Maurizio Piacenza

Brand and visual communication designer

  • Packaging design
  • Advertising

Best communication projects always start from a solid base. A strategic approach comes before everything. A logo is not a brand. Unless it’s on a cow, as Sean Adams said. Communicating with personality — are you a bold type? — is better than doing things like everybody already does. (Story) doing is better than (story) telling. And things like these :)

There’s already so much communication noise out there. We don’t need some more.

This is why I design visual communication projects that stand for something and help to stand out.
They make and convey sense.

Connecting the dots is my motto.

That’s all.
