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 logotype set in Baskerville, which I think represents the heritage of Stoke on Trent which is something I wanted to reflect in my design, whilst also incorporating the new symbol logo acting as a period on the logotype.

Pantone 2017

Pantone have launched their Colour of the Year for 2017. Titled Greenery it gives connotations of natural elements and a fresh change from the previous years colours which were much more man made than the natural bright green tone we see for 2017. The Greenery swatch 15-0343 has been used by many years for designers in interior design industry to create warm room sets that blend effortlessly together, I think this is a great example of the timelessness of the colour and a perfect reason for Pantone to have chosen it. Through practise I think Greenery is a good colour choice after the turmoil and unrest of 2016 it is important to usher in calming designs throughout 2017 and Pantone will be at the heart of it through colour choices such as Greenery representing that calm, warming feel.

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...

Virgin Atlantic Safety Video

This video caught my attention on a recent holiday aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight to Florida, the video is displayed before the flight and aims to deliver the essential safety information through an engaging and unique style. A story plays out throughout the short film, the use of animation engages you into the video and communicates the information to the viewer successfully. The company behind the project, Art & Graft created the initial ideas for the 6 minute film in just under 3 months. Considering throughout the process that the video must be able to stay on trend and current throughout it’s probably long tenure and diverse use throughout the Virgin Atlantic fleet.     https://youtu.be/8XNxZh9_YN0 Storyboard concept for the opening scenes.
