DCMN is a growth solution provider that helps digital brands develop and scale their business providing them marketing strategies and ROI-optimizing technology. DCMN is not a common media and advertising
agency, because it offers a full growth package customized for the needs of each client, thanks to its know-how. Clients are growing fast and DCMN is growing even faster every year reaching the point where there is the need of a visual statement which can show better the positioning of the company and communicate clear with its clients. I decided to operate by introducing a modular design, new color palette and new CI elements we can create a vision that will adapt to us.

Registration page for the DCMN tracking tool, aimed to clients with activated campaigns under tracking. I was asked to design an interface with form and a unique image that would express the right balance between seriousness, reliability and fun. Together with corporate communication team we came up with the dinosaur concept and a message and invite clients to not be old but track their campaign. I have designed the form in all the steps and UI elements.

I also designed a sign up landing page that promotes the tool with sneak peeks of the dashboard and explanation of the features, in order to attract new potential users.

Proposed Concepts for Scale17 conference. The topics are usually related to marketing and digital companies, with speakers coming from all over the world, mainly being successful entrepreneurs, company chiefs and media experts. I came up with two different ones

CONCEPT 1

The idea for the first is to get knowledge to get inspired, connecting the dots and expanding your network. The homepage of the website shows a moving net. Each dot leads to a new page. Clicking on one of the dots, the connected shape moves to the side and the selected page appears. The homepage of the website shows a moving net. Each dot leads to a new page. 

CONCEPT 2

The visualization of the second concept is inspired by the atoms. Similar to the atoms, we constantly connect to form new bonds and to create new innovative ideas. Each atom leads to a new page. Once the user lands on the page and scroll with the mouse, the cursor zooms in and the atoms legacy breaks and shows the different section pages.

Balossa is my final thesis project at Politecnico di Milano. It takes its name after Parco della Balossa, a metropolitan park in the suburbs of Milan that has been recently opened, but it still lacks the capability to communicate with people and to establish a relationship with them. As we can see in the following images, the logotype, the font, and pictograms are based on the same module and, combined together, they create a linear and clean language that is applied in the different maps, and in the design of the signage as well. The language of the maps is based on the elements of the visual identity, such as the colour system, the pictograms and the alphabet. The three maps offer different levels of information, depending on the scale of the maps. The environment is an active part of the signage system of the park and its identity. The buildings and the streets in the park can be considered as suitable surfaces to communicate with people. The textual applications along the streets in the park tell about the history and the characteristics of the park. These paths along the walks give information that aren’t usually known or mentioned about the park.
