Work by Media-Objectives at Vue53 featured in The Urban Letter

“The project responds the site context in multiple ways. Taking inspiration from the vertical architectural elements of the building and their movement across the building façade, Media Objectives developed graphic patterns. These patterns became assets for the brand and are used in print, digital applications, and signage. The designers pulled bright blues and greens from the color palette of Nichols Park, across the street from the site. The additional use of black and white add a modern feel. With a location just up the street from University of Chicago, the designers kept the target market in mind, including students and staff at the University.” -The Urban Letter
