stage 01 — the method
Graphic Design Studio in Silver Lake, Los Angeles
Identity, packaging, publications, and everything else with your name on it.
The constraint we start from is not what a piece looks like in a portfolio. It is what it looks like on a shelf, at thumbnail size, after somebody who is not a designer has applied it for the fortieth time.
Design that only works when we do it is not finished design.
what this covers
- Identity and brand systems
- Packaging and labelling
- Publications, books and catalogues
- Album and sleeve design
- Menus, collateral and signage
questions
- Do you work from an existing brand or start fresh?
- Either. Stage 00 is where we establish which of the two the project actually needs.
- Will I be able to apply this myself afterwards?
- That is usually the goal. Where work will be applied by other people, we build a system of rules rather than a set of files.
- Who will I actually be talking to?
- The people doing the work. There is nobody in between.
