“Brothers as much as colleagues”

We are Andrea and Dennis. We have known each other since birth and we are like brothers. We studied together, and we decided to give life to a project of our own: AD Studio.

The people

Andrea at the studio table, in a white shirt in front of the laptop, hand on his chin as he looks at the screen. Behind him, a wall of wooden slats.

Visual identity and creative direction

I work on marks, typefaces and colour, and on the rules that keep them in order over time. I handle the artwork and I am the one who talks to the printer.

  • Marks and identity systems
  • Typefaces and composition
  • Brand manuals
  • Artwork and print
Il profilo di 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 write the code for the sites we design at the studio. Speed and legibility go in while I am building it. The text you then update yourselves, from a panel.

  • Bespoke development
  • Animation and interaction
  • Performance and accessibility
  • Going live and upkeep
Il profilo di Dennis

Our own mark, and how it is measured.

The studio’s mark was our first project, and it answers to the same conditions we ask of a client’s mark: legible at small sizes, reproducible in a single colour, and defined by rules rather than by one file.

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 together, at the studio or on a video call. You tell us where you want to get to, and you leave with a direction, a timeline and a figure.
