DBA - Group CollaborationAdam Garbutt, Caitlin Walsh, Grace Buckley, Melissa Gater and Charlie Rotherham.

Four studios that belong to the Design Business Association in the Leeds area set this brief. We had to brand the Northern powerhouse: Capital North which encompassed the four cities on the proposed HS2 train line: Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Hull.

The challenge was creating an identity that could work across all four cities, while at the same time, they appear individual to one another. This was the top winning outcome from it we each won a placement at a studio of our choosing.

DSM - Live BriefAdam Garbutt

This was a brief set by Something More to create a brand identity for a fictional water supplier. Flo was the proposed outcome, with the objective of bringing life into the utility sector through the use of strong colours and a light hearted tone of voice.

This was key to making Flo unique in comparison to the rival water supply companies. Flo was the selected as the top entry for the water supplier outcomes.
