Five Foot Eight Design came to us in search of CGI expertise to help conjure a little magic for The Donovan Bar’s latest cocktail menu; a fairy-tale inspired journey through classics like Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Alice in Wonderland.

Traditional photography couldn’t quite do it justice, so we crafted a series of richly detailed stills that captured the velvet-lined cases and storybook illustrations in all their theatrical charm for a fitting tribute to the bar’s playful spirit and world-class reputation.

Two black and white hardcover books with intricate line art illustrations, one with a bridge and clouds, and the other with a window and garden scene, set against a dark green background.
Open black and green box with a removable lid, with a green ribbon inside, and a closed green book on a dark green background.
Close-up of a screen displaying the green text "HAPPY EVER AFTER" against a dark background.
Open magazine with a black and white illustration of a snake coiled around a fruit, amid leaves and other natural elements, on a dark green background.
Close-up of a black and white illustrated menu or booklet featuring abstract and floral designs, with text at the bottom reading 'Ron Santiago de Cuba 11 Years, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Cadello, Marsala, F...'.
Open empty planner with bookmark in a tile floor, with closed planner nearby, in black and white.

“I was really taken by the quality of Vijay's work and instantly knew he would be a great collaborator for showcasing the Donovan Bar menu, with his attention to detail on materials and finishes. The whole process was seamless and he really brought the vision to life. He knew exactly the aesthetic and emotion we were trying to achieve with the renders and he captured it perfectly. I can't wait to see what else we can produce together!”
