About me

I am very interested in your job opportunity. I feel that I would be a great part of your creative team. I am a Graphic Designer/Illustrator who's main focus is poster and merchandising design, however, I can adapt my skills to any means of design from layout of Corporate manuals, Branding , Printing solutions and design concepts . I have designed various T shirt designs for various bands, for example, the award winning band Foreigner, Killswitch Engage and local unsigned bands. I have a key interest in Music project designing various album covers and creating digipack packaging. I have also have a key interest in movie poster designs as I have created posters for short indie films. I have a key eye for design and being able to adapt ideas to clients wants and needs and expanding beyond the briefs to creating extensive branding. I also take in what is current in the world of design, for example creating a children's book based on Moshi Monsters .

I am very familiar with creating vector graphics along with creating more design solutions from expanding briefs of what a client is looking for and will be able to bring these skills to this position.

Another example of a work project I have completed is when I created a poster design for the brief for Hidden Nottingham. The brief was to look at the hidden gems of Nottingham, for this I looked at the Nottingham music scene which I have had printed and it is now hanging up in various venues in Nottingham.
