Behind the scenes


First, we studied the map.

Some mood frames to get people excited about the brand.

The presentation day to a variety of people from Sydney City Council, Chippendale Creative Precinct and others from art galleries, marketing and design firms.


The objective here was to design a brand for Beams, a five hour arts festival in the newest hipiest part of Chippendale. The team consisted of students, experts, a professor and an art director, working together as a part of UTS. Shtudio was not directly involved in the project, of the Shtudio’s designers’ was on the UTS team.
