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.

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.

Virgin Holidays Live Advert

“The tension in the room was unbelievable” Virgin Holidays recently produced a live advert for TV something to be shown once to a captive audience that had to flow perfectly and required months of planning. The advert did feature some errors and mistakes but I feel this actually helped reinforce the point that the video at each location is live, this isn't something that's been filmed in advance and edited nicely together in a cosy studio, it's raw, it's new and it doesn't always go as planned. I pulled this quote from Creative Review who themselves wrote an article on the ad. “The tension in the room was unbelievable,” says Ratigan of the broadcast moment, which took place at ITN Productions’ Master Control room in London. “There was a fair amount of noise from the gallery director and technicians, but the client, agency and production company people, including myself, were silent. There was nothing we could do except wait and watch.” I think what Ratiga...

Deliveroo springs a new logo

Deliveroo has updated it's identity to become more sharper and minimal, they have however retained the Kangaroo imagery in keeping with the 'roo' part of the brand name, which I think is a nice touch and one that could of easily been swiped away, this gives the brand something to attach and promote itself with rather than being typical and sticking with food or conventional delivery imagery. Before and after comparison from Under Consideration Although I like the new style, I don't think it reflects the brand quite so well, with some tweaking and simplifying the original logo could have been updated and I feel that would have been a far better approach to take than rebranding completely to a style I feel is quite cold. Illustration style show through posters The style they have used I think is quite nice in it's actual design and the simplicity of it stands out against the competition, however I feel for a company who's basis is food this ...
