MTV® Virus
This project was D&AD initiated and asked that MTV be represented as
a virus. It was approached with a print solution in mind knowing that
the majority would go for a screen based solution.

A series of box packaged posters promoting the different channels
by hijacking the safety net medicine packaging gives off was produced.
The boxes were intended to be placed in shops, bars, cinemas, etc.




Re-Gen08
The Fine Art catalogue for Liverpool John Moores University needed to show
off students work in the best way whilst also being an easily adaptable layout
due to students changing projects featured at the last minute. We also
organised photography, content and production. The catalogue was a great
success on the launch night. This was a collaboration with Ann Hughes
& Matt Keers.




Shiva Records*
Shiva Records needed re-branding, they wanted something that could
be iconic, easily applicable, and something that represented them without
been too intrusive. The 'S' shaped lightening through the eye became an
obvious choice in representing Shiva; the god of destruction.




OCD
OCD was a personal project in trying to understand and visually interpret
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The A3 sized book features every
distinguishable item I own in my bedroom, and the categorisation
someone with OCD would perhaps go through.




Verso Books*
Various book cover designs for critical
thinking book publisher Verso books.




Gatecrasher Birmingham*
Gatecrasher were aiming to give Birmingham a brand new glamorous
hotspot to drink and dance whilst adapting to been a club for all. The identity
needed to stay loyal to the brand established whilst also bringing something
new. All promotional material was handled from print, to web, to interiors.




Hex Clock
The Hex Clock is a screensaver clock whilst also been a colour chart
for web designers. The clock comes in card packaging, encouraging
the user to interact with its calendar like doors, which reveal the
colours featured.

The starting point for this project was play; we wanted a solution that would
be both playful, and useful at the same time. Collaboration with Matt Keers
& Adam Robson.

Branding for shoe and clothing shop Ran. The logo adopts a serif font,
similar to the old logo, however it is much more refined and features

new logo and illustrations of products; scanned images of clothes were
also included.

Information on Me
A personal project where I collected as much data as possible on the LJMU
art school and visually represent it in book form. The book had to be engaging
and make the information interesting.
