Steve Kirkpatrick worked closely with Theatre Director Ellie Jay Stevens and DG Arts to create a new brand identity for “Tam: A New Scottish Musical”.
Ellie was looking for a brand identity to represent her new Musical, which is based on the Robert Burns poem Tam O’ Shanter but has a contemporary take, concentrating on the feminine characters.

Artibrand haș designed the latest annual report for Forum of the Future, adding to their previous 6 reports.
This years was slightly different in that the client wanted the pages to be stand along designs, rather than spreads. Also various shortcut links throughout the interactive pdf report along the base of each page as well as key internal page links.

Artibrand designs a new brand identity, website and promotional material for Dumfries and Galloway Cultural Partnership.
The Dumfries and Galloway Cultural Partnership (DGCP) brand identity is designed to reflect the values of the partnership: collaboration, joined-up-thinking, sharing, connecting, combined with a sense of Dumfries and Galloway’s landscape: rolling hills, coastal, with a natural colour palette.

The perfect weather day to install interpretation across East Lothian, as part of the Remember Together Walking Trails on behalf of Remembering Together, Greenspace Scotland, East Lothian Council and partners. Two lectern stands have detailed map routes along the coast at North Berwick and village of Spott. Four freestanding posts contain zinc rubbing plaques with map routes, flora and fauna, to commemorate the walks during Covid at Haddington, Port Seton to Prestonpans, Tranent and Musselburgh lagoons nature reserve.
A big thank you to Eastern Exhibition who did a fantastic job producing and installing the interpretation solutions, designed by Artibrand.

Artibrand designs another annual report for Forum of the Future, working closely with their Mumbai and London offices.
The styling is as per previous editions, with this years theme: “we chose to deepen our focus on energy, food, and the purpose of business; to supercharge our futures work to illuminate positive visions and ways to build resilience and prepare for change; and to maximise our convening power to bring diverse actors together and co-create pathways to get us there quicker”.

Artibrand worked with the Remembering Together East Lothian Team to create 6 trail maps, along with zinc rubbing posts, free standing signs, downloadable digital maps and a printed fold out map.
Steve Kirkpatrick worked closely with the team, which comprised of 2 lead artists, East Lothian Council and a variety of partners associated to each walk. Apart from creating the maps, Steve illustrated a selection of flora and fauna, which you are likely to see on each trail. These are represented on each map and on zinc rubbing posts at the start of the trails.

Local buildings were researched along with images of the towns heritage (coal, steam and shipping) and a skyline was created set against a sunset sky. The foreground displays some of the water birds you might see along the shorefront at Bo’ness: Oyster Catcher, Ringed Plover, Curlew and Cormorant.
This particular design is purely based on flat colours, although the process allows continuous tone (eg. watercolour texture or even a photograph). Where there’s white in the finished design, this will be clear on the end result, allowing light to shine through.

You can also access a PDF case study of the project along with tips on interpretation planning here.
Well, it’s a lot to do with common sense in working with a client to find out their USP, but there is a point where the ‘magic’ happens, which determines the creative approach.
