Challenge in the project
A big challenge in the project for Leaf Design was to unite the diverse departments and reinforce the brand values and legacy, to foster excellence and inspire every employee, every day.
Right approach
The spaces were uniquely treated to affect performance, mood and productivity—creating diverse experiences that evoke specific emotions, tied together with the essence of Reliance brand essence.
Visual metaphors
Unique in the applications were the visual metaphors for brand values and beliefs. The Reliance values, vision and beliefs were expressed through metaphorical illustrations within visual language boundaries. Brand colours were interpreted to create an individual identity and the core for all environmental elements.
Creating inspired moments
Creating inspired moments everywhere, the inspired environments can keep people positive, productive and peaceful. Thus motivational and inspirational quotes by influential people and supporting with relevant inspiring imagery created an inspirational tonality throughout—diverse, yet consistent!
Positive thoughts
Personal cubicles were created for positive thoughts. With a creative twist on polaroid photographs, a world of motivation came alive from different perspectives. Business values, life principles, timeless truths, were conveyed through metaphoric or symbolic visuals to evoke different emotions and trigger actions. A variable mix of text, photographs and graphics enhanced interest levels, while thin frames created an illusion of floating on walls.
Space for every break
Breakout zones were created a refreshing mood around recreational activities – to rejuvenate people in the midst of work. Filled up with fun activities such as scrabble, music, lego, these spaces are crafted as areas to relax or unwind.
Functional signs to navigate massive space
Highly functional signs are designed to navigate massive space. The signage extended the visual route, while enhancing class and staying functional. An effective mix of brushed metal, plexi glass and wood further depicted the diversity.
