To conceptualise and create a unified branding system across motion, digital, and print for its three-day event at the MoMA.
We started with a seed of loose, colourful, painterly abstract art that inherited motion with a technique of style transfer. This technique pairs motion with a style, or texture, and is then run through a system to interpret the motion and the machine tries or retain the original texture through each clip. The loose and unpredictable nature of style transfer was reigned in with a grid system layout to formalise the typography and layouts, much in the same way distinctive styles of art are organised in a physical gallery space.
The Mill Design Studio created all the visual branding systems for the event at the MoMA, from digital to print, including the ticket to the event, banner ads, social posts, brochures and more. Brand Guidelines were established to be followed in order to keep a uniform feel throughout all pieces of work across the three shows, and the team thoughtfully selected specific design to lead the audience’s experience of the system from the theatre to the bar.
