Today x GLU - Motion branding & product case

Converting 2D designs to 3D motion.

For over 10 years the good friends at Today branding agency have been shaking up the branding and design industry with amazing work. After helping out other brands with their identity, they decided it was time for a personal rebrand.

Today asked After It Moves to come up with new ways to add motion to still branding. Headers, displays and UI elements were brought to life and then translated to web-friendly edits.

Aside from branding elements, Today also asked After It Moves to recreate one of their cases - Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht (GLU) for the page header. Converting still 2D graphic design to 3D motion, adding depth and intensity.

‘Practicing with different materials, textures & lighting’

The biggest task was to recreate everything in 3D while respecting the brand guidelines. So the first thing we did was practice with different materials, textures and lighting. This way, we were able to see how far we could go.
