Biography

A sharp, creative multimedia and graphic designer with thorough knowledge of design, colour and illustration, capable of creating technically, functionally and aesthetically pleasing multimedia and print design.

After graduating in 2004 I went on to win the Art Rat competition before landing my role as a designer at BLM Flint, the creative arm of the UK's largest and most successful media independent. There I worked for clients such as Maxim, Thomas Cook and Domino’s Pizza. I then joined the design department for Informa, a global leading provider of specialist information.

Portfolio

01 Informa / Scrip News

Contemporary website design gives this site the wow factor it deserves. A clean and easy to update website was required for this project. The design was aimed to encourage users read more and access large amounts of information easily. Scrip World Pharmaceutical News provides you with high quality news coverage of pharma and biotech and also gives you strategic data and analysis. It is also Informa Healthcare's biggest brand globally.

05 Informa / Raj Rharma & Raj Devices

A simple and effective website design. The difficulty here was combining the two complimentry sites RAJ Pharma and RAJ Devices, both brands contained unique content but subscribers required access to both.

  Having no visuals to work with and a file size limitation of just 10kb, I created an ad with movement and introduced a basic 3d element.

07 Informa / Eurolex

  This ad accompanied the print ads we designed which went out on multiple formats. The visual is made from several stock photographs and seamlessly merged together.

08 Informa / Scrip Recruitment

I used colourful and interesting visuals to grab the viewers attention. After recieving the brief I advised on the creative. I had the half page ads represented by humans and the quater page ads by animals and insects to really push the copy 'are you looking for an inspiring workforce?'.

09 Informa / Scrip Awards

  As with all the ads I produce, I always try to introduce something different, with this awards advert I thought it'd be interesting to have some user interaction in the way of a scratch card.

Users are encouraged to rub off the silver panel using there mouse to reveal a special message. This ad was particulay effective as the click through rate doubled immediatly!

I also designed and built the Scrip Awards website which contained a mixture of flash and HTML. You can view the site here.

16 BLM / Flint Creative

Being a creative agency we needed a site that screamed fun, the site works by having all your usual site features such as 'our work' or 'about us' but these are represented in a funky fasion. Elements on the screen would change colour as you rolled over them using the mouse. The time and date are always correct and you can even play Space invaders in the little arcade.
