For the past year I've been working with the BSO producing a wide variety of print and digital marketing materials for various outputs. This has included flyers, leaflets, digital billboards, GIFs, newspaper and magazine adverts and even some van graphics. Here are a few project highlights.
Flyers
About
These are postcard flyer designs for upcoming Pops concerts, a category of concerts defined by the performances being of well-known classical or more modern music (think Hans Zimmer).
The Pops brand is defined by the use of circular bubble artwork, which I have adapted into my designs by changing the colours and arrangement to suit the theme of the concert. Primarily, these flyers were to be used for mailing, so it was important to have a set blank space for franking and addressing. I used a light overlay of the bubbles to liven the space up and add a subtle flourish of colour aside from the text, and it worked really well.
I was tasked with creating an A6 flyer for the BSO participate department, who bring music to the wider community through activities, workshops and specialised concerts.
My idea with this flyer was to visualise the idea of people coming together and finding meaning through music. Using the BSO fonts and colours, I used circles as a visual tool to represent people and arranged them so they were all touching, reflecting the idea of coming together and connecting.
Hall of Fame Digital Billboard
This was the first impressive project I took on with the BSO, creating billboards for the Hall of Fame concerts to be shown across Poole, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Exeter. I took inspiration from the flyers I designed to create the billboards, being careful to ensure the artwork was suitable for the format (no white backgrounds on digital billboards!)
Here i’ve included my image of the billboard on Ashley Road in Poole, seeing this in real life was a huge pinch me moment!
Proms in the Park 2024 Campaign
Here are some highlights from the Proms in the Park campaign I helped with this year.
Not pictured are some portrait D6 billboards which were shown all through Bournemouth town centre in the weeks leading up to the concerts.
Christmas and New Year 2024 Campaign
These are just a couple of the projects I did for the 2024 Christmas and New Year campaign.
It was a huge honour to be trusted with the design of their Christmas and New Year leaflet, as well as over 20 other magazine adverts, billboards and GIFs for their 2024 festive season.
