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.
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.
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 
One of the best uses for architectural visualisation is to create images needed to support planning applications. This set of images was recently produced for a proposed development in the UK, which also involved modelling and placing a 3rd party’s proposed development in order to better see the final street scene. Our rendering software allows us to match the exact camera make, model and lens type and setting used to take the original photograph to ensure even subtleties such as lens distortion are matched in the final render.
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.
We love the short sharp projects here at albino – they’re often fun and invariably unusual.
This was another project where we were asked to provide visuals for use in emailers and flyers, but to be later used in published marketing and advertising, so had to be useable at A4 print quality.
We were supplied with place holder illustrations which we then had to translate into 3D visuals…another occasion where stock photography couldn’t fulfil the brief and where 3D visualisation could give the designer exactly what they asked for rather than compromising.
All of this for budgets similar, if not slightly more affordable, than the stock library imagery!
