Designs
Here be logos and leaflets, adverts and apps.
Fancy Dress Ball logo
Created as part of an application project to an online fancy dress company. The shinyness (gold with white stars) is for fun and glamour, while the box shape with items (and the name) inside shows they're a mail-order business. Also note that the items themselves include a moustache and a pirate hook, to inform visitors that this site caters to both sexes.
For another item from this project, see my Illustration page.
Gamepower April 2012
Cover for a fictional video gaming magazine. My favourite part would be the triple-pun in the heading "Second Life": It's the title an an unrelated online game, the game itself is based around Vampires (vampires being in their second life), and the article relates to the reinvigoration of this particular game's life!
FND logo ′11
A revamped Friday Night Disco logo for University of Bradford Student Union. Based around the idea of glowsticks and star-wands (on a shape resembling a student card), it's been in use since 2011!
Club flyer
A6 flyer for a fictional nightclub.
Jailbreak poster 2011
The posters for the University of Bradford Student Union are vibrant and full of colour… but some make me feel a bit ill. I decided to remake their 2010 "Jailbreak" logo and poster.
While the brown tint reduces the poster's eye-grabbing power, it's important for the overall prison theme - it calls back to old cartographer's maps (like Indiana Jones would fly over), Wild West wanted posters, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
Final Boss Fight branding
My buddy John heads a blog network covering videogame news - These are a few of the images made for the site itself. I've done logos for the sites, the podcast, a couple of recurring features and the news recap, as well as a few other assets. The main logo has also been adapted for use on staff shirts, business cards and their microphone flag.
Donkey Sanctuary advert
Mock full-page magazine advert for The Donkey Sanctuary. Their website has a pleasing colour scheme, which has been carried over to this print. I also used a method from The Sun newspaper, in that specific words are made bold for emphasis.
BUSOM society leaflet
A roll fold 6-page leaflet for my uni group, to match their website.

Town of Hidden Talents
A magazine spread of an article about my hometown – had a go at light journalism too, as I wrote the copy myself.
TimeLock (app concept)
This proof of concept for an iOS app (pre-Retina Display) presents a somewhat daring colour scheme; the brass could divide opinion, but it incorporates the padlock colour into the layout while providing contrast to the soft blue.
TimeLock App Adverts
A sample advert for my iPhone app design, expanding the style of the app to work in the larger space. The padlock logo is a key visual element, so it has a prominent place in the spread.
Two Flash banners-ads accompany this: Click here for the horizontal banner, or here for the vertical one.
Duck Race poster
Self-explanatory really – an [unofficial] advertisement for the Hebden Bridge Duck Race. Let me point out that the bridges on the poster's map resemble the actual bridges used for the race.
Footwear advert
An advertisement for an outdoor goods retailer, focusing on footwear. This is actually a preferred yet alternative take, which sprung to mind while laying out a different composition. The main paragraph originally began "your hairdresser's prime question – so what's your answer?".
