Challenges

Working on NetworkChuck presented
some interesting challenges:

1

Chuck wanted to create a retro-futuristic theme around his brand.

2

Create a compelling, & meaningful brand narration that synchronizes with NetworkChuck's mission, audience, and Chuck himself.

3

NetworkChuck is an established brand followed by more than 2 million people. Handling the rebranding was tricky cause it meant ensuring the existing subscriber base would not feel disconnected from the new brand.

4

Once we had an idea of the brand narration we wanted to move ahead with, the next goal was to translate the narration into a visual story through our hand-drawn illustrations inspired by the future representation of the 80s.

Our Approach

1

We started by taking the entire existing brand apart, piece by piece, & went through the existing assets and narration.

2

Second, we initiated an in-depth analysis of the brand to understand the concept arc that the client wanted to paint. We studied the ins and outs of the retro-future theme and how we can make it compatible with NetworkChuck's persona.

3

Create a narration and mood board of what the retro-futuristic theme will look like visually.

4

Once the narration and mood board were approved, we moved to translate the mood board and narration into a website experience. This included incorporating a blend of things, such as; Chuck's personality, the story arc, & the illustrations that were to go with it all.

5

The last piece of the puzzle was reimagining Chuck's new avatar and how we wanted to represent him to his audience and the visitors on the website.

6

With Chuck's approval, our team quickly shifted towards developing high-fidelity illustrations of the concept art that we had created to deliver an experience that is worth enduring.
