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.

Scarefest Map

Alton Towers Resort released the 2016 Scarefest map, and as expected it's busy and complicated. Working at the Resort myself a common issue for guests is getting lost even when they're following the map! And I can understand why, I think that the map is complicated to view, offers no real scale and location base to the real life counter part and in the end causes more confusion than help. Using a full colour palette the map is visually interesting and the juxtaposition of playful and scary elements is a great summary of Scarefest in general.

An annoyance I find from a practical point of view is that the map isn't useful in terms of it's scale and location. For example, it situates the Tree Top Quest adjacent to the rear of Sharkbait Reef, when infact these two attractions are at opposite ends of the park and are at l...

EE Rebranding Process

UK mobile phone operators Orange and T-Mobile who merged to become Everything Everywhere, later simplified their name to EE. As of 2016, EE is soaring in profits, seeing a 10% increase to over £6.5bn in revenue in the three years from 2010 to 2013. More recently EE was purchased by the UK communication giant British Telecom Group more commonly known as BT. The success of EE’s new status as a highly successful mobile phone operator is underpinned by that of their successful rebranding strategy. This sentence itself is a relative contradiction as from the two years that followed from 2010, when Orange and T-Mobile merged the company traded under the brand name ‘Everything Everywhere’ this didn’t appear to catch on, rollout of this brand was slow, and to many people Orange and T-Mobile were trading exactly as they always have. Small trial concept Everything Everywhere stores were launched and the predicted feedback came back that the company was struggling to get the new bran...
