Shell

Part of a social media campaign for Shell. Powering Progress was a recruitment initiative with the aim of spreading awareness to potential new employees of Shell’s transition to net-zero emissions.

I was asked to create double exposure imagery using portraits set against a forest, a city and a 3rd world industry.

Microsoft

As the world entered a lockdown in 2020, Microsoft wanted to produce a suite of e-books to guide users through the remote working process. Each book was to focus on a different aspect of remote working: Embracing the new world of work, data analytics and cyber security.

I created a look and feel and carried it across the 3 books to produce 3 interactive PDFs.

Agency: MRM McCann

Butterfly Conservation

Wild Spaces was a campaign by the Butterfly Conservation to prevent some of our most treasured butterflies from becoming extinct.

Encouraging nature lovers to link the countryside to the city by planting their own wild spaces and creating colour corridors across the UK in which butterflies could thrive.

I designed the look and feel using hyper-saturated cutouts of wildflowers and butterflies to create the visually stimulating colour corridors for this campaign.

Shown here is the landing page and Facebook ads.

The Prince's Trust

The Prince's Trust wanted to produce a quarterly newsletter for their supporters. Using their vibrant brand guidelines, I worked alongside a copywriter to come up with two distinct concepts for an 8 page A5 magazine.

Tillemetry

Logo and visual identity for Tillemetry.

Tillemetry is an integrated data collection system, which is used by tills at point of sale. There are three component parts of the system which work collaboratively – till software, a reporting site and dashboard interface.

The logo design acknowledges the three integral components of the system in the form of three cubes which are locked together and form part of a dynamic grid.

I was responsible for the logo design and visual identity.

Royal Horticultural Society

Summer Campaign for the Royal Horticultural Society, targeting family days out, particularly families with children.

I worked with a copywriter to come up with three concepts for this summer DM. It had to be designed as a self-mailer and each concept had to incorporate a tear-off voucher.

The DL roll-fold was the design chosen to move forward with.

Taylor Wimpey

Taylor Wimpey wanted to create some branding to be used across their Major Developments (Housing developments of over 1000 houses).

They wanted visual identity for each of the six categories under Major Developments: Place Building;, Play; Retail; Landscape and Biodiversity; Infrastructure; Community.

I designed colour-ways and a set of icons to represent each category. The icons worked in such a way that they could be used to build environments unique to specific Major Development sites.

Transmission

Transmission are the world’s largest independent global B2B marketing agency. They developed an online data analytics tool to give insight into how respondents’ opinions and priorities differ across firmographic segments, and were to produce a report outlining their findings.

I helped them by developing a look & feel for their report, using images created by their 3D artist. The images illustrate the way in which the online tool works by connecting the data.

After finalising the look & feel and template pages, I designed the whole 66 page document.

The hand drawn elements add a playfulness to appeal to the target audience.

A local reptile shop wanted to update their logo, signage and website. I created a fun, approachable logo and brand identity for them. This was carried across the signage for the shop front and website design.

EY Fabric

EY Fabric provide insights and services to build a better working world. They were to produce five films explaining how to use their new cloud based technology, EY Fabric Layers.

My job was to storyboard animations for each of the films: The Developer Layer, The Intelligence Layer, The Data Layer, The Cloud Layer and The Business Enablement Layer. The animations would accompany a voice over walking the user through the capabilities of each Layer.

The animations had to be created in the style of the EY Fabric iconography.

Agency: Transmission

ABTA

A brand awareness campaign for ABTA to increase awareness among 18 - 24 year old holiday bookers, whilst still talking to families and +55s.

I created a set of characters to represent all of the target audiences and designed a set of scenarios for each character. I designed print ads, web banners and social posts for each of the characters, as well as storyboarding animations for 2 of the target audiences.

I worked alongside the Creative Director.

Agency: Big Kid

Cats Protection

Cats Protection wanted to produce four facebook static ads to encourage donations in memory of loved cats and cat owners. Two ads were to focus on cats in memory and two to focus on cat-people in memory. Each route needed an idea around looking for a way to remember loved ones, and looking for a way to celebrate the memory of loved ones. The different executions were for testing purposes.

I worked with the copywriter to create the ads using the cats-in-memory motif alongside emotive typography and imagery.
