AUDIENCE: Hailo App users & Black Cab Passengers
(London-centric)
BRIEF: As part of Hailo’s on-going social media
strategy The leading PR agency commissioned
concept artwork for an open-top cab (The Cab-
riolet). This had a turnaround of several hours
to remain relevant with the rare sun London was
experiencing at the time. The artists impression
received the most engagements of all posts so
far this year, more than the Hailo Piggy back
post which had been the most successful brand
campaign of the year.

promote Thorpe Park Fright Night’s 15th
anniversary, which would feature in a campaign
let by international model Rick Genest, a.k.a
Zombie Boy.
PR agency Tailor Herring wanted to create a
ghoulish and immersive advertising campaign
which created visual aesthetics akin to those used
on popular shows like the Walking Dead. The
Typography needed to reflect and compliment
the horror theme. The shots featured on Thorpe
Parks social channels and national news sites like
The Sun.
MATERIALS: Stylized typography for a large format
artboard.

4. CLIENT: Barclays Bank & Hope & Glory PR agency
AUDIENCE: Home Buyers and Sellers
BRIEF: Banking giant Barclays wanted to promote
a recently commissioned report on mortgages
with accompanying illustrative artwork.
The brief was to create a front elevation of two
opposing properties with clearly visible negative
and positive features. This was an incredibly tight
turn around of 3 days, including initial concepts
and final artwork. The completed piece was well
received by the client and featured online across
various distributors including; the Telegraph, Mail
Online, This Is Money and Barclays own social
channel.

5. Client: Springboard Charity
Audience: Potential sponsors and organisations
within the hospitality industry looking to adopt
Springboard as a charity of choice to help
meet corporate social responsibility targets and
bolster their work force.
Brief: Springboard turned 25 in 2015 and
wanted to create a series of adverts that
commemorated the progress of the charity
and the lives they had changed. I sought to
create a high contrast between the harrowing
backgrounds beneficiaries had left behind
and the bright futures they had found through
Springboard’s help. We believe we produce
something that is visually striking, that catches
the eye with tongue-in-cheek statements, whilst
being respectful of the difficulties endured and
the triumphant achievements of the beneficiaries
who volunteered their time. You can find out more
about their stories at charity.springboard.uk.net
Materials: The adverts have appeared in
numerous industry and national publications,
online and in print as well as featuring at a
number of high profile events and exhibitions.

professionals working within the hospitality
industry.
BRIEF: I have built a strong and productive
working relationship with this small British
agency following the successful execution of
various briefs for a number of their clients in the
hospitality industry.
As the exhibition season began in the UK,
Custard asked me to help strengthen their brand
with the creation of various print and digital
materials.
Custard sought to create a cohesive brand
identity, which was both colour, fun and
functional. All the while building up an
association with the professional industry they
have chosen to support.

cards/ calendar/ exhibition stand

7. Client: Yieldify
BRIEF: The eCommerce company recently received
major investment from Google and so wanted to
shout about their returns on investment to their
customers.
I was briefed to create an engaging infographic,
which not only acted as a visual presentation of
facts and figures, but a journey which led to a
call to action for any potential clients. Yieldify
wanted something that was fun and fresh, whilst
adhering to their style guidelines.

12. PERSONAL PROJECT:
Like many I have any undying love for the
intergalactic saga. The Star Wars films were
something I grew up with and developed into an
on-going interest in science fiction in both screen
and print.
I wanted to emphasize the franchise’s own coming
of age, with the evolution of one of the most
recognisable characters in the space opera. The
humble Stormtooper. I also wanted to demonstrate
the soldiers own journey from light to dark, from
Clone Troopers being created as a protector of
the light and good, to their current form under the
control of the First order, where they have been
harnessed as an unrelenting force of evil and
suppression.
The project served as a way to hone my digital
painting abilities and gain as steadier hand when
using my graphics pad.
