Working with me

Case Study: Agua Fabrics

I have worked closely with Agua Fabrics for many years. Agua make highly durable yet attractive upholstery fabrics for hotels, restaurants, bars, cruise ship, spas and senior living applications.

They decided to keep their existing logo design, but the rest of their branding needed to be updated. This has included all their printed material, a new website (art directed by me), as well as exhibition stands.

In addition, it was decided to update all of their photographic images to create a consistent look and feel.

I continue to work closely with them on a number of ongoing projects.

Fabric sample shade cards: I redesigned these to clearly identify the high spec technical qualities of the fabrics. These cards are printed by specialist printers who glue the fabric samples to the inside.

Exhibition Stand redesign

Agua asked me to redesign their exhibition stand to bring it in line with the new look and feel of the printed material.

Website Redesign

Agua’s previous website was functional but needed to be upgraded to handle an improved search engine to help customers more easily navigate the huge range of fabrics. I art directed this, working with website designer Guy Primavera at Design by Mito to create a new look and feel. Click on the image below to see it.

Photography

Agua’s existing photography also needed to be reconsidered, and as part of the new website project I reshot all of their 600 fabrics. These images are used across all channels, from print to social media.
