THE PICTISH TRAIL | 2009

SELF-INITIATED
GRAPHIC DESIGN

Artwork ideas for The Pictish Trail, a musician from Fence Records, 'a collective of musicians, artists, craftsfolk, chancers and slackers based in Fife, Scotland'.

The first in a series of self-initiated projects for 2009/10 - I developed graphics and layouts inspired by The Pictish Trail track 'You covered the earth with your thumb' after seeing it played live a few times over the Summer.

Initially inspired by Apollo imagery and PT's lyrics it went on to include influences from David Bowie's Low, old movie titles and much more.

PLAN B BOARDS | 2009

SELF-INITIATED
GRAPHIC DESIGN

Using photographs taken by photographer Emma Wood, Plan B was a fictional company created to showcase Emma's photos and my graphics work. The originals were taken during Brighton's White Air Festival in August 2009.

The typography evolved from the layered plywood of skateboards and a retro feel that I probably associate with my own childhood skateboarding! I loved the idea of the graphics and fonts becoming 3D objects that the boarders would interact with like landscapes.

ETHICON WEBSITE | 2009

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
WEBSITE DESIGN/DIRECTION

Ethicon is a world leader in surgical products. Starting late 2008 we worked on developing a new UK website for the company focusing on company information, news and education, to work in complement with their new product site ETHICON360EMEA.com, which I also did some design layouts for. I was involved with this project from start to finish, developing the site architecture, designing the entire site, working on SEO and content editing.

The site is due to launch early 2010.

DIGITAL CONFERENCE | 2009

JOHNSON & JOHNSON
EMAIL & LOGO DESIGN

Branding / Logo and email design for the first Johnson & Johnson Digital Marketing Conference, November 2009. The graphics were intended to give a very current and contemporary style, that would purposely look dated within a few years.

It was a chance to play with the boundaries of healthcare marketing and do something out of the norm. Changing the iconic red Johnson & Johnson logo into a vibrant pink and manipulating images from the main J&J corporate site were the starting points.

CAREMAIL | 2009

JOHNSON & JOHNSON / RCN
WEBSITE & EMAIL DESIGN

CareMail, a collaboration between Johnson & Johnson and the Royal College of Nursing, has been distributed as an email newsletter for the last few years but in 2009 moved towards a news article based website. I designed this as a bold colour-coded website with an emphasis on simplicity. It was envisioned as a scalable site that could easily be expanded over time.

GRAHAM NORTON SHOW | 2008

BBC / SO! PRODUCTIONS
WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

I designed and built the 2008/09 website for Graham's cheeky chat show as one of the first examples of the then new-look BBC web style, including a wider screen size and more integration with the network of Beeb sites. The now ubiquitous BBC iplayer was still in a beta stage so it was exciting to make use of it whilst working on a site for a national audience.

BBC EUROVISION | 2008

BBC VISION
SITE DEVELOPMENT & PDF DESIGN

Based on an internal BBC design I developed and coded the Eurovision 2008 site, supplementing this with graphics work for PDF games and scorecards. The site included videos of all 43 competing songs, complete with profiles, lyrics and Euro-inspired food recipes.

On Eurovision week is was great to see the BBC News website and the general BBC site promote my work - though obviously sad to see Terry Wogan go!

LEFT IS RIGHT REBRAND | 2009

SELF-INITIATED
BRANDING & WEBSITE

My company Left is Right Ltd has existed for sometime though was never given a proper brand treatment until now.

Throughout Summer 2009 I experimented with a range of website and image solutions, moving towards what you see today. The focus is on the LR logo and four-colour scheme that are all very flexible for any media, background and style.

IPHONE APPS ICONS | 2009

QUINTET PUBLISHING
GRAPHIC DESIGN

Working in conjunction with Jason Anscomb at Rawshock Design I created a range of fictional icons for a book cover on Apple iphone/ipod application development. The challenge was to create an image that could be easily recognised but still hopefully unique. Designing within the constraints of an icon was a lot of fun and gave me a new found respect for such a simple little object.
