One from the archives: visual identity and stationery for photographer Oskar Kullander, designed in 2011.
We designed this visual identity 15 years ago. The brand mark, doubling as a monogram and a stylized lens, was the result of a mistake in the design process. While moving a more static version of the mark, not all anchor points had been selected, so part of the shape stayed in place while the rest moved; giving it the elongated, perspectival look of a camera lens.
With more and more design work being prompted rather than made, we find ourselves wanting to embrace the process of making even more. Even the mistakes that don’t lead anywhere are sometimes worth making.
The stationery was printed by our friends at Göteborgstryckeriet, and the case study was made with photographer and artist Cora Hillebrand, who today runs the excellent Galleri Cora Hillebrand [Galleri Cora Hillebrand] in Gothenburg.
Around the same time, the project was featured, along with an interview, in Edition Seven of Thomas William’s [TW] wonderful Process Journal.
