My Design Core

Animation & Motion Graphics

To get noticed digitally, video manipulation and motion graphics is key. I have completed numerous motion graphics campaigns for promotional video, social media, B2B informative video and end consumer animated promotional work. Mainly using Adobe After Effects, but also using Cinema 4D which integrates seamlessly. I have also edited / produced training and informative videos, adding branding and on screen graphical support.

Digital Design

I utilise my digital, creative skills to complete effective, responsive, modern websites, web and landing pages for use on all devices, using the latest CMS platforms (often in WordPress), HTML and CSS. I plan and implement my sites from begin to end to be extremely competent marketing tools, moving companies forward. I also create and send regular responsive, digital email campaigns using the best email platforms (Mailchimp, Stamp Ready) with astounding results. I have also spearheaded digital marketing campaigns, social media, multiple online banners and information pages for effective sales results.

Print Design

I have created a number of effective, magazines, booklets, leaflets, flyers, Posters, POS, Corporate documents and folders, business cards, letterheads and invitations. These vary from corporate to funky and have helped various companies to convey the appropriate message, branding and ultimately, winning new business driving them forward. I can follow strict brand guidelines or create something new and refreshing.

What else do I do?

Logos, Icons, Infographics & Custom Graphics

I have completed logos for start-ups and companies needing to re-brand. I have created beautiful iconography for sub-ranges of products and created modern, slick custom graphics and infographics for product ranges signifying variation or clear, graphic messaging.

Large Format & Exhibition Design

I have created effective exhibition design; both the technical layout diagrams for professional stand builders and the actual advertising space graphics. I have also created many impressive shopfront window displays and top banners. I have also created stand alone and fleet vehicle graphics.

Event Design

I have created colourful, attractive, event invitations, celebratory vouchers, themed poster and flyer sets for one-off party events and wedding stationary for a more civilised gathering. All designed with the appropriate imagery, colouring, fonts and overall delivery to create the perfect time through graphical representation

Corporate Identity

I have created business cards, letterheads, compliment slips, price lists and corporate documents. Both keeping with existing brand guidelines and also creating a whole new branding style.

POS & Retail Design

I have created a high number of eye-catching, creative, branded POS for retail outlets including large, section banners, posters, shelf edging, information stands and grab books.

Packaging

Throughout my design career I have completed numerous packaging projects to appeal to varying markets. These range from small, medical style, clinical products with small print runs in the UK, up to larger, funky bags and boxes with large scale print runs in the Middle and Far East. These products have great shelf presence in retail outlets, giving the exposure required to become market leading products. Often I have needed to follow brand guidelines, yet push boundaries as much as possible.
