Background

I’m happy to say that for many years now I’ve been working closely for  The Idea Works as a freelance designer.

They’ve given me a number of very exciting projects to get my teeth into and one was the Islands Insurance re-brand.

Having initially delivered stage one of the re-brand – i.e. logo and new corporate identity etc, (please see other posts on this site ref Islands) and BEOFRE we could progress to stage 2 advertising, there was a need for immediate on-new-brand advertising.

Year 1.: ASCii Illustration campaign

My solution was to take a very much now old-school approach to illustrating the simple propositions – but by keeping it all totally inline with the new corporate identity.

Solution: a form of illustration that perhaps a younger generation may not recognise – but one that is based in the early years of computers and their ability to form graphics. Essentially – this is again, a “Brutalist” approach to design – retro design whilst keeping it simple and upgrading it to the 21st C.

After-all, simplicity, particularly with advertising, is the key.
