We were approached by Sarah Martin of the Environment Agency to help with some initial illustration and design for a public consultation event for the Pevensey Bay to Eastbourne Coastal Management Scheme. A year on, we have now worked on four sea defence schemes.

Sandown sea defence improvements - during construction and the finished project

An image showing the construction of the proposed Sandown sea defence improvements and how the sea front and beach will be effected while under construction.

In all projects with the Environment Agency, it was important to portray the scene in a reasonably realistic and factual way. The council, the public and businesses in the area need to easily understand how the project will affect the beach and other public areas, such as the promenade, during construction and then what the improvements will look like completed.

After the initial briefing we took reference shots and drone footage that gave us the flexibility to provide a choice of viewpoints for the final illustrations. The drone footage gave us the elevated viewpoints required for both Sandown and Shanklin sea defence projects.


Once the camera angle was approved, we imported the image into C4D to camera track the footage which then provided us with a base to start creating the more technical parts of the sea defences — walls, railings, seating, vehicles, cofferdam etc. This was mapped in over the image. The background areas were created in a more traditional illustration format and all elements were pulled together to create the single images.

initial black and white line works

Before we proceed with the final illustrations we provide line works of all the elements pulled together, which allows for amends to areas that may need clarifying and correcting. We take care over local features, for example the clock tower and promenade shelters here, and the technical features of the wall construction, such as the concrete forms and cofferdam.

Pevensey Bay to Eastbourne Coastal Management Scheme

Coastal Vegetated Shingle


This stretch of the UK's coastline has many shingle beaches. Part of the solution to protect properties from flooding and to help the ecology of the area is to encourage plants that grow naturally on these stretches of beach and coastline. This in turn helps to build up the banks of shingle by binding the shingle together. However, these areas require protection from overuse and damage from vehicles as these plants take time to develop.
