PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For the development of the project the practice of "participatory planning" was used, this technique increases the interaction between the designer and the client, making sure to develop a project in a more linear way, sharing the various choices, informing and training the client on the rules and practices that have been followed by case history to better understand the decisions made by the designer.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: All corporate product supports meet ISO standards. The color palette was decided first through the Pantone system and then declined into sRGB for the web and CMYK for cases where printing was impossible via Pantone. The fonts used for the realization of the project are compatible both with printing and with web visualization. The pictogram and the set of variants of the logo are pixel perfect so as to be always recognizable and well distinguishable.
TAGS: art, investment, economy, financial, artist, artwork,
