OVERRIDE / Brand design, Graphic design

Who gets the final override?

OVERRIDE is an original series by CiVL, hosted by Jen Sidorova, exploring AI, technology, culture, power, and human agency.

The project challenge was to create a visual identity that felt contemporary and technology-driven without looking like a conventional tech brand.

Design Direction

The visual concept is built around control, interruption, and human intervention.

Bold typography, digital distortion, dark cinematic imagery, and cool blue tones create a visual language between documentary media, editorial design, and speculative technology.

The human figure remains central, reinforcing the series’ core idea: technology may shape systems, but questions of power and decision-making remain human.

Applications

The visual system was developed for:

  • Logo
  • Promotional posters
  • Outdoor advertising
  • Social media
  • Digital and print materials
  • On-set graphics
