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 colour suits the brand well and ties the colour schemes together.













I also created a halloween variant of the logo to allow the brand to continue through Alton Towers' Scarefest season, adjustments of the colour pallet and inclusion of design elements have allowed the logo to look spooky but still maintain the distinct TowersStreet look.

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...

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...

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.
