BEYOND
For the Interactive Media Design Day event of the Design School St. Gallen (GBS), I developed the identity under the motto «Beyond». At this annual event, internationally renowned personalities from the design industry are invited to give lectures and lead workshops. When designing the branding, my main focus was on maximizing the reduction of design elements. I kept asking myself how far I could push the concept so that the core idea would stand out clearly. The resulting branding is just a simple, linear black and white gradient within a square, giving the impression of a space that extends into infinity... and maybe even beyond.
