We‘ve designed a set of internal newsletter headers for a veterinary lab INNO. Each issue was dedicated to a different subject cocerning the team or the company office.
It’s almost tradition now, that during the holidays people gather to develop something memorable in the season’s spirit. The project usually involves a little contribution from everybody, culminating in an object to be kept as a souvenir. And this year was no exception.
The team ended up developing a bestiary, in which the employees are depicted as beasts. The project combines graphic design, photography, illustration and copywriting. The team made a form and, based on each employee’s answers, along with his or her characteristics, chose a beast for each person. Through this interaction, everyone was involved in the project, even unknowingly—the concept of the project was kept secret till the very last moment.
Individual pictures were taken and the beasts were drawn on them. The copy was written as if the book were an expedition journal, kept by the company’s directors during an expedition around the globe: one of them writing the story, the other one drawing the beasts. These are displayed by seniority and distributed according to the year each person started at the company. Each chapter is named as year of expedition.
Designers, Developers & Managers alike made their own version of a Christmas gift. A version which involved brainstorming and unconstrained exercise of creativity.
The concept for U.Porto’s Holiday Sports Camp turns children’s activities into playful illustrations that breathe energy and enthusiasm. These illustrations draw inspiration from each of the event’s related symbols such as ice creams, for the Summer; stars for Christmas; and eggs for Easter.
The posters sets up the tone for future communication supports by using simplified silhouettes and themed motifs that can be used across all necessary materials.
Each poster uses a themed colour palette, which relates to its event thus creating a specific mood and recognition, without losing cohesiveness.
