2010-02-22 15:15:17

The Pelican Tea Club are an excellent Jazz Quartet in Cardiff. They perform at numerous weddings and functions throughout the UK.

The band wanted a logo which they could use as a holding page on their website and also in their marketing material.

Marti Pellow Official Website

2010-02-22 14:54:57

This project required something special - an interactive and engaging site that embodied Marti’s composed and collected ethos, but with a slightly darker edge to his previous incarnations. James Bond with Bite!

The concept we decided upon was a room scene filled with mysterious objects, acting as the sites navigation. When an object is selected, the user zooms into the item to find a section of the site. On returning to the site, the user is now looking at the same room scene, but from the POV of the object. A photo shoot on location in London, featuring Marti and his Wife, was taken especially for the site.
