BRAND IDENTITY / LOGO DESIGN / PHOTOGRAPHY / WEB DESIGN
Short version: the best project of each year is the week of Dohnanyi Academy 🙂
But let’s see what this is, longer version:
The Dohnanyi Orchestra Budafok is one of the top European orchestras: once taking in youngsters, college students and career starting musicians, the ensemble has since become a high quality orchestra, combining musical and human values.
The biggest project of the Dohnany Academy, founded in 2016 under the leadership of the orchestra and its conductor, Gábor Hollerung, is the annual Masterclass for conductors. The course is attended by an average of 10 young conductors a year, who, after an eight-day intensive rehearsal week, give a concert with the orchestra in one of Budapest’s representative concert halls.
Oh, we miss these guys, see you soon!
As a huge advantage of the multifunctional agency, we are also photographers of the Dohnanyi Academy every year. This is the most interesting week of the year. We spent almost 6 hours a day with the conductors and the band, standing (sometimes sitting or balancing in strange poses a few inches from the instruments) among musicians, breathing with the music and laughing at the jokes. It is a very unique, extremely professional and amazingly loving family.
Golden Ball
GOLDEN BALL
Ball of the Golden Age
The Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok and the Classic Radio 92.1 organized the Golden Ball (“Aranybál”) in the Vigadó, Budapest for the first time in 2017, with the intention of creating an old-new tradition. The first ball was held in 1833 in the Vigadó, a traditional ball venue, which – as the only concert hall in Pest at the time – became the home of the highest level of culture, with a crowded ball program in the winter.
Our job was to design the overall brand identity of the Golden Ball.
The gold image derived from the name of the ball determines the overall appearance of the ball, the gold-silver-bronze design of the invitations refers to the different price categories. When creating the logo, our goal was to design traditional shapes in a modern way.
In addition to the graphic design, we also took part in the photography of the ball.
