Examples from projects I’ve worked on for my own clients, in design agencies, production houses, and freelance for various companies.

Piccadilly Basin Brochure and Pop-up — Visual branding for a mixed-use development in Manchester’s city centre canal basin consisted of brochures, poster sites, pop- up display stands and graphics for the website. Further design for TCS included branding for their Car Parks and marketing literature for some of their properties in Leeds.

LOP Literature and Web Pages — Branding design for an online corporate print management company. Design and artwork extended to printed literature, website and graphics for the user interface of their print ordering and management software.

Primark Madrid Elevator Wall Light Boxes — Creating graphics for large format light box panels was an everyday activity at Vision On. I was instrumental in resolving an exceptional problem of uneven canvas stretch when Primark’s design team specified these oddly shaped huge light boxes for the escalator well of their flagship Spanish store in Madrid.

Primark Windows and Signage — I complied design packs and build artworks for the production of visual merchandising, light boxes, wall and window vinyls, POS, displays and way-finding signage during Primark’s rapid expansion of stores in the UK and Ireland, throughout Europe, and for its entry into the US market.

Primark Hoardings — Hoarding designs heralding the opening of new Primark stores varied from site to site across the UK and Europe. Containing standardised elements and site/language specific details, hoardings were submitted for approval in design packs before artworks were produced for large format print.

Learning Concepts Literature — Considered marketing communications for a training company in the North East comprised a mix of folder and Inserts, an A5 booklet, mailers and a 3 piece banner stand. All tied into website identity.

The visual here has been constructed from artwork PDFs modelled and rendered in Cheetah3d.

Equate Packaging — Creative artwork on Walmart’s Equate range of Pharaceutical and Personal Care Products. Rebranding included the adaptation of design concepts to reflect leading national brands and the implementation of Equate brand guidelines across packaging for everything from diaper bags to haemorrhoid cream. The visual here has been constructed from artwork PDFs, modelled and rendered in Cheetah3d.

Newbroom Gifts Packaging — Identities and branding for an independent company producing gift ranges for large UK retailrs such as M&S and Boots. As well as branding I designed all packaging (based on supplied cutting formes) which had to be mocked up with the products so that pack shots could be taken for promotional literature which I also designed.

M&S Packaging — Creative artwork for packaging of a Marks and Spencer chocolates gift range. A selection of packaging shown here with artwork applied to cutters designed and tested by PBFA. One of many freelance placings over several seasons with this Yorkshire based gifts company.

Illustrations were provided by the design team, but I was responsible for consistent layout and application on packaging using BOP elements developed within Technik. Artworks were produced for either Litho or Flexi with GMG proofs for approval.

Asda Garden Furniture Packaging — Packaging artworks for various ranges of ASDA garden products. Layouts, content and placement followed branding guidelines with retouching and masks applied to supplied images.

Apprenticeship North Identity — Logo ideas, evolution and development. The selected icon and typeface was used in web layout and literature.

Carta Sport Brochures — The Carta Sport catalogue was updated annually with new and improved products. I updated the Carta Sport logo with a cleaner unique type style — more consistantly applied in single or two colour print.
