Extensive planning
A four phase process began. Phase one began with a physical workspace assessment a.k.a recce to ascertain the possible branding area. This involved identifying specific rooms, passageways, spaces, walls and other areas for branding and sizing them.
Phase two commenced by collaborating with the Covance team to collate or create key messages to communicate. These messages or content themes act as high-level buckets of topics that align with the company’s goals wiz.
A visual design theme that invigorates
In phase three we explored different visual design themes.
Keeping in mind the young 20-30 years employee demographic, we created different visual art styles which were impactful, young, energetic and demanded attention.
Once we zeroed in on the messages and theme, we created mock-ups of the spaces using photographs of the branding spaces identified during the initial recce. This allowed for a glimpse of how the design would appear.
Attention to every detail
Phase four was the execution involving the printing, production and installation of the designs in the office space.
Over a span of two months, Velocita delivered 78 wall design creatives covering 2.4 lakh sq.ft. of branding area. Apart from the standard vinyl pasting of wall graphics, glass graphics and glass graphics with one way vision also implemented.
Speaking the business language
Our messaging and design for the client floor revolved around the core area of work for Covance. i.e. pharmaceutical and biotechnology – this would give an immediate co-relation of the value that they provide to their clients.
