The challenge

Each publication needed to retain its own character while still feeling part of one recognizable collection. The brand also had to translate naturally from tactile printed editions into a modern digital experience.

Approach

A precise grid, oversized typography, and a vivid cobalt blue accent create the foundation of the identity. Full-bleed photography, restrained layouts, and tactile paper details give Vellum a distinct visual rhythm without overpowering the work it publishes.

Key Decision

How much information should we ask for?

Expanded

More vehicle and contact preferences

Benefit: Richer lead information
Risk: Higher submission friction

Balanced

Core information needed to establish intent and contact

Benefit: Useful context with reduced effort
Risk: Less detail for dealer follow-up

Simplified

Minimum information necessary to begin the conversation

Benefit: Lowest barrier to submission
Risk: Less qualification upfront
