ABOUT THE PROJECT
Rebranding an entire art center in Montana is no small feat, and designer Kenneth Kuh took on the project of his own accord. Using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and even JavaScript, he created an original, dot-and-line identity and a bevy of branding materials to go with it. Download his Photoshop file for printer-ready business cards at the top of the page, and follow below for tips on how to customize them for yourself.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chinese-American designer Kenneth Kuh grew up in Taiwan, but spent most of his time living in Shanghai. “I speak in English while processing my thoughts in Chinese,” he says. “I write the alphabet yet persist with reading characters, or Hanzi. It’s at the intersection of these dualities where I find myself becoming a creative, a vessel between inputs and outputs — relaying messages in between. Design is our common language.” He lives and works in San Jose, California.
