8TH DAY CREATE :: 2025

ABOUT

I am the founder and creative director of 8TH DAY CREATE®, a brand development and creative direction studio specializing in brand architecture, vintage ephemera collages, AI design, and publication/editorial layout design.

Since 2004, I have been designing professionally, and in May 2014—after an intensive three-month study of United States Codes, the design of financial notes, and the discovery of Lawful Money remedy in 12 USC §411—I officially established 8TH DAY CREATE® as a creative studio. In 2025, we celebrate our 11th anniversary.

I co-create and architect brands with a focus on timelessness, longevity, and memorability. My background in the publication and fashion industries, combined with the practical application of golden ratio and sacred geometry principles, gives me a unique approach to crafting brands in ever-changing industries. In 2011, I was given the opportunity to design the branding, creative direction, and publication layout for Dope Magazine—a defining project that cemented our presence in the cannabis sector.

"Our branding and design creative solutions particularly in the Cannabis space has been seen, worn, and read all across the globe and expanding daily. In September 2018, Dope Magazine was acquired by High Times for 11.2 million dollars USD."

I hold a deep respect for sacred plants and their role in enhancing quality of life, and I strive to infuse refined design, elegance, and mindful practices into every endeavor. Turn Your Brand On™ and Keep 8th Day Create ® In Mind For Design ™.

BRANDON PALMA
Cosmic Engagement Officer / Designer

Living across the globe at a young age by being the son of a world traveling family impacted Brandon Palma for the rest of his life in so many beautiful ways. Drawing on this experience, he took all that inspired and interested him and compounded it into being an artist and collector, finding it fitting to live up to his name and to be of service to others through branding and design solutions.

Brandon attended and graduated The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising-Los Angeles (FIDM LA) in 2005 to refine his creative mind, and he has since used that knowledge to help brands across a variety of industries. He balances new ideas with old ones to give brands a new identity that stands out among their competitors. Launching 8TH DAY CREATE ® was the realization of his dream to offer innovative solutions for the brave world we live in today.
