My role

Character development,

Planning and advocacy,

Research, Colour palette,

Ideation & Renders,

Documentation

One year into working in the digital design team of Axis Bank (ADL), I took on the initiative to change how we present ourselves in our digital journeys. To be more

Open, Empathetic, Warm and Positive.

How might we

bring life into our experience?

communicate concepts better?

be more visually consistent?

This is what we came up with!

Scalable Construction

Everything in Accord can be broken down to basic shapes. Anchor points can be added/ modified/ as needed but are never left sharp.

Brand recall

We introduced the slant in the Axis Bank logo and pathway that stands for progress into the compositions-

Colours

With Burgundy being the most iconic element of the brand, we developed a colour palette that celebrates it.

Light and shadow

Accord has strong play of light and shadow- It adds life and depth to the art. Pinks are used very carefully to achieve this.
