For a Hackathon competition I designed an app that acts as a job finder and allows anyone seeking a career in journalism or media to register an article for a competition. It is judged by the competition organiser - in this case Metro - who pick the best articles. The winner is given an internship or other role for the media publication.
‘i’ were trying to draw more appeal to the student demographicto own its newspaper. I offered an educational reason to owning ‘i’, forming a weekly competition based website, where any students or older wanting to get their name into editorial can post their own article for a chance to be published in the saturday issue of ‘i’.
The Stage is a British weekly
newspaper, website and app
covering the entertainment
industry, and particularly theatre. It contains news, reviews, opinion, features, and recruitment advertising, mainly directed at those who work in theatre. It was founded in 1880. The company also hosts an annual awards show.
During my time at The Stage I have been responsible for the creation of the core visuals for several sub brand concepts and campaigns - the main visuals being for ‘Supports’, ‘Debut Awards’ and ‘Castings’. I have also produced web banners, infographics and device ads etc. for both the newspaper and digital platforms.
An in-house POS at Big Chill’s venues, this poster shows the unique nature of their cocktail of the month poster ‘Big Tea Party’. I played on the word PARTY (ART) and produced a quirky alternative to the way we view traditional tea parties, using a drinkable paint palette and linking the colour tones as ingredients of the cocktail.
As a Designer in the construction industry, I produced entire proposal documents including layout and review of content. For the proposal covers I tried to capture the structure and essence of the client’s building and it had no distinct appeal then I would present my interpretation of the client’s business or brand instead.
For the duration of the bid proposal process, I designed my own and re-designed existing infographicsthat would best explain key features of the proposal. Photography also played a part creatively where I would take my own photographs of a selection of buildings that otherwise weren’t shown in high-res for proposal materials.
A piece of statistics that on writing may not be so surprising or have massive importance, but used so that it could be visually interpreted into what would in turn be intriguing info. I went for the theme of nature and turning the car wheel into a symbol of that, for which is specifically a flower.
I was branding a number of
organisations including startups and ‘re-branding’ campaigns for more established businesses. To the right are certificates that allow prisoners behind bars the opportunity to be heard and recognised through creative writing. For this I designed an iconography award, medal and certificate set.
While working at Sorapol, I
was given projects that involved supporting their commercial sector, including a logo for their model/fashion designer and a publication presenting their new clothing range. I also designed dress motifs specifically for T-shirts and leggings.
I have over 10 years experience as a Graphic Designer, working for a number of established organisations across Central London which specialise in sectors such as financial servicing, media production, healthcare data, and the entertainment industry.
My work I've produced covers a distinctively broad range from branding/digital marketing campaigns involving logo creation to publications, infographics, web development/UI and installations.
I occasionally prefer to create something that involves a more tactile medium as I do think it is the most effective way of playfulness and general positive user interaction. I do very much still like working in digital media and even would try to mould that with the printed elements.
I have always had an intrigue in the illusionist/surreal aspect of design, as it's that response of the users curiosity to figure something out and getting that great satisfaction of doing so as a result.
