Art Direction, Design & Identity for a special series on the use of solitary confinement in prisons to accompany a Guardian virtual reality simulation of 6ft x 9ft prison cells.

This included posters, trailers for social media, and a 360 edit of the experience.

A challenge of this project was to promote the experience with engaging visuals whilst avoiding relying on photography - it was a VR experience so photography had it’s limitations.
