Turner Sims is a respected and well established music venue with acoustics that are second to none in the region. They had ambitious goals to reach broader and more diverse audiences, and to create a diverse and inclusive community through the power of live music.
How do we capture a town and a people shaped by the sea? A place of shipwrecks and stories, myths and makers. Poole Museum wanted a brand that could bring all of that to life, reflecting its ever-changing character, vibrant community and the sea’s enduring pull.
The National Motor Museum holds a unique world-class collection of vehicles. They wanted a brand that would help them share the stories of motoring and the spirit of their vehicles, past and future, in a way that entertains and inspires people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of interest in motoring.

We create design that doesn’t just promote, it pulls people in, builds anticipation, and makes audiences feel something before they’ve even taken their seats. Here’s how ZAP turns your idea into creative that earns attention and keeps it.
Every strong project starts with clarity. We dig into your organisation, your production, your audience, and your goals to uncover the story behind the story. What’s the mood. What’s the hook. Why should someone stop scrolling or walking and actually care. This stage builds the creative foundations, so every choice that follows has intent. No guesswork. No decoration for decoration’s sake. Just smart thinking that sets the work up to succeed.
Once we know where we’re heading, we start exploring how it should look and feel. For show artwork, that often means sketching, experimenting, and testing different themes and compositions before we move into digital execution. We push ideas, challenge safe options, and search for a visual language that feels distinctive and true to your production. The goal is simple: create something that feels unmistakably yours.
With a direction locked in, we build it properly. Visual identities, campaign assets, artwork, and supporting materials are developed into a cohesive system that works everywhere it needs to. Posters, social, print, digital screens, large format. Every piece connects, supports the others, and reinforces the same story. It’s creative with polish and backbone, designed to look good up close and make an impact from across the room.
This is where good creative becomes sharp creative. We collaborate closely with your team, refining messaging, adjusting visuals, and tightening details until everything feels confident and intentional. Every change has a purpose. We’re not tweaking for the sake of it. We’re making sure the final result communicates clearly, hits emotionally, and stands up to scrutiny.
Once approved, we prepare everything for real world impact. Digital, print, motion, large format. We make sure assets are production ready, technically sound, and consistent across every platform. No surprises, no awkward crops, no last minute panic. Just creative that shows up exactly as it should, ready to connect with audiences wherever they meet it.
We create design that helps arts and entertainment brands capture attention, build anticipation, and connect with audiences.
