Aldier Studio
The design and build studio of Aldier
Aldier Studio designs and builds identities, digital products, films and physical spaces. Its designers, engineers, film-makers and architects join engagements from the first day, alongside the firm's strategists.
Our perspective
Advice creates value when it is built. By bringing the makers into the room where decisions are taken, the Studio carries an engagement from the first sketch to the finished product without loss in translation.
Disciplines
What the Studio makes
Select a discipline to learn more.
Identities that hold across every channel.
Names, voices, visual systems and guidelines, specified down to the colour values and type sizes, so that an institution looks and sounds like itself in every place it appears.
Websites, applications and platforms that work for everyone.
Designed and built to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, tested with real users, and measured after launch against the tasks people came to complete.
Services redesigned from evidence of how people use them.
We observe a service in use, map where people abandon it, and redesign it end to end, including the parts nobody sees: the forms, the rules and the hand-offs between teams.
Films that carry an institution's story.
Documentary, campaign and explainer films, from research and script to shoot and edit, made for the screens people actually watch.
Rooms, branches and campuses planned around the service.
Architects in the Studio plan the physical places where institutions meet people, from a branch counter to a campus, so that the building supports the service it houses.
How the Studio works
From research to launch
Every Studio project follows four stages, whatever is being made.
Observe
Research with the people who will use the product or service: interviews, observation, analytics and complaints data.
Prototype
Ideas made tangible early, in paper, code, film or foam board, and tested before money is committed.
Make
Production to a written standard, with accessibility, security and brand checks built into the work.
Measure
After launch, the Studio measures use against its objectives and improves what falls short.
