Distilling the message

Our script encapsulated the brand and their message, distilling into an engaging and concise narrative. From this we created a storyboard, which broke down what we would see scene by scene.

We then invested time into higher definition renders of the 3D visuals. Selecting a few static scenes so Cerys could be confident of the final look and feel before production.

New identity

Our colour palette was inspired by nature and utilised minimalist design elements, such as clean lines and ample white space, to communicate both scientific professionalism and environmental consciousness.

Clarity and refinement

The principles of clarity and functionality are key to our design. Utilising uncomplicated layouts with intuitive navigation, our website allows visitors to easily access information about the product’s scientific features and environmental benefits.

We delivered interactive workshops on sustainable fashion and the science behind the biodegradable fabrics to engage our sashion industry audience.
