When Ferguson Nutrition was ready to bring their Strive Protein Bars to market, the Ishimodo Brand and Design Agency approached Stephen to help complete the design development and roll out this new range. Franklin was supplied with the initial front-of-pack concepts for just the Chocolate and Strawberry variants. He refined the layout of the type elements, retouched high-quality versions of the product hero images, and produced the main artwork elements that would provide a template for the rest of the design rollout. Consequently, the product range maintained its brand consistency and flavour cues across multiple packaging formats and marketing materials.
