Cornwall and Devon Tourist Guide Website

-
Attractions in Devon
The challenge with this project was to take a successful printed guide and turn it into a user friendly online resource. The Tourist Handbook is a publication which sits in Hotels, B&Bs and pubs, providing useful area guides and local advertisers. The client wanted to take this resource and make into a website which would both showcase advertisers and inform tourists.

We worked with the existing design, carrying across the colours and style but striving to adjust the look to comfortably fit its new media. The website needed to display events in the various areas, along with accommodation and area guides.

Attractions in Cornwall
The site focuses mainly on attractions in Devon and Cornwall and is proving a success. We designed the website so it could evolve with the client's vision, and contain large amounts of information within the database. With the design I chose a classic font and a traditional palette of British racing green, cream and black. The adverts and illustrations conform to this tight colour scheme as in the printed guide so as to keep that visual link.

New Branding for Cornish Fudge Company

Buttermilk Shop wanted a fresh contemporary look for their Cornish fudge company, but essential in the brief was ensuring that their primary market was not alienated during the change. This is a challenge we face with many projects, as the years spent building up a customer base are not to be taken lightly. We came up with a clean typographic solution which could be placed onto different colours to reflect different flavours on the packaging. This is accompanied by a small line drawing, reflecting the Cornish coastline. The vector image is key to the connection between old and new, a crisp modern style of illustration representing the long tradition of Cornish fishing ports where the Buttermilk shops are located.

Brand design has moved in new directions in recent years, and with the advent of mobile internet, promises to develop into ever new unexpected formats. Twitter has snowballed in recent months, and continuing our clients' visual identity here is also important. Above is the custom Twitter background that we created for Sean Maher's Twitter feed. It carries his brand for the charity bike ride, Riding Out The Recession, where he will be heading from Cornwall to Cape Town. It carries artwork from the website we are currently putting the finishing touches on, and his new logo. Make sure you keep an eye on his progress, we will put updates on our blogs and Sean will be both twittering and blogging as he travels.
