For one night only the entire space at Pallant House Gallery will host a fun, free and informal summer celebration of the vibrant talent of Design Collective Chichester members. There will be great music, delicious ice-cream, local gin and at the heart of the event will be the Design Collective's creative project Wish You Were Here.
Design Collecive Chichester members were set a brief, inspired by the Ivon Hitchens exhibition, to interpret their favourite destinations in and around the city as a postcard image. The results will be revealed in a unique set of more than 50 postcards, generously gifted to visitors to the event, highlighting the charisma of Chichester and its flourishing creative community.
Our team at Method Communications knew we could have fun answering this creative brief and began by enjoying a short trip out one sunny morning to our chosen destination, the Green Bridge in Fishbourne. We chose this location because of its industrial aesthetic, the emerald green metal against the clear blue sky was striking and we all enjoyed taking photographs from different angles to capture the bridges often under-rated features.
The Green Bridge connects Fishbourne with Chichester, linking our residential suburb with the city we love. As a Fisbourne resident we find ourselves walking, but most often cycling, over it several times a week. Making connections is also something that is essential to our work at Method Communications and we had a lively ideas session on how this could be represented in our postcard image. We settled on the concept of using Instagram to promote a place as a destination, realised through a successful 'location' profile for our chosen place.
We are skilful at helping clients to create connections with their audience, whether that be across social media platforms or in the form of newsletters, blogs and on-going marketing campaigns. Our strength comes from our personable team that although small in number, is big in passion and knowledge.
A full set of Wish You Were Here cards will be available at the event in return for a £4 donation.
