COVID-19
With COVID-19 hitting the UK in March 2020, signage was key in reminding staff and contractors how to stay safe. We had produced a campaign which included print material and short motion graphics videos that displayed COVID-19 safety messaging on all digital screens across the central section stations on platform edge. A collaboration with Global Media & Entertainment and Transport for London successfully allowed this to happen.
Prior to this when holding open days or stakeholder visits, we displayed information such as facts on the station build, welcoming messaging and dedicated a section to staff that had worked on the project.
Finding an alternative &
providing viewers with
a complete picture
As the UK Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic reaches the end of its first phase, to help let the public see what was to come and with no possibility of physical interaction, we set up a 360 virtual tour that allowed people to have an insight as to what the future Farringdon station had to offer to customers. The tour featured a number of different points of interest, from the stations art programme, embedded videos, quick facts and architecture & design.




The Elizabeth line hub
elizabeth-line-hub.org
The Elizabeth line hub was created for Crossrail staff and contractors to connect.
A central hub for all information for staff was stored here, from key dates, exec-level updates, milestones reached, were all housed and available for everyone under one roof.
The idea was to be able to quickly adapt the campaign throughout
different stages of the project, without drastic changes that make it unrecognisable.
