Umbrella by Snask

February 21, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in 2019, Advertising, Branding, Sweden, Typography

Snask Studio comes back with a new branding case made for consulting bureau Umbrella. Female founded and powered by two rising stars, Umbrella is rocking the consultant industry.

“We started out by visualizing the vision of the brand by choosing a strong and beautiful color scheme using a pale pink and a candy red along with off-white. We also chose a bold and strong display typeface to communicate strong messages and tag lines. With statements like “When we shine we shine together” and “Come play with us” the step to take the identity out into reality wasn’t far, but we also decided to do some 3D-animations to further elevate the brand. Whether you’re a developer, UX/UI-designer, QA, Product Owner or just share their values, get in touch with them and see how you can find ways of working together.”

IMAT

February 13, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in Advertising, Digital Art, 2019, Canada, Motioncollector, Portfolios, Russia

A collaborative work lead by art director Vitaly Grossmann together with Superdesigners from Moscow, CG artist Moritz Schwin, Vincent Schwenk and music producer Jürgen Branz, made for trade show in Germany IMAT-uve

“Imat-uve approached us to create a playful material world for a trade show in Germany. Imat’s design department is not only in charge for creating and designing textures, it’s also scanning it for a broader purpose in-house. As we love to work with textures and always challenge us to find the right balance between reality and abstraction, we were more than happy to develop shapes, spaces and colours where the textures become alive. Nearly every texture was scanned and provided by Imat’s design department.”

Pause Fest 2019 - A New Hope

February 05, 2019 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Advertising, Digital Art, Motioncollector, Russia, Australia, Events, 2019

A collaboration between Russian post-production studio LOOP and number of talented artists resulted as a motion reel for the Pause Fest 2019 starting this days in Melbourne.

’A New Hope' is a challenging metaphor for everyone affected by the tech age that still considers some developments today as normal in our culture, traditions and society. We are not programmed well enough to foresee what the exponential technology can do to our society. How much are we going to pay for all bad decisions that we are making today? ‘A New Hope’ digs deep into our worst nightmares and what could happen if we loose control over those exponential tech advances. This video depicts how popularity mixed with power can easily transform our society into unpleasant and dangerous place. We have a high hope that our collective consciousness will drive us to a much brighter, safer, happier, inclusive and prosperous place.
