The Infrastructure Projects

[Strawberry Avenger]

Seen some of the imagery released.

Got to be honest, I think it looks 'kin awful. Mess of an outdoor shot which offends the eyes, really tacky 70's brown interior shots which look like something out of Anchorman which would house "Sex Panther".

Hope they're really early drafts.

The retro modern brown wood with pictures of the glory years seems in keeping to me.  Adds a bit of warmth and nostalgia to the 'modern' (which can be...clinical and lack an anchor.  i.e. flat pack anywhere.  The IKEA-isation or Apple store chic clinical.)  A clear reference to the time they were achieved.  Whilst the rest of the hospitality has 'that' modern look.  I'm fine with a bit of 'both.'

The exterior pattern of red and white bricks is a little bright and pattern-y.  (Even the iconic Forest logo gets a bit lost in the translucent brick pattern.)

It's all very modern. And that can be challenging.  I could get used to it.  It's far better then the dated and tired ground Forest currently have.  The modernisation reaches all aspects of the ground under this part re-development part refurbishment?

Pre-vis' is too give an idea of something and computer graphics can be a bit clinical.  Ie.  Bright and perfect.  That's computer graphics and arch' vis' for you.

That said.  I like the promise of it.  And these visuals give that.  A vision for the future.  It's modern and forward thinking.  Progressive.  Yes.  Challenging.  And that can be painful.  But Marinakos reign will be a 'no pain no gain' era.  Forest have been stuck in the past.

I'd probably create a plainer area around the Forest Logo where the pattern bricks fade out or are less of them around the immediate area of the logo to let it stand on it's own...and that would give more impact to the rest of pattern elsewhere whilst letting the logo stand out.

If you were to offer me those pre-vis' now vs the tired ground?  I'd take it.  It's a 'brighter' future.

Overall.  Good job on the pre-vis'.  The fans have a feedback form on the website.  And as Marin' says, 'You're invited to comment.'
