We have also created some banners which hang from the ceiling in the centre. These banners were created to physically filter light from skylights and audio between levels. They carry inspirational message and hidden meta messages to encourage development in a number of different areas to create a positive legacy. The dandelion seeds blowing in the wind are evocative of capturing wishes and dreams from childhood. The quotations are to encourage pupils to aspire to optimise their potential.Graphic Design, Typography, Interior Design2011 -

An articulate blend of design and marketing principles went into this mailer for a commercial clothing shop and mail order business. The perforated zip on the cover presents the theme immediately and creates an interactive element which, when torn, opens the leaflet up.
Celebrity presence enforces the commercialism while succinct copy presents the messages in a clear, easily digested way.
Cloth textures are overlaid with citrus colours and contact information. A simple, detachable return card is included based on a clothing tag.Print Design, Package Design, Graphic Design2011 -
Identity re-design for an interior design company features an interaction between areas of abstract colour and imagery of the furniture, which the client wished to take centre stage.

Flash game built especially for a trade fair in Las Vegas USA. Users answer a series of questions with the aim of getting the highest score, the user with the highest score each day receiving a prize.
The game requires that all users give their contact details and so is a great tool for creating a mailing list of potential customers.
We created a character / online avatar to present the game in a Las Vegas style gameshow format. The use of a custom soundtrack also adds to the theme.
The game is linked to a database which holds all the user information and scores, and also holds a large number of questions, meaning that there is a large number of possible combinations of questions.
The scoring system uses a multiplier meaning that the more consecutive questions you answer correctly, the bigger your score.
While the game is left idle, the character tries to entice users to play by showing them the prizes available. This is interspersed with facts about the company. This game is playable online at: http://influencedesign.com/perkinsGame Design, Illustration, Interaction Design2011 -
