The challenge

A collective of twelve photographers needed one identity that could hold twelve voices — and a site that could grow with every new show.

The approach

We designed an identity that changes with its content: a frame system that adapts to any image, a typeface that carries attribution without competing, and a CMS-driven archive that members update themselves.

The outcome

An identity the collective owns and extends, and a site that has hosted four exhibitions without a single ticket to us.

They gave us a system, not a poster. Two years on, it still feels like ours.
