OpenText

Capturing an interactive guide to the OpenVerse

OpenText is one of the most dynamic yet unsung tech companies in Silicon Valley. We captured CEO Mark Barranchea’s vision of this evolving business and his technology philosophy—the OpenVerse—in a highly visual and interactive book inspired by images from the universe.

Out-of-this-world inspiration

Versant invites readers to explore the OpenVerse and be active participants in OpenText’s ongoing journey. Stiff conceptualized, wrote and designed an interactive, boundary-pushing look into OpenText’s culture, values and aspirations. The messages come to life through custom puzzles, colours and visuals inspired by images from NASA’s James Webb telescope.
