Novus 2/2
The Newspaper as a Brand Manual.
The Novus brand book is realized as an editorial publication in newspaper format, complemented by a refurbished 1952 corporate briefcase, which serves as both a container and a conceptual support for the project. This choice not only references the documentary tradition of the legal field, but also reinterprets historical elements in a contemporary context, reinforcing the conceptual paradox that underpins the brand’s identity: the old becomes new. A photographic art direction in high-contrast black and white was developed, evoking the aesthetic of a contemporary era; however, the elements within the composition, such as the newspaper and briefcase, introduce a bygone dimension, creating a visual dialogue between tradition and innovation. The newspaper includes 4 fold-out sheets that transform into posters, presenting the brand identity in a visual and strategic manner and articulating its graphic elements and corporate narrative. The newspaper format allows for a sequenced and open reading, while the 1952 briefcase creates a tangible link to the history of the legal environment. Together, these physical resources transform the object into a narrative container that communicates Novus’ identity beyond digital and printed media.
