Choosing the best solution. This is the culmination of many steps of hard work. If we do our jobs right, we can often be the pivotal voice in this step, helping argue for the best overall solution —we can visualize the case, see different sides of the problem, and lay out a path for making a commitment to a given solution.

STEP BACKGROUND
It was at this phase that the client and the design team began to test the usability of the new brand identity. Working closely, the assembled teams were able to meet Steinberg’s original project goals and give her more than she had ever imagined.

STEP OUTCOME
The I-Ching concept generated the expansion of a style-applied solution. This opened up limitless possibilities for patterns and textures created by repeating and composing this imagery. These images were such an inspiration to Steinberg and her product designers, they decided to use them as decorative graphics on new products. A new stationery system was also created using the new system.

At this point, additional graphic design services were needed for other Via Motif product lines. Line Lights are traditional Christmas string-lights with beautiful themed “shades” over each light. Via Motif produces over 20 varieties. VDO designed a new logo and product packaging concepts for two different sizes.
