the graphite lab development process

We belive that unconventional creative approaches produce more powerful emotional reactions. So, we design art that is aesthetically clear, unexpectedly simple, yet distinctively stylized. We create what we love – games for consoles, web, mobile and handheld. When we start new projects we first understand what it is that you want to achieve and then set out to achieve those goals in the most elegant, yet memorable ways. From the most simplistic logo to large-scale game designs our goal is the same: produce work people will love.

a few words about graphite lab

Graphite Lab was born out of necessity to create beautiful things.

As a studio under the Black Lantern Holdings umbrella, we show our roots of game design in all that we do. We built Graphite Lab to focus on services that could supplement our game development - but wanted to place the studio in a location that would benefit from a new digital studio to cater to mid-size businesses.

Seeing that the St. Louis area had a great creative foundation, but no established game development studios, we planted our feet firmly in St. Louis soil and opened Graphite Lab.

We now create all types of digital centerpieces using a blend of traditional technique and modern technology.
