Moniker uses paper to create tactile, abstract posters for Designer Fund

San Francisco-based design and branding studio, Moniker, was recently approached by Designer Fund, an investment group committed to design-led companies, to create a set of posters for their Bridge Speaker series.

It's a series that invites legends such as John Bielenberg, Wilson Miner and Julie Zhuo to speak on a range of topics from design leadership to future design trends.

To contrast the digital nature of the talks, the team used the tactility of paper and created abstract forms to convey key ideas from each lecture. We love the delicious use of paper and colour to make an impact that truly stands out.

Moniker has worked for the likes of Google, Android, Honda,m Coca-Cola and Microsoft. Based in San Francisco, they "believe in delivering timeless work for clients far and wide, big and small". Discover more at monikersf.com.
