Indie meets Vogue in this clean yet edgy statement piece which delivers a strong message along with two brand identities with the help of a quite a few good-looking folk.
Promoting a monthly nightclub event with provocative design and photographic manipulation. Reworking imagery and generating concepts to provide a pre-emptive narrative to a night out. Designing with comedy and fantasy and shamelessly seeking attention.
Regenerating the East Midland’s biggest gay venue visually and socially. Working with the client to engender customer confidence and intrigue into a clubbing heritage brand. A contemporary yet classic design statement embodies 11 years of nightlife legacy whilst leaning the brand towards a more refined positioning and elevated, aspirational status.
Conceptualising ‘the’ night of the year into one engaging print campaign and ticketing design. Abandoning the ‘sexy’ route for a call to action more relevant to the night itself and embedding the notion of a finite experience through copy and imagery. Loud, pink, bold fun!
Reworking photography to achieve a high-fashion approach to a typically ‘tacky’ niche. Deviating from traditional styles for this area instead using a more tongue-in-cheek concept to engage audiences and foster viral discussion online. Also employed in-house in large scale print for maximum impact and brand elevation.

A big campaign for a big day. Channeling the best of a city, a nightclub, a festival and a community into a multi-faceted yet mono-themed design. Seeking to engage an audience before and during an event and from markets outside a normal geographical reach. Competing directly with 5 sister events across the country and needing a traditional yet visually distinct message to achieve this.
Engaging a city and a community with a print campaign designed for large-scale display at an outdoor event with 25,000 person attendance. Playing on a gay brand heritage whilst recognising the need for an inclusive and all-welcoming message, an unorthodox visual led this campaign. The universal appeal of fantasy, magic and wonder combined with direct but gently-voiced copy engender a welcoming, warm message with an ambience of friendliness and a lack of pretence.
