Master of Creative Arts - final project - Graphic Design and New Media - 2008
This study reveals research relevant for the development of what has become the identity program of BOXACON. The research establishes that cultural institutions need branding to survive in a vast and competing world. BOXACON approaches this outcome aiming to invent a new way of thinking on brands and how they positively influence people. The creative and cultural industries have the potential to engage, involve and enthuse people and branding is a way of bringing people together.
