Penne & Co.

Brand identity for the luxury dog brand, Penne & Co. With an aim to be positioned as a 'Mr Porter' of dog brands, the client enquired about their identity in their infancy. This allowed for the development of their complete identity that fed into brand strategy and product development.

The subtle colour scheme and minimalist typography allowed for illustrations and strong imagery to take priority within the identity, this further allows for development in the brand strategy and more viral videos and imagery to become part of the social media content.

Adobe Caslon and GT America have been paired together to create a traditional perspective, yet one that feels fresh and unique. A customised Adobe Caslon Regular and Italic, with rounded serifs has been used within Logotype to feel more warm and approachable. Partnering the two typefaces from the font family together to show the brand's 'dog first' strategy, rather than selling product that the owner is buying for themselves.

Art Direction takes reference from luxury fashion, using negative space and appropriate 'dog styling' to further bring the pet to the forefront. The aim is to see man's best friend as an extension of oneself and something with as much, if not more importance than the owner.

BESTIA: Unused Ideation

Tasked with building the identity for Bestia, a new American/Singaporean based sportswear sunglasses brand. The displayed idea shows a failed concept, using Bauhaus references to create a custom logotype. This shape based idea used Roobert as its accompanying typeface which would be used in Bold and Regular respectfully.

Bright blues were used to represent a more healthy lifestyle and bringing the user back into nature with connotations with the sky and sea.

The identity was shown through deliverables such as Logo, Typography, Colour, Packaging, Social and OOH

Laced Christmas Campaign 2023

Creative strategy, art direction and design for Laced's 2023 Christmas campaign for social, CRM, ECOM and OOH across 15 billboards at major London underground stations including Oxford Street and Covent Garden. The strategy focussed on the idea of gift giving and the different stages in that process during the holiday season. Campaign imagery centred on "choosing the gift", "wrapping the gift", "giving the gift" and "enjoying the gift" with the use of both still life and talent focussed shots used throughout.

AI was used throughout the campaign to see the talent enjoying the presents in a snowy landscape, whilst luxury props and styling were used to match. Anonymity was labelled a priority to focus entirely on the product and the act of giving in of itself.

Aesthetic Survival

A guide created in close collaboration with Hartcopy and Aurora Realini, dissecting and examining the culture of bivouacking in the alps, AESTHETIC SURVIVAL saw co-authors Aurora Realini and Sam Le Roy embark on an expedition to twenty different mountain shelters, starting in Slovenia and venturing across to the French-Italian border.

The role of a bivouac has been redefined over the years, shifting from pure survivalism to what is now a glamorous opportunity for aspiring and heavyweight architects from across the globe to experiment on a new landscape.

This 220 page publication is typeset in G2 Erika from Gruppo Due, with copy written in both English and Italian. Printed by Kopa using coated stock from their own collection, the book is hardback and uses japanese binding.

Minimalist layouts combine BAU imagery with campaign assets to bring a flurry of Hartcopy, the collaborator, into the mix.

2000 copies were printed and distributed across New Balance's UK stores as well as given out during the 40th anniversary event and celebrations.

HUF Worldwide SS21 Social Activation

This brief challenged me to portray the HUFF SS21 collection in a London, urban environment.

I decided to focus on escapism in urbanised areas of London, showing the model relaxing and calm, unbeknownst to the environment that surrounds them. Key themes saw the model finding solace through clothing, in the face of adversity, isolation in a time of hard ship, relaxation and comfort in disturbed and destructive locations.

Here Still

Creative direction, social media management and further creative work for Here Still, a new age media company.

The identity was kept minimal, allowing each franchise to reflect its content rather than feel constricted to one aesthetic. The 8 point asterisk, used as the primary logo, drew inspiration from its original, eight person team. Further inspiration came from its similarities to a camera flash, video reels and the sun to portray the companies new beginnings. It was important to the team to have contemporary undertones, hinted throughout the identity. This was done through the custom logotype and body copy pairing of GT America as well as animation style and tone of voice.

The branding was developed through social media where tasked with content creation and strategy. Here, new ideas were introduced to boost interactivity and further express the company ethics of community and collaboration. Examples included 'Creative Exposure' and the creation of six videos of the on screen talent which were created to depict each of their personalities through video format.

BTS art direction, photography and videography for Boiler Room’s SS20 lookbook. This was the client's first full collection where BTS was requested to give added support the creative director and photographer.

The brief required the documentation of the club themed garments in a distinctively different way to the main shoot. Shots were captured by taking the talent away from set, basing outcomes on the conceptual ideas of earth and fire similar to that of the main shoot. Focus was aimed towards the garments and their vintage styling in relation to the contemporary location.

Outcomes were used across a variety of social channels and client’s e-commerce website.

Malcolm Bruno

Interactive and informative website created for composer Malcolm Bruno Developed concepts throughout this project were meticulously scrutinised to ensure appropriateness in regards to the clients craft. This was essential as I wanted to ensure professionality and ease of use for the intended audience.

Malcolm Bruno’s achievements throughout his long standing career are held in high regard and so his new interactive website had to give access to all information his audience would need or want to access. A simple design coupled with the typeface Whyte Inktrap from Dinamo gives a nod to composers of the past whose work was printed using letterpress. The responsive site is easily manageable through a Wordpress content management system and coupled with it’s contemporary approach means the client can update his audience on his goings on for years to come.
