As finance evolves, its symbols must evolve too.

The Swissquote Elite Card isn’t just a premium object, it’s a statement.

A visual manifesto of a new kind of wealth: intelligent, dynamic, and human.

In motion, cold metal transforms into warm elegance.

‍

Geometry comes alive. Value turns into experience. Here, finance becomes more than a system, it’s a living force, shaped by innovation, design, and intention.

Creative Process

The journey began with visual research on Pinterest, a curated dive into mood, materials, and atmosphere. This phase shaped the aesthetic foundation and sparked the first design instincts.

Next came sketches and concept art on paper: fast, intuitive explorations of form, composition, and narrative. These early studies laid the groundwork for the 3D and motion design that would bring the vision to life.

Design & Concept

The Swissquote Elite Card is revealed in a raw, mineral landscape, resting on dark stone, its metallic finish and pure form command attention.

This contrast of natural textures and refined surfaces underscores the card’s strength, precision, and exclusivity.

Lighting is minimal, purposeful. There’s no superfluous motion, only visual stillness. The composition is stripped back to its essence, echoing a vision of finance that’s stable, deliberate, and enduring.

Making Benefits Tangible

Every privilege of the Swissquote Elite Card was distilled into a symbolic visual, minimal in form, rich in meaning.

The challenge: to express abstract values like security, exclusivity, and prestige through cinematic simplicity.

Guided by material research, sharp composition, and a precise motion language, I crafted five distinct scenes. Each belongs to the same visual universe, yet speaks its own message. Together, they form a cohesive series that turns intangible benefits into iconic, desirable moments, unmistakably Swissquote.

A Cohesive Visual Ecosystem

Clean compositions, controlled lighting, and a restrained aesthetic ensured effortless harmony across both print and digital formats.

The visual language was also crafted for flexible declination, easily adaptable across multiple touchpoints, from social media stories to high-resolution print layouts.

The result is a unified identity where motion and graphic design speak the same language, each enhancing the other with clarity and intention.

Research & Development

This project demanded a meticulous exploration of materials, lighting, and surface interaction to convey weight, permanence, and tactility.

Textures were carefully crafted to evoke raw stone and brushed metal, while lighting tests aimed to balance contrast and restraint, revealing form without distraction.

Subtle procedural elements shaped the environment, adding depth and atmosphere without pulling focus.

The goal: to achieve grounded realism with deliberate control, ensuring the card remains the centerpiece in a world designed to elevate its presence.

Elite Card Campaign in the Wild

Stumbling across the massive print just before my surfing breaks in April was a quiet moment of pride, seeing the work out in the world, scaled up and standing strong.
