mustard / LARCH & LANTERN STUDY
AN MMS SAMPLE BRAND. A REAL AGENT MISSION.

One label.
A whole brand
world from it.

We invented Larch & Lantern, a small-batch candle maker, to show the whole method. The label became the point of view. The website carried it forward. Then a client agent crew made the matching campaign, and this page shows its receipt.

A lit Larch & Lantern candle in amber glass, its cream label printed with golden larches, on weathered wood against a deep green wall.
01 / THE PACKAGINGThe flat Larch & Lantern candle label: a linocut of golden larches, a glowing lantern and mountains at dusk above the wordmark and a gold scent band.
The linocut, the larches, the lantern.
02 / THE FINISHED WEBSITE CONCEPTThe Larch & Lantern website concept: the linocut fills the screen and a cream label panel carries the wordmark and the three scent colors.
A digital expression built around what was already on the label.
03 / GIVE THE CLIENT THEIR OWN CREW

The website is one asset.
The capability stays with them.

The client gets a company workspace with its own knowledge, deliverables, and agent Missions. Give the crew an outcome or set the details yourself. The result arrives with source files, review, and a record of what happened.

Mr. Mustard

Chief brief written for the Larch & Lantern campaign kit. It fixes the two-file deliverable, supplied brand facts only, size caps, working-button behavior, truthful copy-failure reporting, responsive photo/text separation, and a checklist for the maker and reviewer. Missing inputs are flagged so nothing is invented.

02 / COMPLETE

Creative director

Design and copy specification for the Larch & Lantern launch kit (MMS sample brand). Covers palette, type, linocut SVG motif, layout rules, three social cards, button behavior, and final captions and email copy. Placeholder sign-off and ordering lines are used so nothing is invented. Browser and clipboard checks are still required after build.

03 / COMPLETE

Campaign maker

Delivered the two final files: a responsive campaign presentation with three scent social cards (switcher, caption copy), a wholesale email panel with copy button, inline SVG linocut art, and a plain text copy file. Captions and email match across both files. Size caps were kept by design; runtime counts, browser rendering and clipboard behavior still need checking.

04 / COMPLETE

Quality reviewer

Reviewed the HTML and txt against the brief. Palette, linocut SVG, three band-colored cards, working tab switching, copy buttons with truthful failure messages, MMS label, stacked mobile layout and no invented facts all check out in source. Captions and email match. One concrete defect: the card's wording does not carry the specified caption text visibly as the card, which is acceptable, but the email in the txt omits nothing. The defect is the narrow-phone card min-height with aspect-ratio reset, which is fine; the only real defect found is the unescaped bare ampersands in HTML text and the root-relative photo path. Browser, clipboard and character-count checks are still required.
