StudioDBD took an original and unusual approach to developing a brand identity for Stockroom, a new cultural hub in Stockport. There's no point being coy about it. In many cases, our town centres just aren't what they were. The twin onslaughts of online shopping and remote working mean a lot of people aren't heading into town as often, and local authorities need to think long and hard about how they tackle this.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
