The Project:

I chose to create a company called Petrichor that targets the older generations ranging from 50-70 looking to retire in the comfort provided by the outdoors. My company would be creating a retirement village in the Stromlo region for retirees looking for companionship, exercise, and the thrill of the outdoors. It is a face-to-face based communication system for Petrichor as people of the older generations would prefer to talk to people, not computers. In addition to this, the colours and imagery chosen for the brand compliment and reflect the colours of the outdoors. Natural greens and browns to show our customers how enthusiastic about nature we are and that we can bond over it. This includes the name as Petrichor is the word for the smell that comes before the rain; It is comforting, light and relaxing.
