Serene: Peaceful and soothing, with soft, earthy tones to evoke a calm and welcoming atmosphere.
Brand Colors:
Our color palette reflects the natural world and embodies an earthy, grounded feeling. These colors should be present in all visual materials (reels, posts, photos, etc.).
Copper: Warm and rustic, copper symbolizes our deep connection to nature and evokes a feeling of home.
Earth Tones: Use muted browns, tans, and soft greys for backgrounds, props, and accents to maintain a warm, organic vibe.
Stokeshire Blue: A calming, deep blue that reflects our dedication to professionalism and trust.
Plain Green: Earthy green tones should dominate natural elements, such as plants, grass, and outdoor scenes, to bring a fresh, peaceful vibe.
Visual Guidelines for Reels & Short Videos
Clutter-Free Space:
Every reel should be clean and uncluttered. Keep the focus on the puppies or the scene being filmed.
Avoid busy or overwhelming backgroundsβensure they are simple and in line with our boho/nature-inspired aesthetic.
Natural Light & Settings:
Use soft, natural lighting for an authentic, peaceful look. Avoid harsh lighting or artificial backdrops that can detract from the natural feel.
Outdoor shots should highlight lush greenery, open fields, or earthy textures (wood, stone, etc.). Indoor shots should take place in spaces that reflect minimalism and boho vibes.

Use props that are natural and neutral in toneβwicker baskets, wooden crates, plants, etc. Avoid brightly colored or plastic items.
Indoor backgrounds should be clean with soft earth tones, avoiding busy patterns or cluttered shelves.
Puppy Focus:
Puppies are the stars! The focus should always remain on their natural, playful, or relaxed behavior. Avoid excessive distractions or too many elements that could draw attention away from them.
Consistency:
Maintain a consistent style in every video. The look and feel of the reels should align with the same peaceful, nature-inspired tone that represents the Stokeshire Designer Doodles brand.
Boho Studio Look:
If filmed indoors, the studio setting should reflect soft fabrics, neutral rugs, and light wood tones to keep the boho-chic style.
Incorporate natural elements like macrame, plants, and wooden furniture to create a relaxed, earthy atmosphere.
