Calling a design studio colourblind seems like anti-advertisement. But the name is a major guideline to how they approach their work. If in today’s world most things revolve around visual aesthetics, content often gets left behind. By approaching design from a content driven space, one needs to be ‘blind’ to colour (or the visual in this case). Once content takes presidence, results reveal a deeper understanding and communication of what needs to be said. This approach is significant for Putri and Andreas’ work: pushing what has lately become traditional towards alternative perceptions.
