A collection of isometric illustrations that shows the different aspects of the work in a today's design studio (Studio XO). These aspects include Research & Strategy, Resourcing, Communication, Engineering & Innovation, Finance and Design. The project is a personal initiative and part of my yearly exploratory projects.

The idea is trying to illustrate the busyness of the daily work in a design studio or an agency. The colours were chosen to reflect that busyness while the wild composition of all the elements shows how quickly the design processes have been evolved during the past decade in the design world.

Adobe Illustrator is the main tool that has been used in all the phases. The project started as a concept then moved to a design phase. The design phase included building compositions and colouring then layouting and working on the project logo.

The project has got good feedback so far from the design community. The positive feedback was mainly on colours, art direction and the concept respectively. I wanted to test something a bit different in terms of art direction from what I've been focusing on lately with all the typography projects. And I am glad that the feedback was positive.
