RENEWABLE ENERGY WEBSITE

The brief was to design a contemporary and user friendly website which highlights the unique and quality services offered by Thomas Armstrong Renewable Energy. The purpose of my website design is to guide potential customers through exactly how Thomas Armstrong could help them, resulting in them making contact with the company. To deal with some of the more complicated pieces of information I used info graphics instead of figures which highlights and breaks up some of the information.

LAIDLAW'S BRANDING

Over the past two weeks I've been busy designing some branding for my latest University project. Paul Laidlaw (you may have seen him on Bargain Hunt) is opening up his very own auction house right here in Carlisle and needs some branding. So it's been left in the very capable hands of the third year graphic designers at the University. The symbols I designed below are based on hallmarks and makers marks. The abstracted symbols combined with vibrant colours captures some of the energy and excitement during an auction. I have applied my branding across a range of stationery, website and hanging banner.

BRANDING INSPIRATION

Yesterday was the first day back in the studio after our summer break. Our first project is all about branding so I went to a great source of branding inspiration http://brandingidentitydesign.tumblr.com. If you love exciting logo design, letterheads and business cards take a look. Here's a flavour of whats on offer!

UNI SUMMER PROJECT

Over the summer I decided to tackle a 'cut it out' project given to me by my university. I have also recently been on an amazing holiday to New York and so decided to combine the two. Using just card and a sharp scalpel I got cutting and somewhere along the way ended up with this. Each page has a silhouette of something I did or saw on that day of the holiday.

ARE WE THERE YET?

For a recent University project I produced a book documenting the different types of transport my family and I used on our holidays, from a VW campervan to a camel. I experimented with the typography to present the information in a more engaging way alongside the photography. Below is a selection of spreads and to view the book in its entirety visit my website.    

8 DEGREES OF SHOPLIFTING

I have been greatly influenced by Nigel Holmes work which came in use when doing my own piece of information graphics on shoplifting.

THE ANCIENT ASSASSINS

The Ancient Assassins have been set free so watch out! 

THE ANCIENT ASSASSINS

These are my paper toys which I created for my university project. They are a group of war veterans who are OAPs during the day and assassins by night.

SEEING DOUBLE

This is one of my final pieces for the seeing double project. Created using inks.

V&A POSTERS

For my current project I am producing four banners and a poster for an exhibition on shoes at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Here is some of my development work.
