The Design

About Low Classic Brandidentitet

Book Text: Low Classic er en brandidentitet skabt til et uafhængigt modemærke. Identiteten er inspireret af modemagasiner fra 1980'erne. Der anvendes en dæmpet farvepalet og et layout, der bryder med gitteret. Typografien er overdrevet og kombineret med elegante kurver, og den udgør mærkets primære visuelle sprog. Både trykte og digitale materialer indgår, såsom plakater, grafik til sociale medier, e-mails og webbannere. De trykte materialer er produceret på genbrugspapir uden forurenende farvestoffer. Målet er at give et vintage-udtryk en raffineret digital form.
