New Work for Outside

approach

I can’t deny it, I’m a design nerd. With over 20 years of experience, I still love design, telling stories and just making cool shit. Together, let’s chip away at the exterior to expose the core of your idea/brand. Then the fun begins in crafting an elevated visual solution to give it all some polish and bring out the true shine.

I also must acknowledge the amazing editors, illustrators and photographers I have had the honor of working with throughout the years. Without these creatives, this body of work would not be what it is today.

Commercial work

I have found that starting with some simple questions at the beginning can save a lot of time down the road. As obvious at this sounds, understanding the true problem will ensure coming up with the right design solution.

Monochrome is one of those rare talents that when you find, you have a sense of awe and relief. They look at projects strategically - “what problem are we trying to solve?” and then attack it with intelligence and impeccable creative thinking. And while this is where some Creative Directors stop, it’s just the beginning for Monochrome as they're able to bring to life ideas through elegant design and thoughtful art direction - bringing brands ideas into a visual language that draws in consumers and moves business forward. Oh, and did I mention, they're efficient, highly-collaborative and a pleasure to work with? Honestly, they've been an amazing asset to every project they've worked on with our team.”

Editorial work

Editorial work is just damn fun. Bringing imagery, design and content all together to entertain, teach or report is a beautiful hurricane to control.

“Monochrome is a joy to work with. They never fail to make initial ideas more dynamic as they bring the product vision to life. They never settles for the obvious or mundane, but instead strive for storytelling formats and designs that will surprise and delight both the product owner and the end user.”

JON DORN, Senior Vice President

Motion design

Motion graphics can capture attention, round out ideas, and articulate nuanced messaging. They sweeten work and push the personality of the brand to a new and relevant level. With something as simple as fun social posts or animated logos, motion gets noticed.

Hiring Monochrome was one of the best business decisions I've made yet. Their shared vision in applying design strategy to business has helped me uplevel my personal and professional presence while capturing the attention of well-paying clients who connect to the brand messaging and our visual storytelling. Monochrome is responsive, easy to work with, works well in team settings, and mind-blowingly creative. Hire Monochrome and thank me later.

Wicked thanks for your time.

Monochrome Design House is a one man wrecking crew run by me, Bryan Nanista. As you can see from my work (hopefully), I love design; editorial, advertising, art direction, creative direction and all things that need to look fantastic.

Regardless of the scale, give me a shout about a project or to just introduce yourself. Friends in this business are a good thing.
