WIP "september 1959"
research for upcoming branding project

“It is said that before entering the sea

A river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she has travelled,

from the peaks of the mountains, the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.

The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.

To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean because only then will fear disappear because that’s where the river will know it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.”

TITLES
Creative Direction, Identity Design, Motion Design, Web Design

A creative platform that combines AI and blockchain to let artists train and monetize custom models. It prioritizes on-chain attribution, revenue sharing, and artist control. ffforum was tasked to reimagine the TITLES identity, emphasizing refinement and forward-thinking through a sharp typographic system and a simplified mark that conveys luxury and clarity. The idea of the white cube is flipped on its head: the black box becomes an open system for exchange and authorship, where movement and transparency replace rigid ways of making.

ffforum developed three motion systems: Circularity, Multiplicity & Openness, to anchor TITLES visual identity to its core values. Each system is adjustable to support the seamless promotion of artists, models, and user creations on the platform. These systems extend into simplified static layouts for quicker bursts of promo. By guiding and incentivising the cultivation of relationships with reputable artists, ffforum aimed to elevate the standard of the platform, making it easier to generate high-quality work. This initiative is extended by a spotlight series for visiting prompt artists, that push the artist models to its limits.
