CHALLENGE

Make the process easy to understand

Mortierbrigade partnered with me to create a way to explain Recupel’s recycling process in a simple, yet memorable way on TV.

The real challenge was making sure people understood and remembered how easy recycling can be with Recupel, using the power of illustration and visual storytelling.

SOLUTION

Use illustration to tell a simple story

After a style exploration round, I created a first set of branded vector illustrations that were designed to be straightforward and easy to understand.

I’d love to hear about your creative goals. Let’s talk.

Three clear steps using visual storytelling

The goal was to clarify Recupel's message in a few seconds. The recycling journey was visualized in three distinct steps using animation, making it easy for the TV audience to grasp:

  1. An old or broken appliance

  2. Gets turned into basic materials

  3. And is used to make a new, useful thing

RESULTS

Signatures that stick

The set of animated illustrations helped transform the recycling process into an engaging and easy-to-follow story. The use of animation is very effective in storytelling.

  • Tim’s illustration style is a great fit.

    Recupel’s new brand illustration style needed to be simple, expressive and flexible. Both client and agency are very enthusiastic with the results — as well as the clear communication and workflow.
