Campaign Individual


I chose to do an add that could be in a realty magazine or something along those lines. I feel like it is pretty balanced and I incorporated our colors and fonts into the ad to have continuity in all aspects of our campaign. I also put together the style guide, with the help of my team.

Mise en Scene

Production Designer: Grant Montgomery



  • Montgomery begins with hand drawn sketches of the sets. 
  • For the first series, he built 48 sets to create the Birmingham haunts of the Peaky Blinders. 
  • He aimed for more of a western feel in season one compared to more of a gangster feel in season two. The set is based on a dark working class world that is old and post World War One.  
  • Montgomery says it’s a mythology, it’s not strictly historically – it’s not a historical recreation, it’s very much a mythology. 

"We use real brick, we don’t use any vac-form brick in interiors, we build it. All the exposed brick in the HQ, which has expanded [to] double size, all that is real brick, it’s not fake, so when you touch it, it’s real. All the timbers are real. I put ceilings on all of the sets. You create a living environment, so it’s completely closed off for them, so when you walk in, you’re in the world."

Art Director: Nick WilkinsonMake-up: Laura Schiavo
