Love Island Promo
For the season premiere of NBC's popular reality dating show "Love Island," we designed a faux weather report...but this ain't your grandma's weather map.
Design Exploration
The assignment? Weather graphics, but make it sexy. In order to portray host Ariana Madix as a weather person announcing a "heatwave," we created all the elements of a traditional news graphics package – a title design, top story headline animation, lower thirds, a mortice, and of course, the weather map. In our quest to capture the steamy summer vibes of the villa, we played around with neon colors and beach iconography.
Iconography
One of the most fun parts of the project was designing icons for the map. We represented typical romantic scenarios from the show using simplistic figures inspired by bathroom signs.
Tying it all Together
In order to create cohesion, we added subtle nods to the set design and branding, including hearts in the background, neon borders, and a transition that simulated flying through the sparkly glass of the logo.
