Overview

Game-inspired biome themes, color-coded graphics, and Studio brand elements create a cohesive visual language across this multi-team location, with a light touch of the EA Hero Brand connecting it to the broader EA identity. I focused on building a flexible EGD framework that reinforces the Studio’s presence while giving other teams room to be represented, using the biome themes to connect spaces and support intuitive wayfinding.

  • Developed the biome color coding system in collaboration with Ripple Effect Studio leadership, supporting intuitive wayfinding across each floor while bright, approachable graphics give every area its own distinct identity.
  • Evergreen, non-IP artwork carries the biome themes throughout the space, pairing large-scale corridor graphics with Studio identity elements and extending into neighborhood entry points and seating areas.
  • Gallery-style canvases add visual interest to long corridors, combining inclusive EA IP with non-EA artwork inspired by gaming and biome themes. Large-scale EA IP graphics, commissioned artwork, and architectural biophilic elements also weave the Studio brand throughout both floors.
