A small creative bureau merging branding, graphics, photography, image editing, artwork, strategy, concept and technology. Content otimised for both screen and print.
Practised wholistic design with pixel accurate visuals since 2003 based on aesthetics, function, structure, clarity and mnmlsm.
Working with startups, icons, artists and small medium businesses, whose ambition is to make a positive difference and stand out from the “copy paste stock image, just have something quick, don’t care how it looks” phenomenon.
IDEA
In a world with an overload of fragmented information, cheap market tricks and misleading products, the true challenge is not to add more poor quantity and unnecessary complexity. But rather to create relevant and authentic value through clarity, aesthetics and functional simplicity.
Sometimes solutions can become a bit too much creative, too much only function focused, too messy or fragmented. Key is balancing the creative part with the function part, eliminating mess and unnecessary information, while emphasising a unified and appealing fundament.
WHAT
Creative solutions are more than just about adding graphics to a website.
Things like customized visuals, concept development, imagery and editing, brand development, information hierarchy and structure etc. And to integrate and optimize content for both screen and print.
The less noticeable parts of design is the wholistic way of thinking, content integration, discover or advance a business niche, turning information into communication, file optimization, folder organization, file naming, color profiles, give life to ideas, provide clarity and appeal, getting rid of unnecessary content, make something stand out…and yes it’s also about making it look good.
Examples are startup consulting and coaching, logo and brand design, icons and graphics for web or app, indoor decoration, image editing, file types and optimization, menu, business card, naming and domain name, qr code, labels, overall design thinking, edit batches of files, and more.
In short, adding wholistic value and clarity without loosing attention to details.
PRODUCTION
All visuals are custom made by Darner unless there is a collaboration. Every pixel is thoughtfully considered. The content is mostly universal and can easily be adapted, scaled and adjusted for most kinds of media and sizes both screen and print.
A process is normally about starting from scratch, simplifying and getting rid of stff rather than adding stufffffffff.
