Gaslamp Brasserie
& Bar

SERVICES

Gaslamp Brasserie & Bar, Wickersley approached us wanting to update their photography and create social media posts for their Instagram and Facebook accounts. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Gaslamp Brasserie & Bar had been forced to close due to government guidelines.

In May 2021, restaurants were able to open again and Gaslamp wanted to promote their restaurant as well as their new menu. As part of the project, we booked a photoshoot to capture their stunning premises and delicious menu, using fresh photography that shows the restaurant in its best light.

Once the photography was completed, we then started to use the images throughout Gaslamp’s social media posts and graphics. The images we captured help to promote the new menu and create a new interest and buzz around the restaurant’s reopening.

We also updated the Gaslamp Brasserie & Bar website with our new photography, giving it a new lease of life while looking much more classy and modern, helping to bring their brand to the next level of professionalism.

Restaurant and Menu Photography

SERVICES

To begin the photoshoot, we started capturing pictures of the premises and its interior and exterior, covering all of its angles and points of interest so that we had a comprehensive selection of images to use in future marketing projects.

While we were taking pictures of the premises, we set the Gaslamp’s talented chefs on with creating their stunning new menu, ready for when we’d finished capturing the interior and exterior shots.

The chefs brought their new dishes to us in stages so that when we took the images of the food, it was fresh, looked delicious and the best it possibly could.

Along with their new food menu, we also took images of new cocktails and coffees, showcasing the skills of the Gaslamp’s mixologists and bartenders.

As you can see in the gallery below, the images we took look really clean, professional and inviting. Showcasing their stunning premises, staff and menu like never before.

Photography Comparison

To see how much the photography has been improved, it’s important to take a look at Gaslamp’s previous photography. As you can see from the before and after images below, the photography has been improved significantly. The images are brighter, cleaner, well lit and are compositionally better, making them much more attractive, inviting and professional.

The images also look a lot more modern and in keeping with Gaslamp’s clean and classy art deco style.

Social Media Graphics and Management

SERVICES

To promote Gaslamp’s reopening, we created social media graphics using our new photography to help sell the unique experience that Gaslamp Brasserie & Bar has to offer.

The graphics we created are in keeping with their art deco style, using clean lines, relevant font selections and photography, we were able to create impactful messages to promote Gaslamp’s opening events while pushing their brand throughout each post.

Visually impactful social media graphics are fantastic for promoting the events, as they’re being shown to a captive audience as well as potential customers. Getting your customers to interact is the key to getting your post seen on social media, as the more interactions the post gets, the more people it will reach, the more interest it will generate.

Below, you can see the improvement we’ve made to their social media graphics, making them much more luxurious, professional and creative, as well as using our photography to help promote the message and experience of the restaurant.

WEBSITE PHOTOGRAPHY UPDATE

SERVICES

Once the photography was complete, we then updated the Gaslamp website with their all-new photography, giving it a fresh new look and helping to sell the unique experience.

As you can see in the comparisons below, the website’s look and feel have been improved significantly. The website looks much more professional, brighter and less dated, through the use of clean and classy images.

Client feedback

“Thank you to Idea Design for their fantastic photography for The GasLamp. They were professional from start to finish and really worked with us to get the best photos possible.

The attention to detail was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. They stayed late to make sure they had the correct amount of photos, working with different lighting to create the correct ambience and mood, capturing the right moments to portray the best of the restaurant.

I would highly recommend Idea Design for any business.”

The Grange Trust

The Grange Trust

SERVICES

Bramley Grange Primary School, based in Rotherham, approached Idea Creative Design Studio needing a logo and brand design for their newly established Trust.

The branding project aimed to create an environment that inspired positivity and highlighted The Grange Trust’s vibrant learning community through the use of impactful design, professional photography, and printed marketing material.

The branding project is a continual project within the Trust, always looking for new ways to promote and reinforce the values and ethos that the Trust instils in its pupils.

Throughout this portfolio, you will see the individual projects we’ve worked on, help to create a positive learning environment that The Grange Trust prides itself on.

Logo and Brand Design

SERVICES

The first step of the branding project was to create the logo mark for The Grange Trust. It was vital to create a logo mark that was easy to scale so that it could be used on a whole range of marketing material, school uniforms and signage throughout the school’s premises.

When creating the logo mark, we opted to use only a few colours and a simple graphic so that it could be replicated with ease and remain consistent wherever and whatever the logo was placed on.

The icon used in the logo mark represents a grange while also creating the form of a ‘G’, to help reinforce the grange message. The colours used are bright yellow and royal blue. These colours compliment each other while reinforcing the values of The Grange Trust as a vibrant learning community.

Website design and build

SERVICES

The next step of the branding project was to create a professional online presence for the Trust. The website plays an important role in keeping parents up to date with term times, activity schedules as well as important information regarding the school and its staff.

The website acts as a 24 hours a day, 365 days a year information platform for parents and the first port of call for any parent who’s interested in having their child attend The Grange Trust. Once parents are viewing the website, they can get a sense of the vibrant learning environment the Trust provides, as well as reinforcing the values and ethos that it instils in its pupils.

RESPONSIVE WEBSITE FOR PHONES AND TABLETS

Today, more than half of all web traffic is mobile. This is why it was paramount that The Grange Trust’s website was made responsive, to cater for smartphones and mobile devices.

Once we had built the main desktop website, we created versions for both tablet and mobile, making sure that the website is always visible to its users.

This responsive design ensures that no matter what device the website is viewed on, the website will always display correctly and be optimised for each device, giving a seamless user experience.

The website is a CMS (Content Management System) which allows The Grange Trust to create and manage their own website content. This gives them the flexibility to maintain their website and make content changes as and when they need to.

PARENT HANDBOOKS

SERVICES

As part of a child attending the school, The Grange Trust provide a handbook for the parents which outlines the values of the school, the expectations the Trust has of the parents and children, as well as general information about the school and staff.

The handbook also includes pupil information forms for the parents to complete in order for them to have their child attend the school. Other pages include parental approval forms, pupil consent forms and data protection forms.

This handbook was designed using The Grange Trust’s colour palette, along with impactful typography, graphics and photography to give an informative and strong visual impression that’s consistent with the rest of the Grange Trust’s branding.

STAFF PLANNERS

SERVICES

The Grange Trust’s staff were using ‘off the shelf’ planners which they felt were overly complicated and included irrelevant pages. The Grange Trust asked us to create a custom staff planner that was completely unique to their Trust and its staff.

These staff planners include 100 custom pages that show term times, vision statements, key dates, key policies and teaching aids, as well as useful information and codes of conduct. These planners also provide a day to day planner section which shows a week per page. Each page has lined sections for each day where staff can write any notes or tasks to do. 

The planners also come wiro-bound and with a polypropylene cover which makes them very hard-wearing and durable.

SCHOOL RULES POSTERS

SERVICES

As part of creating a positive learning environment, we also created some simple posters that are placed around the school, outlining basic rules for pupils to follow.

These school rules posters help to reinforce your schools rules on a daily basis. These types of posters act as an influence on the day to day lives of the pupils helping them to be respectful, safe and kind to others around them.

These posters are A4 in size and come with mounting brackets and a glass cover so that the important messages are kept safe and are long-lasting.

Cool Kids Club Graphic and Flyers

SERVICES

The Grange Trust offers extracurricular activities to its pupils before and after the school day. As part of this, we were asked to create a graphic for their new ‘Cool Kids Club’ activity group. The graphic helps to reinforce the aims of the club, creating a fun, engaging and active environment for pupils who attend the club.

As part of the club’s promotion, we created a flyer that lists all of the activities on offer along with the related prices. This flyer has been distributed to parents and the school has seen a large number of its pupils attending the club, before and after the school day.

SCHOOL PROSPECTUS

SERVICES

As part of the main branding of The Grange Trust, we created a 12-page prospectus that shows information about the school along with its curriculum. 

The prospectus helps parents to get an insight into the atmosphere, ethos and values of the school as well as what to expect once the child attends school.

The design of the prospectus incorporates the bright yellow and blue of The Grange Trust’s branding as well as using impactful typography and professional photography to help reinforce the message of the Trust, showing that it’s a vibrant learning community and a positive environment for its pupils.

VISION STATEMENT POSTERS

SERVICES

Creating a positive environment for the pupils and staff has been an important factor in The Grange Trust’s branding project. To keep pupils and staff inspired and in line with the Trust’s vision, we created a set of vision statement posters that are displayed around the school. They’re also a great way to let parents and visitors know how the school carries itself, along with key messages to reinforce its goals.

These vision statement posters list various points to show how they intend to implement an excellent educational experience for its pupils. The poster is also backed up by a graphic that was created as a separate project known as ‘Bramley Beliefs’. These beliefs encourage pupils to be independent, respectful, motivated and resilient.

SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY

SERVICES

In order to show The Grange Trust’s positive environment and atmosphere, we did several photography sessions at the school. During these photography sessions, we captured images of the pupils, staff and their learning environments to show how uplifting the school and its pupils are.

These images really captured the atmosphere at the Trust as a positive, friendly and uplifting place to learn. The bright yellow of their branding was used across the uniform and it reinforces the brand style that has been created, giving a seamless, strong and consistent brand that reflects the original aims that were set out at the very beginning of the project.

Client feedback

“We’ve worked with Idea for several years now and we’re always impressed with the service they provide. They have helped us manifest our vision for the Trust and the values that it stands for. The brand that they have created brings the school to life and makes a positive impact when parents visit the school. Our environment is bright and friendly, aided by the inspiring posters and messages that are placed around the school. We’d highly recommend Idea to any school wanting to improve their environment and make their school a more inspiring and professional place for their pupils and staff.”

The Fashion Gallery

LOGO MARK, BRAND DESIGN, Photography, Video, Printing, Marketing

The fashion gallery, hosted at Banfield Museum

Showcasing Calderdale Museums’ fashion and textile collections from ancient Egypt to modern day. Calderdale Museums has one of the best but little known textile collections in the country. There are 17,000 objects, collected from all over the world. The collection began when the museum first opened in 1887. It represents the influence of world textiles on local production as well as how local textiles have been exported around and influenced the world. The collection includes significant objects from Ancient Egypt, The Balkans, China, Japan and the Indian Subcontinent.

Bankfield Museum asked us to create a brand and produce a whole range of marketing material for them to promote their amazing and exciting collection. From the brand design, leaflets, banners, exhibition display panels, photography and video production, we’ve worked closely with Bankfield Museum to bring their vision of the Fashion Gallery to life.

A SOLID BRAND

The Fashion Gallery Logo and Brand Design

The first project for the Fashion Gallery was to create the logo and brand that would be used throughout the exhibition. This would then be used across print and online marketing material. Bankfield Museum wanted us to create a simple logo that gave an established yet modern style. For the logo, we used a serif font with consistent sizing and a square footprint, making it easy to incorporate across The Fashion Gallery’s marketing.

As well as creating the logo for The Fashion Gallery, we selected a font that complimented the logo design. We selected a sans serif typeface due to its clean and sophisticated aesthetic. We used both light and bold weights to create contrast within layouts, giving designs more impact.

GET THE MESSAGE OUT

Exhibition Banners

The second step was to produce a range of pull-up and vinyl banners which would be used to promote the opening of The Fashion Gallery exhibition at Bankfield Museum.

The simple brand style was used across all of the printed banners. They display the logo, high quality photography and clear body copy, making them clear to read for all ages.

The high quality photography provides a glimpse of what The Fashion Gallery has to offer. The enlarged image shows a detailed preview of the style of garments on display. This cropped style entices visitors and generates interest around the collection on display in The Fashion Gallery.

bankfield museum fashion gallery leaflet
STAGE THREE

Exhibition Leaflets

We then created a folded leaflet to promote the range of diverse clothing that The Fashion Gallery has in its collection. The leaflet shows a small selection of clothing from the modern-day, right back to ancient Egypt.

The selection of high-quality photography used throughout the leaflet shows clothing of different shapes and sizes. There are ancient garments, shoes, fans, dresses and court clothing, providing the viewer with an insight into the diverse collection on display at the museum.

This six-page, compact leaflet contains a range of professional photography and provides a real taste of what The Fashion Gallery has to offer to its visitors. The leaflet also shows important information such as interesting facts about the exhibition.

The reverse of the leaflet has opening times, a map of Halifax and a national map. This allows visitors to easily locate Halifax in relation to their location. The leaflet is used to promote The Fashion Gallery within other buildings, such as Shibden Hall and Heptonstall Museum.

STAGE FIVE

Exhibition Information Panels

A vital part of the exhibition was the creation of wall panels that display factual context about the items and garments they reside next to. The panels are easy to read, displaying text and images clearly, enabling visitors to digest the content with ease.

Bankfield Museum were really happy with the visuals we submitted for the exhibition panels. The panels compliment the light and spacious exhibition while clearly presenting the information about the items on display.

STAGE SIX

Preview Invite

Before the exhibition opened to the public, Bankfield Museum invited a selection of guests to an exclusive preview of The Fashion Gallery.

The Fashion Gallery brand that we created was incorporated within the invite to give a consistent theme and style. This allowed guests to see the The Fashion Gallery’s branding before the grand opening of the brand new exhibition.

The court dress from the exhibition’s collection was used again to reinforce a consistent style. The reverse of the invite presents the back of the court dress and all of its beautiful details.

invite mockup 1 e1565966448119
STAGE SEVEN

Exhibition Wall Graphics

We created a range of wall graphics that are displayed in the lower part of the exhibition leading up to the top floor, this helps visitors to identify The Fashion Gallery within the museum. The wall graphics are placed in the hallways and stairways in order to peak visitors’ interest as they make their way up to the exhibition hall.

The wall graphics are of fashion plates that range throughout different eras of fashion and a large timeline graphic that presents fabric samples from 100BC to the modern day.

SCALABILITY

Children’s Trail Leaflet

For the younger visitors of The Fashion Gallery, we created a trail leaflet that provides activities and interesting questions relating to items found throughout the exhibition. The trail leaflet is a great way to keep younger visitors entertained on their visit and enhances their overall experience in the museum.

The trail leaflet is a great way for young visitors to learn more about the rich history of fashion, while they answer engaging questions and draw items found on display in the exhibition. As part of the leaflet design, we created a friendly character to make the leaflet appealing to a younger audience.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Museum Exhibition Photography

We photographed each of The Fashion Gallery exhibition rooms and captured close-up images of the astounding details that can be found throughout the exhibition. Our professional photography can be used throughout future marketing, both in print and online.

These high-quality photographs give an excellent insight into this fantastic exhibition, while showing the amazing and diverse collection of fashion items at Bankfield Museum.

Client feedback

“IDEA offered a really friendly, local service to us, they presented a project which we could really get on board with and they gave us lots of different options and created a style and a brand for us that really appealed and listened to what we wanted. I’ve been working with IDEA for a number of years and we go to them because we want something that’s fresh, modern and really showcases our wonderful collections here at the museum. IDEA has given us something we didn’t have before, it really brought us into the modern-day, they offered us a style and concept that we really wanted to get on board with and felt that we could really take throughout the rest of the museum.

Since using IDEA we’ve been able to design a range of interpretation panels, we’ve done and education leaflet, we’ve done a number of label designs as well, we’ve done a marketing campaign around the fashion gallery, we’ve done outdoor banners, we’ve really done a whole suite of marketing materials that we’re really happy with.

I’d recommend IDEA because they’re small, friendly, they really listen to what you want and provide a very competitive price.”

LOGO MARK AND BRAND DESIGN

Herstory logo mark, brand design and marketing material

We were contacted by Victoria Ryves of Heritage Doncaster, wanting a logo design creating for Herstory, a group of women who are retracing the steps of inspirational women from Doncaster’s past.

Herstory aims to encourage women to meet new friends and be inspired by women of the past. The group meet on a regular basis and share stories while examining objects from Heritage Doncaster’s museum collections. The group recently took a trip to London and retraced the journeys made by Doncaster Suffragettes, such as ‘Railway Suffragette’ Violet Key Jones.

Once in London the group visited key London landmarks including Downing Street and Trafalgar Square and saw the statues relating to some of the women they had learned about. The group also went on a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament that culminated with the opportunity for the group to meet their MP, Caroline Flint.

We wanted to create a design that portrayed a strong and positive message, a message that all women could relate to and be a part of. The message used ‘Sisters lift each other up’ is a supportive message that inspires women to help each other when they’re in need of support. This message also clearly communicates the group’s ethos and values.

Customer

Herstory

What we did

  • Logo mark design
  • Brand design
  • Printed marketing material design
STAGE ONE

Creative workshop with Herstory

To get a clearer vision of what Herstory had in mind for their design, we attended one of their weekly meetings, talking to the group and interpreting their thoughts and ideas of what the design should include. The group decided that the design should include a supportive message, a message that all women can support and be a part of.

The message that was decided on was ‘Sisters lift each other up’, a supportive message which the design needed to reflect. The group discussed colours schemes and decided that the design should be modern but still relate to the history of women and women’s rights.

The colours we decided on were purple and green, the colours of the Suffragettes, linking Herstory to their values, beliefs and legacy.

STAGE TWO

Initial concept creation

Once we had a clear vision of what Herstory had in mind for the design we started to lay down some initial concepts in the design workshop. We created a multitude of concepts using different layouts, graphics and icons to help reinforce the message that Herstory wanted to use in their design. After we had enough concepts we presented them to the group for their feedback and thoughts.

The response was very positive and they were very happy with the concepts that were created. We asked the group to pick a couple of designs that we could take forward to refine and finalise.

After the design workshop with Herstory, we headed back to the design studio and started to work the chosen design concepts into a digital format so that the design can be used online and on printed marketing material.

STAGE THREE

Creating a strong logo mark and effective branding

From the chosen concepts, we started to create them digitally, using the chosen ideas and message to give a more refined and completed logo. We wanted to create a positive message and make the design friendly so that it appeals to a wide audience and portrays the correct message.

We used a sans serif font that really suits a modern, clean and friendly style as well as creating a graphic that has smooth lines and rounded edges, helping to reinforce the approachable feel. The colours were carefully selected after researching the Suffragette movement and the style they used in their promotional artwork.

The selected colours complement each other perfectly and also link the design to the history of women’s rights. The design you can see below is the design that we submitted to the Herstory group. A modern and clean design that portrays a friendly and supportive message.

BRAND GUIDELINES

Herstory brand guidelines for consistency

When it comes to building a memorable brand, the devils in the details. Consistency is key, our brand guidelines will allow Herstory to grow their businesses branding while keeping their voice and design style consistent, this reinforces their marketing and creates a company brand that sticks in the minds of your target audience.

VISITING PARLIAMENT

Herstory’s visit to Parliament

Once in London Herstory visited key London landmarks including Downing Street and Trafalgar Square and saw the statues relating to some of the women they had learned about. The group also went on a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament that culminated with the opportunity for the group to meet their MP, Caroline Flint. While visiting all of the landmarks and Parliament, the Herstory group wore their bags with the design that we created for them printed to the face of them. As you can see, the group were happy to show off their bags in every photo opportunity, to help spread their message of support and positivity.

Client feedback

“Lee and Ben really knocked this design out of the park! The Herstory group were blown away with the final design and how Lee and Ben interpreted the message the group wanted to portray. They stuck to the brief perfectly and it’s exactly what the group had in mind for the design. Thanks for another great project guys!

Desktops, laptops and smartphones, it works

The key to success with any website is the creation of a design and layout that’s not only memorably to visiting customers, but easy to navigate, no matter if customers are viewing the website on a large screen PC or a small screen smartphone, that’s where our responsive website design comes into play.

Each website will scale to fit a large screen or smaller devices where text sizes are increased for small screens, images are reduced and content on the page reformats its position on the website to better fit within the confined space available.

J&J Crump & Son’s website is designed to work on large desktop displays and will also scale down to smaller smartphone and mobile device screens such as tablets with unique layouts.

Client feedback

“We’ve worked with IDEA Design for many years and have always been happy with their work.

The past 18 months saw a period of massive growth for J&J Crump & Son. As well as having an increased requirement for great artwork, creative design and engaging marketing materials, we realised that we also needed to give our website a fresh, new feel, suitable for 2020.

Knowing what a huge task this was we weren’t looking forward to it and were a bit daunted by the amount of work involved.

Working with Lee and Ben made at IDEA the whole process was made really easy, the new concept they came up with was perfect, it gave a nod to the long history of the company but brought it bang up to date. The feedback that we have had from all the organisations we work with has been great, and already we are seeing a real increase in the traffic to our website.

Thank you IDEA, you really delivered and made a difference.”

FULLY RESPONSIVE DESIGN

Desktops, laptops and smartphones, it works

KD Davis and Sons had an existing website that they had built themselves over a number of months. They found that while the website did some of the things they needed, it just wasn’t working to its full potential and didn’t provide all the services they would have liked to supply to their customers. We worked with KD Davis and Sons to develop a website that was clean, efficient and provided the fundamental selling tool for any online e-commerce based business. 

To really improve the website beyond just a clean modern layout and design, we also provided our product photography services to really sell the core products to their customers, after all, customers make their decision based on their impressions.

Client feedback

“We approached IDEA to help us to develop our existing website which we had built ourselves over a number of months. We were not completely happy with our efforts or how the website worked as well as the amount of time we were spending on trying to improve it. Our website didn’t function how we wanted it to and we couldn’t justify spending more time on it as we needed to concentrate on our day to day business. The website was left for a few months as we didn’t have time to work on it, this is when we got in contact with IDEA.

With this in mind, we set out to speak with a design agency that could take our website to the next level and provide a product that really worked for us. IDEA has been great from day one, informative but avoided the technical terms so that we were all informed throughout. We’re very happy with the final product, it promotes our service and products to our customers effectively and has been a huge improvement to our business. We can honestly recommend IDEA to anyone looking for a new website for their business.”
