Pam's Jams
Brand Identity
Pam’s Jams is located in Biars-Sur Cère, France, where the jams are made with local fruit. Pam is a sweet grandma who loves to make jam with her grandkids. Each flavour is inspired by one of these children to give the brand a playful and joyful presence. The brand is meant to make the audience feel like they are being cared for by Pam, with the tagline “Jammed with love,” and encourages them to remember their own childhood memories.
The Grants
Visual Identity and Photography
Lana Del Rey’s song “The Grants” speaks to a message that her pastor gave, telling her that the only thing she will take with her to heaven is her memories. In her song, she expresses the desire to take with her the memories of her family, the Grants. The imagery of this album cover comes from film photographs Timmermans took of her own home and family, a medium associated with history, remembering, and documenting. The two photographs are signifiers of family and heaven and, collaged together, create a surreal structure referencing the House of the Lord.
