The Context

In the frame of a Photography event and exhibition attended by professionals of the industry, Christina Karagiannis wanted to be able to offer the visitors stopping-by at her stand something that would be representative of herself and her work, and that wouldn't land in the bin -as usually, since all material collected from the various stands in an exhibition, does land in the bin before the visitor even exits the building. She wished that "something" to be something small, that people would find an interest and a utility in keeping. Something which at the same time, would convey the visitors the message of what she is presently doing the most: that is to say Gastronomy photography, Wedding photography and Travel photography.

Challenges & Objectives

Use paper to create the desired application, whilst at the same time avoiding the clichés of posters, booklets or brochures which never reach the home of the person who attended the show/exhibition etc. For that, we needed a small-sized application, to allow people to be able to store it easily in a handbag, notebook or even in a book -used as a bookmark even.

The Solution

This is how we came up with the idea of designing her a double-sided personalised postcard. The same postcard comes with two different "back" sides, in order to illustrate Christina's work more eloquently using a minimum of space.

The Context

Christina Karagiannis is a Vienna based photographer with an international career and clientele. She needed a minimal logo to represent her minimal personality. That would at the same time, be easily adaptable so as to become her pictures' watermark, without looking like a usual, stereotyped watermark. Something both elegant and eloquent.

Challenges & Objectives

Create something original that wouldn't look like a common watermark. Something that wouldn't remind all the stereotypes about photography -using the camera's objective or a raw camera. After managing doing that, we also had to create the watermarks per se, and the photographer's e-signature and other applications in order for her to be able to personalise all of her social media accounts, since she is an avid user of those.

The Solution

Christina Karagiannis' new logo is an elegant solution, which "plays" with both the initial "C" of her name and the camera's shutter. It stands very well alone, in white or black, and allows a flexible use as a watermark on the photographer's pictures.
