GDLOFT

GDLOFT We're a design studio comprised of designers, fine artists, and makers who support the Fine Art Worl GDLOFT’s believes in personal attention.

The identity you put out through your visuals and creative strategies are what makes your organization unique and valuable. We believe in taking chances as a path to innovating your brand and organization and your visuals are an extension of the stability and strength of infrastructure of your organization. Our clients understand this investment and believe creative thinking should not be top down

but bottoms —mission driven and authentic. GDLOFT is an award winning, Philadelphia based creative studio that provides design, branding, and marketing services. Our studio straddles the line between fine art and design methodology and fundamentally believe your audience are critical thinkers, intelligent, and active participants in the design and marketing process. For past 15 years we have worked with local, national and international artists, higher education institutions, cultural and art institutions, nonprofit organizations, and more. We work closely with our clients on their projects, providing expertise through the design and marketing process— discovery, strategy, project conceptualization, execution and final delivery. In addition, we have an understanding of the grant process. We pride ourselves in being collaborators for your grant project and have the ability to develop ideas and write for your proposals. An organization is built on three things: a mission, authenticity and integrity, and creativity. GDLOFT can fulfill your creative need.

We’re excited to share that GDLOFT has been recognized in AIGA’s 50 Books | 50 Covers of 2024 for our cover design of Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America.

The shifting gradients, blind embossing, and matte foil stamping were all intended to mirror the exhibition’s central question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy?

We’re deeply honored to see this project included among such inspiring works from designers around the world.
