| Note from asker to answererWell - I went all around the houses on this one. What the client wanted in the end, it turned out, was 'graphic identity' - which I understand to be pretty similar to 'graphic theme'. It was actually open to a very wide interpretation within the context, I decided - depending on one's past experience of such things. Thanks! 1 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer |
