Concept work

Modular production systems, built for cycle speed.

This page covers speculative and self-initiated concept work from the Creative practice. Each piece is built as a reusable production system, designed to generate localised variants in days without losing message discipline.

Live research and intelligence engagements involve confidential client material and are never published as case studies. Demonstration files built on historical, non-live public-record subjects are available during discovery.

  • Motion

    Referendum explainer

    Concept

    Local referendum, mobile vertical placement

    A fifteen-second vertical spot built to explain what a vote actually changes, in a format where the first two seconds decide whether there is a third.

    • Type-led opening built for retention on a mobile feed
    • Disclaimer slot that reflows for narrow crops
    • One timeline producing both six- and fifteen-second cuts
  • System

    Municipal campaign identity

    Concept

    Local election, small campaign team

    A visual identity system designed for fast asset production by a team of two working under campaign pressure.

    • High-contrast palette and type, legible on street signage and mobile feeds
    • Templates that fail loudly when a required field is left empty
    • Contrast tested against light and dark feeds
  • Variant set

    District variant matrix

    Concept

    Multi-district coalition campaign

    One approved static populated across districts, each carrying its own local line and its own source.

    • Batch population from a structured manifest rather than file by file
    • Per-variant proofing against the approved master
    • Manifest mapping every export to its claim and citation
  • Static

    Record card

    Concept

    Opponent record, paid social

    A single frame carrying a claim about a voting record, with the citation designed to be read rather than hidden.

    • Citation treated as a design element, not fine print
    • Legible at the crop the platform actually serves
    • Every visual claim traceable to a parliamentary record
  • Motion

    Launch film opening

    Concept

    Campaign launch, first week

    The opening thirty seconds of a launch film, built in modular blocks so the order can change as the campaign learns.

    • Sectioned timeline, each block independently swappable
    • Clean picture and open-caption versions from one build
    • Separate audio stems for voiceover changes
  • Static

    Late-cycle adaptation

    Concept

    Final fortnight, mobilisation

    An existing frame adapted for the closing stretch, where the change is copy and urgency rather than a new design.

    • Turned around inside a day from an approved master
    • Countdown and location fields as named slots
    • Disclaimer variant switched by value, not by hand
