Design Cardiff: A Creative Hub
Image is everything. And perhaps one place that knows this more than any other is the capital of media and design: Cardiff. The Welsh capital began life as an industrial town. It has literally transformed in recent years to put the fire back into the Welsh dragon with expansive renovation and regeneration projects. It’s now known as home of Wales’s media, boasting primetime TV shows Torchwood and Doctor Who, as well as being home to celebrities including Charlotte Church. It’s not surprising then that the knock-on effect of becoming a capital of culture has impacted on the strength and quality of other creative industries, design in Cardiff is booming as more industry and business is attracted to the young, hip vibe of the city.
Design, Cardiff Rocks
The secret of a great design company lies in their ability to create clear, strong brand identity, as well as effective marketing strategies that utilise different multi-media in an age of media fragmentation. Image and design, Cardiff knows, is the secret behind success. The city has promoted itself as the very image of modern Wales, symbolised by the striking Wales Millennium Centre - the famous home of Torchwood who set up camp under the building to deal with menacing aliens coming through the rift in space and time! Cardiff has the biggest media sector in the UK outside of London as well as being home to several television studios and radio stations it’s witnessed the rise of other related sectors, including design.
Cardiff – Putting the glamour into Wales
What makes Cardiff such an alluring capital of culture isn’t just the modern twist, the city has historic depth with sites such as Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch. There is a heady mix of history and modernism in the city’s design; Cardiff is now a big tourist destination, routinely topping tourism surveys and featuring in travel guides. The Guardian newspaper voted it the eighth favourite UK city. Just as its architecture and design, Cardiff has a music scene that embraces Opera to contemporary international rock and pop such as Stereophonics and Super Furry Animals. The city has now firmly established it image as being cosmopolitan and cultured.
