How do you explain a complex problem but also allow people to experiment with solutions? You build a simulator.

Working very closely with a wonderful team at Siemens Energy we designed and developed a game that challenges players to reduce the carbon emissions from an existing energy eco-system. Using strategy to sequencing a variety of upgrades and technologies you can navigate your way through the energy transition process to eventually achieve net zero… but can you do it by 2050?

TAKE THE CHALLENGE

Very cleaver people at Siemens Energy developed a mathematical algorithm to calculate the cost saving and CO2 output by using alternative fuels with existing Gas Turbines.

Vanishing Point was asked to build a user-friendly interface to allow manual adjustment of the parameters. The calculator style had to be in keeping with the host site (www.netzerotc.com) and integrate with WordPress through a short-code. Honestly… this smacked right in the middle of our wheel house.

The success of Energy Island led to a second phase of the project. The concept of Energy Farm was to ‘zoom ‘in’ on the island and focus on the energy requirements of a specific business…in this case a farm. As a result we are able to develop a much more sophisticated app which not only mixed and matched different technologies to power the farm, but also factored in other elements such as weather conditions, the national grid, self sufficiency, running costs, your eco rating and more.

This is a project that pinpoints the essence of what Vanishing Point is all about. Producing cutting edge educational interactivity with a positive message.

Nice little branding job for accountancy firm J K Minerva. Minerva is the greek goddess of wisdom and she is often accompanied by an owl, known as the ‘owl of Athena’ or ‘owl of Minerva’. The client loved the idea of the owl and so after several variations we arrived at the above logo.

Having created the original website for Strike Media back in 2014 it was now time for a smart new site for 2018. The brief was to move away from the (now slightly dated) Pinterest format to more of a boxed led design. The client was very happy with the results and the new site received some very nice feedback!

We work with a number of sexual health charities in the UK and two of the leading organisations conduct a national survey every year called The People Living with HIV Stigma Index. 

“The People Living with HIV Stigma Index provides a tool that measures and detects changing trends in relation to stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with HIV. It aims to address stigma relating to HIV while also advocating on the key barriers and issues perpetuating stigma – a key obstacle to HIV treatment, prevention, care and support.”

Vanishing Point designed and built a promotional website to encourage people living with HIV in the UK to take part in this very important survey.

We recently completed a quite unique app for UK Jewish Film. We were supplied with over twenty C90 cassettes by the Hackney museum featuring interviews with senior members of the East London Jewish community recorded over 10 years ago.

As part of a complete rebrand, Strike Media approached us to handle the design & development of their new website and a pretty awesome idea for an interactive poster.

Starting with the site, Strike were keen to have something fresh & modern that worked in a similar way to Pinterest. A simple to use CMS was essential, as was a responsive design that looked great on mobile & tablet devices. Taking a poster Strike had commissioned by illustrator Edward Tuckwell as our starting point, we were able to come up with a successful look & feel that ticked all the boxes.http://strike-media.co.uk/
As well as the website we also handled the digital side of the Strike Media poster. This 80’s themed poster featured icons from popular movies of the decade with the tagline ‘I want answers’. When this was sent out to the industry the web link at the bottom of the poster would take them to our interactive version of the poster which would launch the movie trailers when you clicked on the icons.

Ten Alps Communicate were looking for a new steer to deliver their award winning road safety club content to reflect new changes in the digital landscape. We were asked to focus on the adaptation of current interactive stories and games into HTML 5.

We delivered Ten Alps with three games & stories, that could be tested with children and parents. You can view that content here. http://www.vanishingpointcreative.com/dev/ctc/

DE-Branded defines itself as a ‘virtual furniture workshop’. It aims to give the customer direct control over designers and manufacturers when purchasing custom made or limited edition furniture pieces. Working with our friends over at Tonic Systems we were briefed to re-brand De-Branded (sorry couldn’t resist) and give the existing clunky site a much needed makeover.
The main challenge for the new site was to design a homepage that explained the concept as simply as possible; display the kind of ‘eye candy’ furniture shots you would associate with a hi-end furniture manufacturer & also retain some illustrative elements from the previous site.

Artful Toddlers is the brainchild of Nina Girling & Alan Moore. An Arts & Craft themed animation series in pre-production. Its unique approach is a powerful educational tool aimed at the under 5s.
Challenged with coming up with the brand for Artful Toddlers, Vanishing Point took itself down to Hobby Craft, bought up half their stock of coloured felt and tissue paper and went about cutting and scanning till the logo started to take shape. As well as the branding we also put together a sales booklet which features character biogs, story outlines and the world of Arts & Craft. We think Artful Toddlers is a fantastic concept and hope to be involved with its success in the coming months and years.

We were briefed by Iain Ovenden of Easel film to create a brand and provide a cms based website. Starting with the logo we quickly realised that the A in easel provided a simple, but effective device for an icon. Moving onto the site design Iain wanted to get across the range of work he covers as well as his years of experience in camerawork. Having provided us with dozens of stills from his many jobs we went about designing the site. We found that by creating an animated collage of screens (‘Sliver’ style) for each section we could get across the broad range of work Iain and Easel film have produced over the years. Also by keeping the design simple and the colour palette fairly neutral you let the work stand out for itself. Overall easelfilm provides a good example of what can be produced with a relatively small budget on a fast turnaround – roughly three weeks for brief to completion.

Having previously known Chris from our days at Beatwax and being involved in their rebrand shortly before he left, we were chuffed when he approached us to look at creating the brand and online presence for his new company, Experience 12. We were in a fortunate position where Chris had a very clear idea of exactly what he wanted. We also knew that to meet Chris’s high standards we needed to pull out all the stops to produce a brand he could be proud of.

Starting with the logo, Experience 12 conjured up images of 1950s b-movies (Plan 9 From Outer Space/Area 51 etc) and seeing as Chris is so closely involved with film and loves film inspired art like mondo we quickly nailed how the logo should look.

Moving onto the site we knew it would be a challenge, as we couldn’t rely on any photography for phase one of the site. It needed to be purely typographical and relied heavily on illustrations. We found the best solution was to create typographic illustrated panels for the company manifesto (much like a traveling medicine man selling his Snake oil on the American frontier). This combined with various fonts and textures resulted in a rich display, that hopefully made the lack of photography a conceptual decision rather than one made through necessity. To conclude Experience 12 proves you can produce a good looking site from just a word file and a client with a keen eye on what he or she wants.

During 2012 we were asked to rebrand the integra initiative website with an emphasis on a easy to maintain content management system. As the project grew there was a need for integra to expand and develop the site this spring.

The new elements of the site include the SARO Project (which shows the expansion of research into Asia), adding the ten new countries involved in the project and creating a more sophisticated resource search facility.

The site has played a key part in the growth of the project and hopefully Vanishing Point will continue to work with IPPF as the project grows over the coming years.
