Being
able to create realistic and relatable spaces is key to successful set design. One
of our most recent projects can be seen in Wickes’ latest instalment of their ‘Cure
Housebarrassment’ advertising campaign.
As
we already produce the visual content for their kitchen brochures, we were able
to deliver consistency across print, web and TV, aiding their omnichannel
marketing campaign.
Set
design is just one of the creative services our agency offers. With an inhouse
team of Art Directors, Stylist and Creative Producers we create eye catching
marketing content.
We
also offer a TV ad service capable of producing 4k animations and have the
ability to provide location filming with a production team to take care of the
Clearcast process.

Set Visions 360 AR tours are a simple way for your customers to view your product in a virtual showroom without the concerns of social distancing.
Our Augmented Reality solutions have seen an increase in interest due to the current restrictions. There has been an unprecedented boom in online shopping and retailers must now focus on their customer’s online journey to remain competitive.
The simple interface allows consumers to engage with your product in a safe environment. Within the 360 tour, there are ‘hotspot links’ which provides product information and web links to the product shopping page, allowing shoppers to easily switch between the tour or purchasing the featured product.
Set Visions 360 AR tours can be simply integrated into your existing website, saving you time and resources when compared to other solutions. This can be applied to any market, from electronic retailers to kitchen and DIY and one stop department stores.
Now is the time to take advantage of this mobile friendly offering from Set Visions.
Take a few minutes out of your day to check our demo tour and contact the team to see how we can put you ahead of the competition.
The bohemian look is created by combining patterns and textures from around the world to create an effortless yet curated look. The earth tones are colours rooted in nature and used together they can create a calming environment that is on-trend for 2020.
You can achieve this look in your own home by layering up throws and pillows and creating your own macramé or even hanging rugs on the walls.
The bedroom our creatives designed shown below encapsulates the trend perfectly.
The tufted rug, cushion and wall hanging add texture to the space and the warming shades of terracotta and pink work in harmony with the natural wooden floor and concrete coloured walls to create a calming space.
How to style up this look.
- Use a calming palette of earth tones - Stick to natural materials like wool, wood and leather - Layer up textiles that add texture - Hang pieces on the walls to add interest
Due to the restrictions enforced during this pandemic, many
manufacturers and brands are having to abandon their usual routes to market.
Trade shows, showrooms and even the regular visits by the rep are being
superseded by online marketing and ecommerce.
Over the past few months, we have seen a dramatic increase
in enquiries for interactive solutions as brands look for new and meaningful
ways to engage with retail buying teams to showcase new product lines and
promotions.
Set Visions can provide you and your brand with quality
digital content through the use of Virtual Showrooms, Augmented Reality and
Interactive videos as this becomes ‘Business As Usual’.

The past few months has been a challenging time for most people and businesses. Here at Set Visions we have been navigating through the changes brought about by remote working and social distancing, and we are pleased to say that due to their hard work and determination, our team have taken the changes in their stride with little or no loss to productivity.
Many have had the additional obstacle of juggling childcare or home teaching while still trying to maintain an eight-hour working day! Despite this, we have not seen a dip in moral or in the quality of their work and we are grateful to them all.
The Set Visions CGI team have been luckier than most having maintained a full order book throughout the lockdown period whilst picking up new clients. As some of our existing customers went into furlough, the CG team were asked to solve our customer’s photography problems caused by social distancing restrictions.
Our team have continued to work from home as normal creating CG environments and product imagery that would otherwise be unachievable through conventional photography methods.
With positive signs emerging we are keeping our mindset focused on what we are doing, ready to adapt and work with our clients to produce eye-catching content.
With Covid putting a huge financial strain on the creative industry,
agencies are under pressure to deliver content with skeleton staff and squeezed
budgets. Set Visions has a long history of collaborative working with national
and international agencies. We are regularly commissioned by digital, PR,
advertising, and marketing agencies without the end client being aware.
Our CG studio has a flexible approach to production,
allowing us to continuously produce visual content throughout the last few
months.
Social distancing restrictions have been putting a stop to traditional
photography shoots. Our virtual CGI production team have been stepping in,
delivering photorealistic renders, CGI animation and AR solutions. Our key
account managers ensure projects are seamless, acting as extended members of
your team.
Outsourcing is a cost saving solution, adds creative value
and frees up much needed resources within an agency.
If your creative project needs visual support contact the
studio to discuss our flexible and collaborative approach to CGI, AR and Video
projects.
Platforms
such as Amazon and Pinterest have undoubtably been leading the way consumers search
for products online. Brands are taking note of this change in consumer habits, preferring
to search for inspirational product images rather than the traditional text
based search engines.
Image
searching is instantly gratifying, instantly communicates brand values and
shortens the buying process for consumers.
Set
Visions CGI team creates emotive lifestyle and editorial product renders that connect
with ecommerce shoppers, helping to convert the visual enquiries to online sales.
Our
multiple product shots also provide the essential content that is picked up by
search engines, elevating our client’s brand and Google ranking.
With
huge investment in Pinterest Lens and Asos Style Match, brands need to take on
board this change in shoppers’ habits, making visual searches key to their
digital marketing strategy. Our advice is to optimise your images for SEO, add
your alt tags and make your images mobile friendly.
Don’t
be left behind with poor visual content.

your online customers.
AR should be a serious consideration for your sales and B2B strategy. AR is still a new technology to most consumers. This engaging product has been updated to provide an effective interactive customer experience moving the software status from novel to engaging.
Set Vision's virtual 360 tours are a bespoke offering, allowing consumers to be bold with their design choices without committing to a price tag. Below we have created an open plan kitchen and boot room fitted out with the end customer’s choice of kitchen doors, fixtures and fittings. This demo is perfect for kitchen or DIY retailers looking to showcase their products.
The indirect sales tactic gains consumers’ trust and increases the status of your brand.
This process can also be easily integrated into B2B strategy, pitching for renovation work or interior design concepts, even packaging visualisations. The tool can be customised for each pitch, it can shorten the approvals process and put you ahead of your competitors.
The cost effective technology is easy to integrate into existing websites, with the end user just needing a smart tablet or phone to access the immersive tool.
With the average 9 to 5 now on hold, working from home is the new norm.
As workers realise perching at the breakfast bar 8 hours a day isn’t ideal, consumers are turning to online shopping for more posture friendly solutions. A surge in DIY and spatial reconfiguring has seen unused and unloved corners converted to our official home offices.
With the unpredicted surge of online shopping, some retail sites maybe caught off guard by missing product images or dated lifestyle shots that do not reflect the true personality of our nation’s homes.
As budgets are being reviewed, content marketing needs to continue to maintain the conversation with your customers. Increased web time is an opportunity to convert online browsing to purchases.
Our CGI quick turnaround service produces engaging photorealistic images for email, social and website campaigns. Our team just need basic product dimensions and a couple of reference images to get started.
As the unforeseen restrictions firmly stay in place, CGI photography is a great imagery solution to the traditional go-to studio shoot.
The Set Visions CG team is fully up and running, working remotely with minimal disruption to the production schedule. Our project managers ensure clients are kept updated so they can have maximum input from the safety of their homes.
We believe content marketing is key to maintaining a relationship with your customers. To find out more info about our cost-effective service contact the studio to arrange a call from our team.
Our ‘how to’ videos are a tool to inform and educate professional trades people. Engaging and informative instructions build brand trust and fitters more likely to recommend their product to the homeowner. As our client, Wickes sell direct to public it is important their product can easily be installed by professional fitters.
Here our team produced a fitting video to support the launch of a new product for the national kitchen retailer. The stripped back animation style allows the fitter to focus on the task in hand with cut aways and captions to break down the concept.
We worked closely with our client’s product design team to ensure each step is technically correct and true to life. The animation is designed to be paused at any time which allows each step to be reviewed.
The instructional video was created to sit alongside the launch of Wickes new handless concept range. Set Visions was integral in setting the art direction apart from their usual brand imagery; creating photorealistic renders of aspirational room set which reflects the sleek design concept that has a higher price point.
This content then created a base for the supporting brand focused video that was produced for social. To discuss your own multichannel approach, contact the studio to arrange a more in-depth conversation about your marketing campaign.
