About Low Classic Merkidentiteit

Low Classic is in merkidentiteit dy't makke is foar in ûnôfhinklik modelabel. De identiteit is ynspirearre troch modetydskriften út de jierren '80. Der wurdt gebrûk makke fan in ingetogen kleurepalet en in lay-out dy't it grid trochbrekt. De typografy is oerdreaun en kombinearre mei elegante kromten, en foarmet de wichtichste fisuele taal fan it merk. Sawol printe as digitale materialen binne opnommen, lykas posters, social media-grafiken, e-mails en webbanners. De printe materialen wurde produsearre op resykle papier sûnder fersmoarjende ferve. It doel is om in vintage útstrieling in ferfyne digitale foarm te jaan.
