Another CGI stroke graphic design job for a client. This time we had an aerial shot in which to composite our CGI buildings – we do love this sort of thing! We only had building footprints from which to work our magic, so we made some buildings up after a brief from the client, used materials to complement the surrounding existing buildings and produced a brochure we’re very happy with.
A graphic design agency we work closely with asked if we could produce a length of tartan to wrap around a van design they were working on. All we needed was the van make and model to get the right dimensions, set the computers all the way up to 11 on the size dial and wait a few hours until it was cooked 
Another project where albino igil carried out the CGI for the front cover and the graphic design for the brochure. Have we told you we can juggle as well?
We’re so wasted.
As you’re probably aware, many of our property developer clients also like us to provide them with the necessary graphic work to support the CGIs. The aim of this project was to replace the existing folder that carries the development details with a new and fresh design.
Here’s another piece of graphic design for a commercial property client. albino igil was asked to produce a light brochure for this development in Grimsby, the final product being printed both digitally and traditional lithographic for two separate marketing events.
We’ve done a fair few brochures for developers, who come to us for our mix of graphic design and 3D visualisation skills. This client wanted something a bit different from the usual CGI offering of ‘building by day’ or ‘building by night’.
Playing on the fact that the major selling point for this development is its proximity to the transportation network, we chose to show this network in a striking way.
First came the aerial photography of the site. Then, as most of it was still dirt and the roundabout was unfinished, we had to rebuild the landscape on computer. We then used satellite photographs of the area to trace over and reproduce the road network in our 3D software which we then used to throw thousands of little tiny lights down the various roads (yes, we do have god-like power when it comes to our little 3D world). We then turned the day shot into night (there we go again), and montaged the light streaks into the shot. A bit of graphic design to hold it all in place and there we have a very untypical brochure that will stand out on the shelves.
Lovely
As you’re probably aware, we’re not limited to 3D imagery. Whilst that’s our speciality, we’re also adept in the scary world of print…for those who care, we know how to translate RGB to CMYK…yes, I know, it’s a dirty job, but we wear special gloves when we’re doing it…
This is a piece of sales literature for a regular client – albino produced the whole project from onsite photography to design through to print. We’re often asked to produce the CGI along the way but this building speaks for itself…a simply beautiful piece of history in the heart of Nottingham.
From the posts in our blog you might be forgiven for wrongly surmising that the hutch has been quiet. We’ve completed CGI projects which unfortunately we’re unable to share with the world due to NDAs, but they were fun! However, this project is one we are allowed to show – a development on Derby’s Pride Park site for a local company where we produced the CGI and graphic design for marketing literature in a contemporary style. We were allowed to play, so away went the Lego bricks (have I mentioned that igils like Lego?) and in came the crayons.
albino igil were asked to design the brochure for AK Fitted Interiors, after successfully developing the branding for an associate company. The brochure is to be used throughout their four stores and further enforces their corporate image.
Photography was sourced direct from manufacturers and also provided by albino to suppplement.
The last part of the apartments project was to produce a series of QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movies, allowing a user to travel from room to room over the internet, simply by left-clicking their mouse on the door they would like to enter. Once they are in a room they can left-click and hold down, then moving the mouse around lets them look around the room.
The file we have online is reasonably large (1.8Mb) as we produced it with high-speed connections in mind, but we can reduce this for slower connections.
