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.

Emirates AIR LINE

Whilst in London I took the opportunity to ride the Emirates Air Line, constructed for the London 2012 Olympics the cable car system consists of a station from the O2 Peninsula to the Royal Victoria Dock. What immediately struck me from this is the way the Emirates brand is incorporated into the branding for Transport for London. The 'Air Line' section of the logo is contained within the typical TfL roundel image, used throughout the entire transport network be it the Underground, Buses or DLR. I liked how the branding and colour ways for Emirates are present throughout but not overpowering the TfL branding. I think this is important because customers of the TfL network will want to connect with consistent typography, symbols and motifs whilst using different colour allows the network to differentiate it's formats of travel and route whilst retaining the same shape and type. A signage system followed throughout the TfL network sees simple and...

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...
