What is the story of Bandiz ? The studio opened in 2010, mostly developing video projects. However, as the years passed we specialized in the area of graphic design and photography where we feel more comfortable. Today, at this point in our career, we truly realize everything we have accomplished and we understand all the effort we have invested in the studio has been worth wait. We know there is still a lot to do and we love that ! We are constantly learning and facing new challenges. We have a beautiful vocation and we are certain we wouldn't be able to be as passionate about any other job.
What is your graphic design process ? Our process when facing a project varies depending on the client and the kind of job we are asked to perform. Usually we put together guidelines of the project and we organize the steps and deadlines for the different tasks. The first stage is the one we enjoy the most, it is where we propose all sorts of ideas, playing with different concepts and letting our creativity run free.
Have you a special project that you want to talk about ? At this moment we are putting together an exhibition due for 2016. We are experimenting with new materials and creating new pieces, aiming to combine graphic design and installations. We will also publish two new photobooks at the beginning of the year and we will open our own online shop in which we will offer our products. We try to combine projects which are more personal and artistic with commissioned work, developing videos, photos and design projects for different brands and agencies.
Do you think current graphic designers have to look beyond their domain ? We believe most graphic designers today have changed the way they deal with new projects. The graphic design industry has experienced lots of changes through the last 20 years and it demands multi-talented designers. The profile of graphic designers specialized in only one area is slowly being replaced, promoting people that have a more versatile profile, being capable of mixing graphics with other disciplines such as video, animation or art direction.
