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.

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...

The Anemones

The packaging was developed to suit to the appeal of a younger generation using bright, contrasting colours to create a lasting impact and one that will stand out from the other toys on the shelf. The window design is a unique element, representing bubbles underwater these windows allow the younger target market to see into the packaging and view their chosen Anemone! It was important that the characters developed for the project were instantly likeable and contained similarities that allowed them to be different whilst also maintaining the same design style, through the use of shape and colour to connect them thematically. The two main characters developed; Woodle and Yoodle are both are designed with large round eyes and large grinning mouth to reflect the friendly, funny nature of the harmless sea creatures.

TowersStreet

Throughout 2016 I worked with Alton Towers community TowersStreet to develop a new identity for their website and social media platforms. Their current look was becoming dated as it had been hastily designed when their new website was launched in 2012 and as a result did not reflect the professional level of content they were delivering to the demographic who were interacting with their site and social media platforms. Above you can see the new logo that I developed for them, taking cues from current design trends, I developed a logo that would be suitable in small and larger sizes, that could be set in black and white whilst maintaining it's visibility and carried the brand name well. The inclusion of the Towers was an important part of the design, that when I collaborated with TowersStreet editor Craig, said must be included to reflect the communities strong link with Alton Towers.The use of purple was also an important step for TowersStreet as they felt the c...
