Explore — an interdisciplinary studio for visual communication. It investigates challenges, works with meaning, and creates cohesive visual solutions—from branding to digital media. Beyond client projects, the studio fosters an environment for emerging professionals: sharing processes, publishing valuable resources, and creating opportunities for industry connection.
The Problem
Small initiatives and startups require a visual language, but it can be difficult for them to find a studio willing to work on a project in its early stages. In turn, emerging designers often see polished final results in portfolios but rarely gain access to discussions about design decisions, knowledge exchange, or professional networking.The Solution
Explore unites studio practice with an open community. The studio assists young projects with their identity design and digital communications, transparently showing the design process, and fosters a channel featuring case studies, educational materials, and event announcements. Participants can propose topics, share their experiences, and support one another.
Target Audience
Explore Clients — young brands, startups, and cultural and educational projects that require identity design and digital communications. They need to understand the studio’s specialization, see examples of work, and learn how to start a project.Professional Audience — emerging designers and specialists from related fields. They are interested in workflows, practice materials, events, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers.
What will be implemented
Identity: logo, typography, color, grid system, graphic principles, guidelines for imagery; application across studio presentations, case study covers, and announcements.Portfolio Website: structure and design for desktop and mobile devices; homepage, project listing, case study page, studio information page, and contacts.Community Channel: channel styling and publication system for three categories—work and process, events, and useful materials. Separate formats for audience engagement: submitting work for critique or proposing a topic.
Explore creates visual systems and transparently demonstrates how they originate. On the website, the client sees not only the final visuals but also the brief, the process, and the rationale behind the chosen solutions. In the channel, this conversation continues through publications, materials, and the involvement of other specialists.
