Twice a year they hold a conference inviting the world’s leading design firms to speak about their practice and how Monograph supports their work. This conference is known as Section Cut, a term used in architeture to look at something from the inside. The Section Cut identity uses the visual language of a poché to communicate this cross section diagram.

My goal for Xeelas was develop and create visuals targeting their potential clients while communicating what Xeelas IoT can offer. The solution was implimented through art direction based on Charles and Ray Eames’ monumental work, Powers of Ten. The results lead to creating short drone films and images based on three visual scales: Cosmic View, Human Scale, and Microscopic. Upon completion of the drone imagery capture, it became clear that the new materials would be better served by re-examining the identity design. The website and identity is a sketch proposal. — Creative Direction — Art Direction— UX Design— Identity&nbsp;— Drone Operation— Research— Photography — Project Management&nbsp;— Web Design— English/Dutch https://meghanforsyth.com/Open-Studio-2020 Sat, 18 Jul 2020 06:59:43 +0000 Meghan Forsyth https://meghanforsyth.com/Open-Studio-2020 OPEN STUDIO 2020 ANIMATION AND PRINT 2020&nbsp; <img width="2016" height="2428" width_o="2016" height_o="2428" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a828a533ce8ea0f60081de569196d757c0414708fe9667d47cfa2d0e72771d7e/OPEN_STUDIO_SCAN_Compile.png" data-mid="78706882" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a828a533ce8ea0f60081de569196d757c0414708fe9667d47cfa2d0e72771d7e/OPEN_STUDIO_SCAN_Compile.png" /> Printed promotional materials and digital animations for the Open Studio 2020 held at Spijkerstraat 47 Ateliers.
