Daily Dialogue’s minimal designs for its eclectic mix of clients

Date
26 May 2016

Based in Munich, design studio Daily Dialogue tries to avoid “formulaic, uninspired work” and instead aims to make “strong statements” with a “meticulous attention to detail.” Its projects cover a multitude of design services including catalogues, flyers, exhibition design, branding, magazines and artwork. The studio’s client list is equally as broad, ranging from a richly coloured invitation for a theatre company started by three formerly homeless men to a sparsely designed magazine containing writing from architects, city planners and other industrialists.

Despite this eclectic mix, the running thread between Daily Dialogue’s projects is its tendency not to over design. Stripped-back sans serif type features throughout the studio’s portfolio and images and graphic flourishes are used minimally. Whether its club night posters for Munich musicians or an identity for a stylist, Daily Dialogue’s information-led approach means layout and type placement become the focus, ensuring each part of its designs are uncluttered, refined and carefully considered.
