Colour

I love bright colours especially when they are placed on dark or black backgrounds. This graphic was created in Illustrator using the 3D tools. You can create some basic, but quite impressive effects with the extrude, bevel and rotate options.

Connections

A graphic following the theme of 'connections', with interlocking circles created in Illustrator using the gradient and transparency features.

Grid

A geometric design based around intersecting triangles and hexagons. I used a simple two colour palette (three if you include white - but I class that as paper). I have always been a big fan of geometric patterns and are really pleased they have come back in fashion. Created using Illustrator CS.

Knickers...

Paper cut inspired by the famous phrase coined by legendary British comic Les Dawson. What more can I say!

Rad

A personal project using bright colours and stripes created in Illustrator CS.
The parallel lines cause a moving effect when scrolling on a monitor - which I quite like!

Grey

I was inspired to create this logo based on the famous, fictitious billionaire with a slightly dark side. I think we all know who Im talking about. The 'G' is custom drawn and the font is Meta Plus Bold.
Created using Illustrator CS.

Roger... Over and Out

A logo created for the launch of a new communication system. The design is inspired by the 1940's and includes a custom drawn microphone and military colour palette.

Maltesers

My original intention was to create this design from real Maltesters. After calculating I would need 1,260 individual chocolates to do this, a digital solution was required. I created a 3D chocolate in Illustrator and then stepped them to create the effect. Besides I would probably have eaten most of them anyway!

Cubic Design

I created this logo design for the SAMM 2013 event which had a theme of building relationships. The design was created in Illustrator CS using custom lettering and the DIN font.

Stars

I created this graphic patten using a selection of overlapping and intersecting stars. After experimenting with rotating, enlarging and colouring the elements this was the final effect chosen. Created using Illustrator CS.

Timeline

A retro inspired poster created using Illustrator CS. I scanned an old notebook for use as a background and used transparency to give the graphics an overprinted look. A muted colour palette of black and orange was chosen to enhance the retro look.

Pencil Head

This is a concept for a head shaped stand that holds multi-coloured pencils in the form of a mohican. I assume the product does not already exist - I cant find one on the internet anyway! Concept graphics created in Illustrator.
