Andrew Popplestone — Creative Director

Andrew Popplestone is a Creative Director based in United Kingdom, featured in the Art of Styleframe library of motion design and visual design talent. This profile aggregates selected works documented in the gallery alongside attribution links back to the artist's own portfolio for verified context.

The work gathered here runs to 19 documented pieces, pulled from a wider portfolio that takes in Alice Through The Looking Glass, Avengers_AoU, Dr-Strange, Vampire Academy, each one linking back to Andrew's own site for full credits. Look for 007 FIRST LIGHT, DUNE: PART 2, DUNE: PART 1, NO TIME TO DIE, among others in the gallery; we link out to the maker's own upload instead of copying the frames here. The deeper archive sits at andrewpopplestone.com; what we maintain is a pointer to it, not a copy of it.

Studio credits on these projects include Prologue Films, Momoco, Sarofsky, HUGE, taken straight from how Andrew labelled them. Grouping Andrew by United Kingdom and by actual projects, not by buzzword, is the editorial habit this site has kept since the original gallery.

Who he is and what he does

Popplestone is a British creative director and title designer. His site splits the work into three buckets, Film and Entertainment, Brand and Experience, and Concept and Process, and that third category is the interesting one. He publishes storyboards and concept styleframes for sequences alongside the finished pieces, so you can see the argument as well as the result.

He's directed at Momoco, art directed at Prologue Films, HUGE and Sarofsky, and run design at the HEAD Design and Innovation Lab. Two of his BBC pieces carry awards: The Lady Vanishes took Type Directors Club recognition for typographic excellence in 2013, and Hannibal for NBC won a Royal Television Society Craft and Design award the same year.

Film and franchise work

The current gallery is heavy on large properties. Both Dune films, No Time To Die and 007 First Light, Blade Runner 2049, The Batman, Ready Player One, Ghost In The Shell, Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, Star Wars and Swan Song all have project pages. Games appear too, with Starfield Chronomark and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales.

That's a specific kind of career. Screen graphics and titles for science fiction and spy pictures need a designer who can invent a fictional interface language and still keep it legible in a two-second cut.

Brand, experience and television

007 Elements, the Bond installation, and Kingdom of Dreams sit on the experiential side, as does the Jurassic World Dominion activation. Coca-Cola Zero Words is the one straight advertising credit in the gallery.

His television back catalogue, documented in the archive below, runs through Momoco: main titles and concept boards for The Newsroom, The Game, Klondike, Dracula, Fortitude and The Counselor, plus Hannibal and The Lady Vanishes. Thor's main title came out of Prologue Films for Marvel Studios, and the Into The Badlands and Constantine concept styleframes were made at HUGE.
