A Decade of Design: studiokurbos' Corporate Book
Celebrating a decade of design accomplishments, we proudly present our extraordinary Corporate Book which was developed within a Bachelor’s thesis. Beyond showcasing design expertise, this book pays tribute to the remarkable individuals who contribute to the studio's achievements. From our establishment on May 1, 2013, to our present global presence in Stuttgart and Shanghai, our Corporate Book artfully encapsulates our journey while offering a glimpse into our future ambitions.
Top Ten Projects and Personal Insights
To fit the anniversary theme, the Corporate Book takes a stroll down memory lane, highlighting the company's top ten projects from the past years. Readers will also find sections about founder and CEO Andreas Kurbos as well as casual interviews with team members and insider jokes.
Academic Research and Visual Creation
Directing the creation of this book was an extensive academic pursuit - the Bachelor's thesis aimed at using the most effective design principles for communicating our brand identity through the visual language of a Corporate Book. The research delved into our core strengths, identifying growth areas that position us within the broader design landscape. We explored our Corporate Identity facets, encompassing Philosophy, Communication, Behavior, Culture, and Design, thus establishing a robust foundation for this project’s goal. These deep insights were transformed into a captivating visual story. The integration of elements like logo, font, color palette, images, and design grids harmonizes effortlessly, all carefully directed by the so-called “Double Diamond” methodology.
Analog Aesthetics: Infusing Neon Pink
With an analog approach, we weave our signature neon pink highlight shade and introduce handcrafted sprayed elements, infusing the layout with an intimate and personalized essence. Several sections in the book are sprayed with neon pink, just like the page edges, giving the book a pinkish glow. The result is a design that wholeheartedly embraces the lively pulse and intricate facets of our distinct identity, anchored in the vibrant hues of our neon pink corporate color.
