The Seventh Circle of [Brand Design]

Daniela Meloni creates the designer’s interpretation of Dante’s The Divine Comedy, at once beautiful, thoughtful and funny.

Read The Branding Comedy

As God is placed in the centre of the Paradise, in the Branding Comedy is the Consumer to stay in the centre of the system and he represents something to be reached by the brands, which are the real protagonist of the book. The Branding Comedy is divided in three sections, like the original Comedy. In each circle are placed the brands, depending on their sins and virtues, their positive/negative values or simply their real position in the market. In fact, as Dante uses the ancient symbols and allegories to describe the medieval world, in the same way logos and brands represent the symbols of today, carrying loads of different values and characterizations.

Small Stakes Book

Attn: Gig poster enthusiasts: SMALL STAKES BOOK!

Known for clean design and lovely, gentle metaphor, The Small Stakes seems to be a favorite among most of the people I talk to about gigposter design. Bonus points for creating posters for some of my very favorite bands.
