Peter Pan

I was immediately drawn to the stunning visual appearance of this novel, a republication of the classic I believe the aim might have been to distance the publication of the imagery made famous through the Walt Disney animation of the same name. The use of colour, typography and graphical style has ensured this book is of the very highest standard in terms of it's appearance and approach as as adult orientated book that even though the target audience is of an older generation the illustration used throughout is still if not more beautiful than the equivalent children's book. I feel it evokes elements of nostalgia in the reader.


I first noticed this book when scrolling through the website of MinaLima, the duo design team also came up with the great visual identity seen throughout all of the cinematic Warner Bros Harry Potter universe, films and theme park attractions. More recently they have crafted designs for Lush products seen in the UK, each one featuring bright colours and designs.

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...

Chronology

For my final major project, I developed a brand identity for a theme park, called Chronology based in Stoke-on-Trent. Materials produced in association with this concept include tickets and vouchers alongside a range of promotional print such as leaflets and guides. In addition to these developed products I produced a vertical wall poster displaying a general advertisement for the Chronology theme park / attraction. I looked at ways I could reach my target market through the development of a mobile app, and an interface that can link the park real time with the application. I developed concepts for the Exhibition Space including to scale representations of the artwork I would include. I wanted to give the Exhibition Space a theme so I thought of different textures of wallpaper to use and the inclusion of lighting. The logo was crafted from drawing done by hand. I wanted something that looked handwritten and at the same time inco...

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'. Bombay Bicycle Club - Touring Video and Animation Design from Adam Young on Vimeo . 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...
