Kickbrand

A related venture by the people behind Blankout. This case examines the implemented visual and editorial system; it is not an outside-client testimonial.

A strategic idea made physical: an image language built around gaps, material and alignment.

Make the gap visible.

Kickbrand works on the distance between a brand’s promise and the experience people actually have.

Its visual world makes that distance tangible. Mineral planes, controlled seams and alignment carry the idea without turning each image into a literal diagram. Teal and blush provide the family resemblance; the composition changes with the placement.

The rules behind the images.

Material has weight

The mineral surfaces establish a physical world. Light and texture make the distance between forms feel deliberate.

A relationship is visible

A gap, seam or alignment gives each image an idea. The objects do not exist merely to fill a background.

The family has range

Service and editorial images use different arrangements and crops while retaining the same premise. A homepage image is the beginning of the language, not its entire vocabulary.
