The brief

Wiltshire Creative is a vibrant arts and education charity bringing together the energy of Salisbury Playhouse, Salisbury Arts Centre, and Salisbury International Arts Festival. They produce year-round events and performances for audiences of all ages across Salisbury and beyond.

For the 60th anniversary of Stage 65 Youth Theatre, Wiltshire Creative asked us to design the title treatment and show artwork for their summer production of The Jungle Book. This wasn’t a traditional retelling, they needed a bold, celebratory design that captured the production’s vibrant, playful spirit.

Our approach

We started with a collaborative call to dig into the brief and understand the creative direction. Set in a colourful, magical jungle, with surprises like a disco ball-swinging monkey, the show was full of energy, and the artwork needed to reflect that.

Getting into the jungle mindset

We explored references from other productions, gathered jungle-themed inspiration, and considered typography and colour palettes that would reflect the show’s upbeat tone.

There is a large open book with flailing pages with a gold shine radiating from the middle of the book upwards.

Refinement and enhancement

With feedback from the Wiltshire Creative team, we built out the chosen direction. Making the colour palette more vibrant, enhancing the depth and adding dynamic shadowing for more dimensionality.

A playful theatre season

We created three initial design routes, each using layered jungle scenes to create depth and movement, with different visual textures and focal points.

Designed for flexibility

The artwork was created with adaptability in mind, so it could work seamlessly across both digital and print formats.

The Spring/Summer 2025 brochure received fantastic feedback from the Wiltshire Creative team and their audiences. The format was praised for its creativity and clarity, with the dual-front cover concept and rich visuals making it more than a brochure: it became part of the experience.

We’re excited to continue supporting Wiltshire Creative, with plans to extend our design work into their show programmes. By building on this creative momentum, we’ll help bring more of their events to life across multiple formats.
