These were created just after the website was finished for the artist to market her work during networking events. They were double sided, four colour print with a matt finish, printed on a nice quality stock.

Petroleum People
This site was designed while working for Radius Designs. As the company works within the oil and petroleum industry, we decided to reflect this, pulling in nicely rich colours to the black. The website was designed, completed, presented and paid for, but sadly never used.

The Football Association
While working at First Media, I spent approximately six months creating a series of flash interactive learning programs to be put on their internal site and connected to an LMS. They needed to stay in keeping with ones that had been done before, so there was a template in place, although they also needed to be different, as the client has asked them to be a little more edgy compare to the older ones.
I created mud splatters in illustrator, took photos of grass, stood on pieces of paper, and generally gave the feel of the work being taken out to the football pitch and kicked around for a while. At one point, to meet the deadline, one of these a day were being created, with almost 150 being made before the end. They incorporated drag and drop, click to reveal and flash video, the video being loaded in a specially created container based on an iPhone.

Animated Gif
A small gif I created for the Antiques Trade Gazette:
This was a last minute ad due to advert space becoming free online. Think this took about 1/2 – 3/4 of an hour, including the photoshop cutouts of the stone elephants which were part of another auction. I’d unwisely said something like “wouldn’t it be nice if the bums wiggle?”

Wolds College
In one of my first serious forays into print, I created two four page brochures for Wolds College in Lincolnshire while working for First Media Solutions. The pages were designed under the close eye of the client, and printed off onto high gloss paper. Click on the image to view the PDF.

Radius Designs
Last year, I was working freelance, a position that isn’t without its pains, and greatly enhanced by a move to London. I had been contracting for Radius Designs, which was a small digital agency in Macclesfield, a contract which ran for one month to three. The website itself was drastically in need of an update, so I was asked to redesign. Radius designs itself went into administration while I was there, leaving me more than a little out of pocket. However, I came up with a set of designs for the site which never happened, with elements that I occasionally pilfer (I mean refer to) for other jobs.
This site would have been quite splendid…

Digital artwork
I was very kindly invited to take part in a collective exhibition of artwork for a gallery in Barcelona, called Art Cubik a few years ago. The three pieces I created were digital, using elements of photography, scanning, 3D modelling and general experimentation. I composited the elements together in photoshop, printed them out, scratched into / painted onto / stuck bits on (and tore bits off) until I came up with these.

Bettor Folder
Excuse the photograph…
This folder was designed in part as a cover for promotional material, in part to keep documents in for meetings, and in part to do generally foldery things like folders generally do. I was trying to define the brand under difficult circumstances, as all the company really used was a logo, and although there were two pantone swatch colours defined, they seemed to often be missed and no-one could really agree on what it should be. I was experimenting with the blue on white curve and variations of it, which seemed to be very popular.
The folder also has a reversed image on the inside which reflects the outside perfectly, an idea I carried across to the business cards.

Flash Ads
A couple of flash adverts to go onto the Bettor.com website relating to particular weekend markets. The animations were uploaded using a CMS, which cancelled the advert after the event had closed. I did around six of these, at about 2 hours each.

St Andrews Hospice
I designed a stand for St Andrews Hospice while working for First Media Solutions. The top banner had to be interchangeable between the main hospice and the children’s hospice, so two were created. The file was finally printed on a large format printer and laminated by myself.
