Title design for the movie production company in Berlin,
http://www.dogearfilms.com
Realized at KMS TEAM Munich, 2009.
The film presents KMS TEAM‘s interpretation of brands,
which forms the basis for the integrated method of „depth design“.
The film explains a relatively complex theme - the semiotic
and pragmatic structure of brands - in a playful manner, and giving also an
impression of the creative potential of the design bureau.
It consists solely of animated graphics developed from the basic element of
KMS TEAM‘s own corporate design: a black bar with lettering.
In this way we focus on the abstract nature of the films content,
at the same time showing that reduction does not have to be boring.

often appears in public space with all the visual informations.

The video shows the conceptual design of an integrated image
for various media. The central design element is a black bar that assumes various
forms and functions. It embodies the “guiding philosophy”
and leads the viewer on a multifaceted journey through the KMS TEAM world.
From the initial inspiration to various applications,
the idea bar acts as a navigator through the digital world.
This visual element presents surprising applications options and
represents the powerful constant of the design.
