August Pens
August Pens creates one-of-a-kind, hand-turned pens — objects made with genuine craft and care. They came to us for a brand that could do justice to that: bespoke, high-end, and grounded in the natural character of the materials.
The brand leads with a clean, elegant monogram-style logo in black and white — a deliberate choice that lets the products take centre stage. No colour noise, no distraction. The mark sets a tone of quiet confidence that carries through packaging, web, and advertising.
We were engaged to photograph both individual products and styled compositions for use in the online store and advertising. Getting product photography right for handcrafted objects is everything — the images need to communicate texture, quality, and craftsmanship in a way that makes someone want to hold the thing.
The August Pens online store was built to match the standard of the products it sells. Bespoke in design and consistent with the brand’s clean, monochrome aesthetic, the store keeps the focus exactly where it belongs — on the pens themselves. Simple, intuitive navigation removes any friction from the browsing experience, while the layout is structured to showcase the product photography at every turn. Each piece is one of a kind, and the store treats it that way.
A brand as carefully considered as the pens themselves.
