Handelsblatt Innovation Week

When the German newspaper Handelsblatt celebrated its 75th anniversary and 75 year of constant self-reinvention, innovation became the obvious motto. A new format was created, to happen not only in its anniversary year 2021 but every year after that.

For innovation is a constant state of mind.

Examples of the cross media variation of the branding: From the general advertisement to the activation for specific events of the Innovation Week.

Dyson’s Supersonic: The revolutionary hair dryer is the only visible object in a pitch black room.
By Jean-Philippe Ili February 2, 2024
A meticulous work of art direction at its best: entrusted with an expansion of Dyson's style guide. Tasked to seamlessly integrate a new product presentation section, the challenge is not to revolutionize, but to masterfully navigate the extensive and precise guidelines. It is the art of balance in a compliant mix of layout, art direction, and infographics, respecting the established rules while introducing a refreshing approach to product presentation. Witness the challenge of combining design innovation within the bounds of tradition.

A sunny background and a mouth full of life in the front: Get punchie!
By Jean-Philippe Ili November 7, 2023
Meet PUNCHIE: the pioneering hard seltzer meticulously crafted with the infusion of rum and cascara coffee fruit — a superfood renowned for its natural energy-boosting properties.

The solo activity that gives me the most satisfaction is probably painting. The conditions alone that necessarily have to occur: the time, the room and the quiet to exercise. The rewards of a won challenge like giving an eye a lively feel, or a daring color combination that ends up working out way better than expected, are nothing compared to the meditative effects painting brings along.

A short walk on Memory Lane with a few illustrations I created between 2007 and 2018.
The vibrant type of dancing school ’Tanz mit Korina’ on a shiny blue badge – a statement.
By Jean-Philippe Ili December 9, 2022
Korina is a dynamic force of energy, and her vibrant spirit is truly contagious. My branding revolves around capturing her youthful and punchy essence. Through a series of static and animated 'chibis' (simplified cartoon avatars), I've created a visually engaging representation of Korina. The design is rounded off with playful cartoony confetti, embodying the lively energy she exudes.
The simplified portrait of Emily Nellissen, founder of Nellissen Interiors (1892)
By Jean-Philippe Ili December 8, 2022
For their 120th anniversary, Nellissen Interiors aimed to 'refresh the branding' and address a lack of pride in their visual identity. Launching a special collection to honor the true founder, Emily Nellissen, the brand sought to recognize her often overshadowed role. The new logo, inspired by 19th-century handwriting, embraces the brand's femininity, while a minimalistic portrait of Emily enhances the 'full' version of the mark for use in the anniversary year and special events.
A music note made of only two geometric shapes: a rectangle and a disc – in the style of Bauhaus.
By JPdoes December 7, 2022
Though I am not a Christian, rebranding the St. Andrews Orchestra in 2022 became more than a graphic design task. Balancing tradition with a modern, youthful look, my Bauhaus-inspired logo features bold shapes, maintaining a serious tone in black-and-white contrast. This design captures the essence of a traditional institution transitioning into modernism, offering a playful touch.

In 2021 the German magazin WirtschaftsWoche and the international bank Generali created the SIA (Sustainable Impact Award) and my former team and I got to create its branding and its first cross media campaign.
