“Brothers as much as colleagues”

Andrea and Dennis. We have known each other since we were born, and together we opened AD Studio.

Visual identity and creative direction

I design marks and decide how every project in the studio looks, from the business card to the website. A mark has to hold up everywhere, so as well as drawing it I write the rules for using it. When a job goes to print, I check the proof with the printer myself, before the run.

  1. Marks and brand identity
  2. Typefaces and colour
  3. Brand manuals
  4. Print, from the file to the run
Meet Andrea
Dennis at his desk, in profile, one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse. On the large screen is the opening page of this site, on the laptop beside it some lines of code.

Websites and development

I am the technical half of the studio: the websites we design, I build myself, to measure, without starting from a ready-made template. I check yours carefully on a phone and on a computer, and I hand it over with the text already in place. Once it is live, for anything about the site, you call me.

  1. Bespoke development
  2. Animation and interaction
  3. Speed and accessibility
  4. Going live and upkeep
Meet Dennis

Our own mark, and how it is measured.

The studio’s first project. It reads at small sizes, works in a single colour, and is defined by measurements rather than by a file.

The two business cards: the light front with the monogram, the dark back with the contact details

Where we are

Viadana (MN)

Via Garibaldi 25, 46019 Viadana (MN)

Areas we cover

Viadana · Mantova · Cremona · Parma · Reggio Emilia

In person we cover this area. Further away we work online, and for a brand or a website that changes nothing. If meeting is worth it, we will look at travelling.

Let’s talk about the project.

Half an hour, at the studio or on a video call. You leave with a direction, a timeline and a figure.
