Developing every design project with conceptual thinking as a starting point is how it’s done at Argentine studio The Negra, and it is likely to be the reason behind their success so far. Specialized in branding and brand identity, in five years, this “visual factory” has been collecting a portfolio of major brands such as MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, as well as major national media companies like La Nación.
In this course, The Negra teaches you how to develop a conceptual identity system, going through the base of a project, starting from the initial phase to completion. Design a strong identity, exploring its reach and its limits. Learn how to communicate it, going a step ahead of traditional methods.
