Markus Moström Design: Hi res Images

It’s been a while since I last featured some good quality Scandinavian design, in particular – the work of a smaller, lesser-known studio, so it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the work of Markus Moström Design, a Stockholm based design studio working internationally since 1997 pumping out some great pieces of print. Clients include large and small corporations, cultural institutions, stores, manufacturers and artists. Markus Moström Design is specialized in visual and corporate identities and has also completed a broad range of graphic work for various categories of clients during the past twelve years.

Thank you once again to Markus for the images.

    @Luke They do make for a beguiling first impression ;)

    A bit boring, no?

    @Tim It depends on what you define as ‘boring’ ;) I can say that this isn’t the first time I’ve featured simple, typographic solutions on this website.

    I think the Markus Moström business cards, produced using these treatments would be definitely more so suited to a bank or jewelers. Presented in this fashion, the gold mirri triplexing (I’m speculating here) really pays off – but only when the cards are stacked. Typically they’d be loose in someone’s drawer or wallet, which I think would make it somewhat tricky to sell into a client as a concept.

    It looks more like edge gilding to me ;)
    Nonetheless, you’re quite right: the cards do look their best when stacked.
    Similar story here (regarding the finish):

    I do however, think this particular treatment is just as suitable for designers/craftsmen as it is for a bank or jewelers – as you saw from the MadeThought example, gold can also be a metaphor for quality. It’s just a matter of being able to pull it off ;)

    I agree with you wholeheartedly, on that point David. I think simple typography for an identity is the way to go as logo’s date and go out of fashion. Making a simple, subtle conceptual impression is what it’s all about, especially in a card. Yeah, gold and bankers is the first thought one might have Grez, but that would be way obvious and expected anyway. It’s far more impressive and unexpected as a carefully considered finish for a designer’s card. Well done Markus on the subtle, bold idea.
