Challenge
The main challenge lay in designing a graphic that accurately yet abstractly depicted lipids. The design needed to be visually compelling and maintain scientific integrity, ensuring a seamless integration across the glass surfaces of the division’s entrance.
What we did
- Conducted thorough research to ensure a scientifically accurate depiction of lipids, aligning the design closely with lipidology’s complex nature.
- Created a design that abstractly represents the globular nature of lipids, using flowing forms and shapes to evoke the dynamic and fluid characteristics of these molecules.
- Developed a cohesive design that spans across the glass side panel and door, enhancing the division’s visibility and identity.
- Oversaw the production process to ensure the window graphics were produced with high precision and quality, matching the design’s requirements for clarity and durability.
