Data-Orbit realizes a wide range of projects in the fields of culture, art and brand identity. We draw our inspiration from the assignment’s environment, delve into new topics and use this to develop design concepts tailored to the specific context. In doing so, we use the mutual interaction of static and moving media and create unique visual worlds with a holistic approach.

Visual identity

We create a visual approach to the core values of institutions, brands and companies. Progressive design is created in a collaborative partnership, behaves flexibly and continues to evolve.

Research and analysis

Branding, corporate identity

Poster, various promotional material

Web and app design

Storytelling

We examine content and design from the perspective of interaction, using the narrative potential of graphic design for new forms of content mediation.

Book design

Digital publication

Art direction

Context and production

We aim for a realization in which the idea also manifests itself in the details. Therefore, we often develop fonts or photographs specifically for a project. We work closely with artists, designers and producers and thus pursue a holistic approach to quality.

Urgent and Moving Editions

With the project «Urgent and Moving», Data-Orbit aims to develop solutions for editing and designing cultural publications in the digital space. Their work operates at the interface between the classic contextual book design and technical possibilities. This leads to coded books that operate multimedia-based, interlink content, and use interaction for a sensual experience.

Upcoming Publications:

Roy Bosier: roybosier.ch
La Luce Alpina: lalucealpina.ch
Walbaum: walbaum-archiv.ch
