  • Life After People
    My first attempt at a matte painting for a university project. Something I've always wanted to explore, a scene depicting my fascination of abandoned post-apocalyptic cities of the distant future where plant life has overwhelmed our once great monolithic structures.

  • Apocalypse
    A university project testing my abilities to conform to certain parameters that needed to be met and elements that needed to be included, such as the female model. The concept is based around an apocalyptic scene inspired by many sources and was conceived to show an understanding of film poster composition and design by utilising and demonstrating techniques seen in my research such as lighting and shadows.

  • Spark Magazine
    This is part of an university layout brief, I chose to redesign the existing magazine, Spark, which caters for technological minded and entrepreneurial male audience who are both style conscious and have a thirst for indepth articles about science and inspiring articles. The new design needed to convey these elements so that the magazine could stand out amoung other similar titles on shelves.

  • Desert Eagle
    This is one of my first attempts at compositing photographs into a digital image manipulation. The idea behind this was to create something which could work well in the advertising area.

    A start up app developer studio came to me to help them create an effective and bold brand. The project also involved developing branding for a unique music player app they are currently building for the Android and iOS platforms.

  • White Falcon
    Identity design for a consultancy and investment company dealing with banking professionals and large corporations whose primary objective for the branding was to convey integrity and expertise. The overall tone was to be kept formal and include the company's trademark image, a white falcon that is 'the highest flying, rarest and most discerning in it's dealings', much like the qualities they needed to communicate in their logo and other promotional material.
