business cards and the website.

Initially I made a pastiche GWR railway poster to decorate a Brixham rental property (opposite Brixham railway station). This followed a commission for a local cafe. I am now producing A4 posters for sale at Bertie and Crew in Brixham - including a Hockney pastiche.

Magazine Design: BAA
Heathrow People
A magazine for Heathrow front-line staff.
Research showed that staff didn’t want a slick magazine in which management-led stories told them how wonderful Heathrow was. Unashamedly copying the style of the tabloids, Heathrow People was a brash, staff-led paper that addressed the problems head-on.
Printed on newsprint, the paper had big punchy headlines, stories reversed out, ridiculously busy layouts and black and white images all faithfully mimicking the tabloid style.
All that was missing was a page 3 girl.

Publications refresh
Within each of the ‘Bounty Packs’ given to mums-to-be in hospitals is a comprehensive, 146 page guide on what to expect from ‘Bump to birth & beyond’.
With over half a million copies of the first guide alone being distributed, there was a need to update a rather clinical booklet into a stylish magazine in order to grab the attention of the digitally-savvy young mum – and new advertisers.
Links were added throughout the guides directing the reader to pages on the Bounty website – visually highlighted by an iPad or iPhone showing the page.
Brochure Design: Bounty
A staff induction manual for 'Bounty Ladies'.
Distinguished in hospitals by their bright pink blouses. This vitally important aspect of their appearance was used as a wrap-around cover for the book. The embroidered Bounty logo on the blouse becoming the logo on the cover of the book.
