Biodesign: From Inspiration to Integration was an exhibition of works of contemporary art and design that help us to reform our relationship with nature, moving it from a destructive to a more integrated, mutually beneficial model.

The exhibition marked the release of the 2018 edition of the book Biodesign: Nature + Science + Creativity, by William Myers, published by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and celebrated the RISD Nature Lab's 80th anniversary.

Gyrator and Lack were chosen to reflect the organic and technical aspects of the works in the exhibition, respectively. And their placement in the identity represents the conversation between the two realms throughout the exhibition. The poster additionally uses Reader.

Lead curator: William Myers
Co-curators: Lucia Monge and David Kim
Curatorial assistants: Julia van den Hout and Peter Rogers

The art of sculptor Florian Ecker is the result of an exploratory curiousness, in which he examines natural phenomena with scrupulous precision and the experimental set-ups of a scientist.

His artworks do not represent this explorative movement but its result, once Ecker feels it as being finished. Thereby the traces of its experimental undergoings are of varying recognizability. However, they belong to the artwork no less than the visual impression we get.

The book structures Florian Ecker‘s work in the form of a scientific journal into research, experimentation and results, and is thereby reflecting the creative process of the artist.

Rooted in editorial design and journalism, my work centers around visual storytelling. My artist books are driven by an intensive personal dialogue between artist and designer, verbally and creatively. Having had the great pleasure to have been invited into the archives and production of the artists, I help translate the artworks, mindset and process into a book object.

Brandpad is a service where designers can share, control and modify styles guides and assets with their clients. In September 2019, for their typography showcase month, Brandpad replaced the usual typeface on their website, Graphik by Commercial Type, with a different typeface every week. The idea was to illustrate how changing only its font can affect a visual identity and the feelings that it conveys.

During the first week of September, Brandpad’s website was therefore entirely typeset in Gangster Grotesk, a typeface in three weights that is free for both personal and commercial use. The subsequent weeks, the website was temporarily typeset in Styrene, then in Reader and lastly, in Favorit.

Although it is now back to normal, you can still appreciate the impact that changing its font had on the website's look and feel.

Inspired by moiré effects and the wings of Azor, we created the art of this EP and extended the design to matching artwork, posters, banners and social media content.
