Bombay Bicycle Club Tour Visuals

Visuals created for their 2014 UK Tour

The visuals seen throughout the video shown below were produced exclusively for use during the Bombay Bicycle Club 2014 UK Tour, they were matched and inspired by the album released by the band that year titled 'So Long, See You Tomorrow'.

Having witnessed the stage setup in person, I would agree that the composition of the screens against a backdrop of the band is a great way of showcasing the look and feel the Bombay Bicycle Club wanted the audience to embrace.

The visual style was created using warm colours set against character and animal designed created by hand and inspired by Indian textile and art design from centuries ago. This revokes a retro, slightly earthy feel which I believe adds warmth to the stage as well as the album cover itself which which also carrying the design elements when wrapped together in the circles appears slightly psychedelic zoetrope effect that again would have been used in the early stages of animation development to show case how something that looks, at first glance to be simple is actually a complex artwork of images and illustrations that when rotated look like they're moving.

Rhyno

I recently created a new visual identity for my own design work, Rhyno follows on from the logo I launched with the name just over a year ago, assigned a study project to craft an identity to sell my skills through I settled on Rhyno. I've been happy with the name and the soft, darkened tone of purple ever since yet the logotype never appealed to me all that much, seen below it shows how I edited the type and incorporated a tusk into the bowl of the R. Using Gotham as my typeface, I felt it represented a modern clean style, and the tusk in the letter R was a nice quirky way of tying the logotype back to the name. The new logo came about after I started to develop my website, needing a favicon icon for my site, the existing logo simply wouldn't be visible at the typical 16 x 16 favicon size. Therefore I began to come up with ideas for an icon of my own, again incorporating a visual representation of a Rhino to tie in with the Rhyno name. Seen below is the new l...

Spotify 2015

Spotify launched a new visual identity last year that would be seen throughout social media and incorporated into it's online, desktop and mobile applications. The new logo, seen above on the right follows the recent design trend of flattening and brightening an existing logo, this to the average user, of Spotify's target market of teens to young adults will appear to make the brand look fresher and more current compared to it's quickly outdating previous logo. I feel part of this refresh comes as through force from the mobile app design team as the previous logo won't have matched up that well to the current Android and iOS mobile operating systems in terms of their visual style. The new visual style incorporates imagery of featured artists displayed in a duotone format, I think this looks great and suits a brand like Spotify, where the product they offer is not something that can be easily visualised without imagery of the artists well.
