selling process.

The digital experience was reimagined through clean layouts, intuitive information hierarchy, and simple user flows that reduce friction and highlight key actions. To ensure cohesion, the visual system was extended into social media, marketing material, signage, and a full vehicle livery.
