Belle Vue and Wagga Display Board

Belle Vue and Wagga Display Board

Today I have received an update for Belle Vue and Wagga display board I designed a few months back, Installation has been complete and the frame and board have been fitted.

Official launch is on the 9^th June for the residents to get together and celebrate.

This display board is only one part of the work that Groundwork have completed in the area. 

I really enjoyed working on this project, it was quite amazing to look at the history one little area in the North-East of England.

The photographs were so interesting to look at. The photograph of the traditional travellers caravan, along with the washing hung on the line, was brilliant with the ghost image of these blowing in the wind, something which is difficult to do with a modern SLR camera never mind and early film camera.

Its great to look back on how people lived, the community spirit which was a close nit society, everyone knew their neigbours and people helped each other out, something which we need more of today.

Cumbria Marketing

And the plan comes together with the vector graphics all in situ at the bottom

Vector Graphics

I have been currently designing some vector graphics for branding on some marketing materials. These design icons/imagery are going to be used for marketing as Groundwork expands into the Cumbria area.

The new office is based in Cockermouth. A list of iconic imagery from the area has brought a few ideas but the suggestion of the brewery is sadly not allowed the list, but probably worth a visit.

Windermere gondola
Osprey
Viaduct with steam train
Carlisle cathedral
Rolling Hills eg.Scarfell Pike, or something similar to create a hilly background
Windturbine (very controversial but there everywhere at the moment)

Some examples below of the first stages of using Adobe illustrator to put together these shapes.

The plan is to have silhouettes in the background using shades of grey, with these images overlapping or creating a scene.

E-commerce Flyer

A freelance project for the Green Infrastructure Team for Groundwork North East creating a small flyer for an e-commerce campaign.

The event to be held at the Blackwell Grange Hotel, is where we went for Christmas dinner.

Final amendments have been made to adjust the layout with the three logos of Groundwork, Hartlepool Council and Town Centre Communities NAP Forum.

I collected the board from the printers and it looks really amazing large scale, can’t wait into its put up in the information stand. Have to wait for the grand opening before I can get some photographs.

Feedback, the community consultation was good, they prefer the layout of the 1st
design and the darker colours of the second, now it’s time for me to combine
the better aspects of the two, plus add some logos and minor text improvements

Above are my 1st draft proposals for a client.

The project to design a historic display board for Belle Vue and Wagga in Hartlepool.
