118 118

Concept Board time again. 118 118, the telephone company with the amusing adverts. They are releasing a new product which we were pitching for. The product will be that you can call 118 118 with ANY question and they will have a team of people at the end of the phone to find the answer. Questions ranging from: What time does my train leave? What's cinemas are showing Pan's Labyrinth? Who scored in the 1982 World Cup final? How do you spell monkdewalydehonk?

We've created the concept boards and our ideas and work are being pitched to them, finger crossed!

Big Hair Productions

Big Hair Productions are newly formed company which put on small theatre type shows for weddings and corporate parties. The show consists of three incredible singers performing songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. When performing they are dressed in the respective decade fashions.

My job was to design a double sided A5 flyer, A2 posters (one for each decade) and also create a banner to hang behind them on stage.

This was a new style of design for me, this was my first theatre production design. I went to several theatres and picked up a bunch of leaflets for the upcoming shows, I noticed that they were all terribly designed. Seriously, how can any of these productions live with themselves. It just seemed that they had all been designed (and i use that word loosely) in a 5 minutes, probably using something like Microsoft Word!!

Having seen the tripe which production companies get done, I think I have every opportunity of getting new clients in this field and doing the actual productions justice. Theatre production design seems very similar to Promotional design, of which I'm very experienced.
