Other Means works with institutions, organizations, and brands who present, support, and contribute to contemporary culture. We design dynamic typographic identities and brand strategies that thrive in digital environments, and make books, exhibitions, signage systems, and websites that emerge from a deep engagement with our clients’ missions and histories.
We are not interested in neutral systems that transfer information. We play with words to shape meaning, challenge established traditions, and investigate popular visual culture to design new visual languages that comment on our present moment.
Over the last decade, the studio has launched new institutions, reintroduced legacy organizations, and worked one-on-one with directors, artists, and in-house teams. We collaborate closely, and stay involved long after roll-out, ensuring that the work we produce outlasts the moment in which it was conceived.
