Here I was asked to illustrate a building for an Eastlake invitation.

Here are a selection of posters created for the 2009 film that starred Danny Dyer, Nathaniel Parker and Maggie Grace – Malice in Wonderland.
It is a modern day adaptation of the old classic Alice in Wonderland, but set in the underworld of London.
As these posters were created while the film was in post production I only had a small synopsis, and trailer to work with, I also only had limited access to a small selection of images from the film.
These designs were sent to the people who were marketing the film, by the writer Jayson Rothwell, and were later used on the Film Reel website that reviewed the film.

As a personal project I decided to design a magazine from scratch.
This included, coming up with the magazine name, logo and all the imagery used.
The title and subtitle for this publication was ‘Preppy – Style and Entertainment’.
The target audience of this magazine is young men, and it falls in the category along with large magazines that have been running for a long time such as GQ and FHM.
My aim was to create a magazine that people would see on my online portfolio and wonder where they could get a copy.
I really enjoyed this self set personal project and I’m very happy with the outcomes.

As a personal project I decided to redesign the posters of a selection of films.
My aim was to give films that had very good trailers, good posters to go with them, as I feel that when a film has a poorly designed poster it isn’t
as eye catching to the general public which could lead to people missing out on very good films.
(This was only the case with some of the posters)
Overall I am very pleased with my final outcomes.

For this brief I was asked to produce a letter, CV, PDF Portfolio and a Flash website to sell myself to agencies and apply for work placement with them.

This was a great module and I really enjoyed it because it was a chance for me to put my character and personality on to paper.

I’m very pleased with the final outcomes and I’m currently waiting to hear off my chosen agency for an interview for work placement.

Here’s  a logo I helped design while at work with Pentagon Design ltd.

Its for welshrugby.tv – the new internet TV channel that gives you behind the scene access to the Welsh Rugby team, training sessions, interviews and loads more.

It’s also presented by Gareth ‘Alfie’ Thomas!

For this brief I was asked to “Produce a visual statement which describes the essence of Rowan Williams.”

My answer to this brief was to create 3 double sided posters that hung from the ceiling, so that when you walked underneath them you would see the two different sides of Rowan Williams.

They would also show the two extreme sides of Christianity, which show Rowan Williams in a different way to how people might originally portray him.

Brief: (D&AD Student Awards)

“Create an original and underground viral to drive a diverse and creative audience to the Fred Perry Subculture music website.”

After doing my research and talking to different people I came up with the idea of creating an interactive viral that starts off as a TV advert and ends up with you digesting the promotional info for the Subculture website in the comfort of your own home, while getting yourself a free Fred Perry Subculture USB stick along the way.

I created the underground advert in the style of a Pirate TV takeover by Fred Perry Subculture, with a lack of info to keep the audience intrigued.

I created the advert in Adobe After Effects giving it a grime, grunge, underground look.

Once you do what the ad says and text ‘WTF?!’ to 08800 you get sent a text message containing a link for you to visit on the computer.

On the website you have to fill in a form to get your free USB stick containing promotional info about the Fred Perry Subculture website, some free mp3’s and a Desktop Wallpaper.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this brief and had great fun creating my finished outcomes.

BUT – You can not be asked to create a viral as it is impossible. A viral creates itself, and I hope I met the requirements for this form of advertisement to become a viral.

For this brief we had to create a print based outcome for a client, that would send the message on how to be a sustainable designer’ out to to an audience.

We chose to give the serious almost boring message some ’snaz’ and ‘wit’ by telling them to double check the briefs given to them by clients to see if there was any way to create a design in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

We used a pun on the word ‘Brief’ to make it a more fun and lighthearted.

The message is delivered in a little box that is built using no glue to keep it sustainable and to give the audience a more interactive experience.

It’s been designed with a minimal look to engage the audience and make them want to look at ‘the package’.

Inside the box you get a number of goodies, which include a set of briefs with the ‘do your briefs fit’ logo on them, a recycling bag to get you started, and a booklet containing, facts, and info on the best way to be a sustainable designer.

The client was very impressed and a self confessed HUGE fan of the final outcome.

(Pictures of Briefs and Bag coming soon)

The aim of this project was to create a page of type that showed you as a person.

By using key words about myself I then found that helvetica was an appropriate typeface to use for the design.

After finding the typeface and key words I went on to lay the type out using my own personality as an example of how it should look.
