RAAD — Branding

Project
Branding - visual universe, Graphic Design - stationary and poster, Webdesign - website (design and development).

Concept
RAAD is an Architeture and Interior Design studio. In order to create a visual universe which reflects this duality Pacifica explored a hexagonal shape. This shape fills the space in a natural and perfect way. Example of this are hexagonal basaltic columns formed of cooled lava from ancient volcanic activity in an island in Ireland.

Identity

The central idea to identity came from the concept of filling in the hexagonal shape.
We start from the outside to the inside like Raad work from architecture to design.

Visual Thinking
As an architecture project, we planned the exterior design and then we structured and fill the geometric shape. We developed the visual universe to the brand by using seven different stamps applied to the stationary.

Stationary
All the stationary are made entirely with a combination of these stamps. This process emphasizes the personal touch and binding in all projects.
In addition we also developed a series of hand made posters.

Website
The website is designed based on a logic of vertical parallax. All the areas are accessed sequentially (via scroll) and directly (via menu).

The whole concept of identity, graphic and digital communication emphasizes the link between the different levels of content, creating a fluid and consistent language.

The Redbull Music Academy (RBMA) represents the strength of the culture of original music and returned in 2011 to Porto, after in 2009 and 2010 have been at Lx Factory in Lisbon.

Brief

Develop the image and communication for the entire RBMA Porto Hub event, exploring the tailor-made natural principle in all the identified communication actions. “O Conspirador” - The Conspirator - compiles all the information of the event, introducing further information and pictures of the city

The concept

The starting point was a universe of ownership and traditional elements present in the industrial culture of downtown, contextualized in the use of two themes: Typographic and Fabric Warehouse. On this basis we shape (literally) the image and creative principle of the whole event re-inventing a contemporary language based on a traditional approach.

The process

We explored the fabrics not only as subject but as part of physical and usable objects, twisting and writing elements and materials in the pieces of communication, as laces,
fabrics and screen printing.

The re-interpretation of these elements reinforced the creative character of the factors taken into disuse and outdated.

bildi grafiks

2011 Lumens was an art project that presented a series of light-based works distributed along a route in an urban setting. The event was organised within the framework of the Decennial Festival of the Virgin of Candelaria, which is held in the Catalan town of Valls. It featured works by Bill Viola, Ann Veronica Janssens, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Soledad Sevilla, James Turrell, Xavier Veilhan, Ignasi Aballí, Iván Navarro, Ester Partegàs and Frederic Perers.

The catalogue – designed in line with the graphic identity defined to sign the route leading to the works – is the crowning glory of the event. The aim was to convey a sense of the transitory nature of 2011 Lumens and its industrial (i.e. not very elegant), haphazard character. The catalogue is divided into five parts: introductions and background information on 2011 Lumens; a text by the curator; a section on the light works, which offers a visual overview of the route from start to finish; biographical notes on the participating artists; and a section that focuses on the opening event.

Throughout the catalogue, different types of paper are combined to optimise the grammage and the inks used. The paper used for the cover was chosen to create a rough edge on the fold, which contrasts with the bright fluorescent colour used inside. Again, the idea is to give a sense of the haphazard, transitory character of the event.

Vinyl cover with analog light animation

This is an album cover for the modern classical composer Allan Gravgaard Madsen. My idea was to translate Allan’s sensuous music to a visual experience with a element of senuality.
The album is separetet on the records two sides. There isn’t any A or B side, each contains a piece of Allan’s work Waves and Crystal Tapastry. Each has its own front page; Waves is a visualisation of the music performed by nine trompets in a line. I made it as simpel as posible with nine circels on a line. Crystal Tapestry is a pattern of crystals that has no front or back end, it refers to a crystal that merge into it self. Inside I made a visualisation that combines the two sides, a crystalized wave. On the record i made patterns that gives the design a visual sensuality. I made an analog animation with a 50 Hz strobe lamp and got it to interact with the music.

FINDING THE RIGHT MOMENT
Bachelorarbeit - Annabell Ritschel
Deferring intentions, tasks, and duties seems to have become a widespread, or even a mass phenomenon, which is referred to as “procrastination” with increasing frequency.

On a total of 160 pages, the work “Finding the right moment” exhaustively deals with the behavioural pattern
of procrastination and examines typical conduct, different causes and potential consequences. Among other issues, investigation includes the question of whether procrastination is always a vicious symptom that - according to numerous guide books - has to be treated and cured, or whether the postponement of tasks and projects may as well have beneficial effects …
