Blackthorn Music
Blackthorn Music is a newly established recording and production studio located in Waterford, Ireland.
I was responsible for creating their entire brand identity and designing their website. The client’s primary need was flexibility — so the site was built on WordPress, enabling them to update and manage content themselves with ease.
- Full brand identity: logo, color palette, typography, and tone of voice.
- WordPress site for easy client content control.
- Responsive design optimized for musicians and producers.
Design & Branding
The branding for Blackthorn Music blends a modern, minimalist aesthetic with a grounded, organic tone — drawing inspiration from the raw, creative energy of the Irish music scene. The logo subtly references the blackthorn plant, with sharp lines and soft curves representing both clarity and creativity.
The WordPress site features an elegant dark theme with high contrast typography, designed for maximum readability and impact. Animations and transitions were kept light and purposeful to support a smooth user experience across devices.
Website
The website provides an intuitive interface for browsing studio services, gear lists, and booking info. Its structure was designed to scale with future needs like blog posts, event announcements, or e-commerce integration.
