- Notino | Rebrand | Short - from Federico Donati on Vimeo.

Lately, I had the chance to contribute to the rebranding of Notino, a leading European beauty and fragrance e-commerce brand. 

The project, led by Spring Studios Milan under the creative direction of Mike Raven, introduced the new brand claim “Today is Yours. Feel Good.” and featured iconic model Bianca Balti as the face of the campaign in Italy.

As part of the team, I created the motion graphics videos for the launch, helping bring the brand’s renewed identity to life by blending beauty with technology in a sleek, dynamic visual language.

Today's yours. Feel good.

Orbit from Javier Bianchi on Vimeo.

I aimed to create a unique Bluetooth speaker by blending concepts of shapes, abstract compositions, and vivid colors. "The torus was shaped into a wave, reminiscent of the aurora borealis, like a pulse of sound drawn from the very heart of the cosmos" During this experimental design process, I collaborated with Javi Bianchi to bring this concept to life. The journey through its textures and colors reveals the details of this Bluetooth speaker, which not only waves through space but also merges with the surrounding sound. The soundtrack was specifically designed for this project, adding depth and dimension to the piece. Orbit is the fusion between sculpture and sound. @_fran_rossi & @jgbianchi

Raised By Wolves: Main Titles - Series One (Ep102) from STUDIO AKA on Vimeo.

Raised By Wolves “A bloody exploration of artificial intelligence and religious belief”

The Emmy nominated Main Title sequence for ‘Raised by Wolves’, a science fiction drama series created by Aaron Guzikowski. Director – and executive producer – Ridley Scott commissioned AKA to create the main titles for this 10-episode series for HBO Max, which centres on two androids tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task.

Working from the brief set by Ridley Scott, AKA director Steven Small designed intricately hand-rendered shots depicting the destruction of our planet and all remaining life departing to find refuge elsewhere in the solar system. Along with a team of animators, Small drew references from a wide array of source materials, using a combination of 3D, rotoscoping, and simple artwork to create these captivating sequences portraying chaos and destruction.

Dir Steve Small says of the project: “It’s not every day you are invited to work on a project in a genre with the person who created some of the most resonant and powerful examples of the genre itself. Collaborating with Ridley Scott on the title sequence of ‘Raised By Wolves’ offered a rare glimpse into his creative process. He draws, storyboards, thinks like a painter and has an unsettlingly good eye. Aaron Guzikowski’s darkly compelling story contains a powerful pioneering spirit that carries humanity’s flawed past into a fragile dream of the future. We wanted to create something that felt both broken but hopeful to reflect these contrasting themes.” Season Two Main Title Refresh For the second season, we were asked to extend the Main Title sequence to reflect the story development. Writer and creator Aaron Guzikowski summarised a few concepts to outline where the show was going, and with our minds suitably bent, we designed and created the additional imagery to accompany this next chapter. We again used Maya, Houdini, and After Effects to generate much of the reference for these new scenes and then set to work, digitally hand-painting and adding further animation frame by frame. Fittingly, the technology employed does not obscure the hand-rendered nature of the work we crafted.
