Nando's
Personal Project
These posters were created as a personal project for Nando's. These were created as I thought their advertising at the time could have been improved. The idea with these posters were to play on features of Nando's itself and Portuguese African food in general. The colours of the posters draw on the hot spicy nature of the food. The outcome with these was bright, vibrant posters with catchy, simplistic slogans.

Autism
Personal Project
This magazine focused on Asperger's, which is a mild condition that is on the Autism Spectrum. The idea of the magazine was to raise awareness of the condition itself, whilst creating an attractive and appealing outcome. The magazine was written so that it came across as if, it was written from the viewpoint of someone with the condition itself. The magazine featured articles, stories and events relating to Asperger's and Autism.

Ray
Live Project
Ray stands for Reduce Abuse Youth and was aimed at youngsters and the prevention of domestic abuse on them. The leaflets were aimed at informing youngsters of this and how to prevent it. Each leaflet was orientated towards a different aspect of domestic abuse such as Male on Female, Female on Male, LGBT, etc. The graphics reflect the effect domestic abuse has on the victim. There were 7 in total in the series.

The aim of these was to create posters that were direct and to the point, as well as to create posters that looked similar to each other as if they were part of a family. As well as to increase the turnover and customers that visited the shop. The use of icons were employed to help distinguish between the 2, as well as the use of a different colour. The posters were A1 and A3 in size and were positioned inside and outside the shop. These were to promote Electric Bikes, 0% APR Finance and Price Match Promise.

Health Check
Live Project
The Health Check was aimed at Giant customers and as a result of this, I had to follow Giant's brand guidelines. The bike hangers were double sided and simple on one side to draw customers in and on the other contained all the information on the service. The table tripod was 3 sided and featured the Cyclist Health Check, 0% APR Finance and Powerfit. Both of these outcomes were designed to work as part of a set and were located on bikes throughout the shop and on the cafe tables.

This website was created for an estate agents in Sydney, Australia. I was asked by a design company in Brisbane, Australia to work on it.
