View Creative has been working with The Royal Albert Hall, since 2014 and we were lucky enough to roll out their new branding and communications in 2015. This was the first update for the Hall for over 11 years and they wanted to reflect a modern new era for arts and entertainment. The work included, press adverts, underground posters, way finding and signage, cafe menus, corporate and annual reports, fund-raising brochures, merchandise, street signage and poster sights.
