Introduction

Challenges

Challenges

Working within a corporate brand system isn't a constraint to work around. It's the design problem itself.

The WorldCat brand system had established rules that couldn't change. But a campaign aimed at a general audience needed more personality than a product suite typically allows. The solution was to identify which elements could flex: softening the visual tone, introducing more human qualities into the layouts, and building a consistency that felt approachable without introducing anything foreign to the existing suite.

Final thoughts

Final thoughts

A campaign for a global library catalog has to feel like something a real person would stop scrolling for.

To build a visual identity for the KnowMore campaign that could carry WorldCat's voice into social and print channels, without breaking the brand system it lives inside.
