I was asked to create a poster for the promotion of the Twentieth Century Fox film 'Hitman: Agent 47'. The design was used for the films social media presence as part of a '47 days of Hitman' promotional campaign. The work involved both illustrative properties and graphic design elements.
Self-employed
I was hired by Cohn & Wolfe to produce illustrative work for a pneumonia vaccination campaign run by Pfizer. The work involved creating numerous ideas for an image to be used internationally as part of the campaign. I was able to produce creative work that fit the brief within a tight deadline.
Self-employed
I was hired to create twenty alternative film poster designs to be featured on the website of a gambling company. The work was done over the course of ten days and therefore required concentration, great communication skills with the client, and creative thinking.
Self-employed
I created a poster design for the web-series 'The Walker' for the news and lifestyle site Refinery29. The poster achieved the aims of both appealing to the target audience and reflecting the tone of the show.
Self-employed
I created cover work for a trilogy of books by author Martin Lastrapes. These involved work on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Good communication and research was essential in creating a successful series of covers.
Self-employed
I was commissioned by Random House to create artwork to be presented to the author Jo Nesbø to celebrate the millionth sale of his book 'The Snowman' in the UK. This was an exciting opportunity as the filmic crime novels of Nesbø, who has old twenty three million copies (and counting) of his books globally, were a good fit for my sometimes dark and contemporary style.
Self-employed
In September 2013, Penguin Group USA asked if I would create artwork for a series of books. The books are aimed at an 11-13 year old female age group and are part of Penguin's Young Readers branch. The first of the book covers was completed by December 2013 but further titles will be ongoing, and I will be completing them in a freelance capacity while working on other projects over the coming months. All deadlines have been adhered to and communication between the company and myself has been excellent. I very much look forward to collaborating with them on future work.
Self-employed
I was approached by The Walt Disney Company in 2012 and asked to create some artwork for merchandise to be released in the second quarter of 2014. The work consisted of four primary artworks in the Disney Villains theme, to feature on apparel and other merchandise to be sold by Disney. It was an honour not just to work for such an established company but to have also been approached by them in the first place. The company was highly understanding of my artistic vision and allowed me great freedom in creating work that both they and I were happy with.
Self-employed
I was contacted by StickyEyes to create typographic artwork for the fitness brand Maxitone, creating eight typographic posters to promote the brand on both social media and in print advertisements.
Self-employed
I was asked by The Royal Exchange Theatre to create artwork for all of the advertising materials for their winter production of Rats' Tales, written especially for the theatre by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. I produced artwork for posters, flyers, banners, programs and static web advertisements. Working closely with the in-house designers I was able to produce work that met the theatre's high standards, met deadlines and was perfect for the target market. The production was very well received and the theatre is internationally renowned; as a result my work was featured widely in the press, which exposed my work to many new potential clients.
Self-employed
Upon leaving university I took some time to decide what career path I would take. I was offered bar work and found the friendly, sociable atmosphere hard to resist. The job was a challenge as it wasn’t something I had experienced before but I quickly warmed to it. I was taught to value customer service and, working long shifts with few breaks, was taught the value of working hard for my wage. To further my design career I offered to produce promotional materials for the bar including posters, flyers and assisted in web design.
Self-employed
This was the first job I had following university. I worked with staff members to design and
create advertising for events, manage web services and assist with corporate identity.
