Jlife magazine is a glossy monthly publication that is distributed to over 8,000 homes in Leeds. I’m one of two graphic designers who lay the magazine out, source artwork and create custom graphics and illustrations as required. I have also created a number of promotional spreads including work for Jaguar and Marriot Hotel. This is a sample spread I constructed that appeared in the May edition of Jlife magazine. The feature was a paid advertorial for the Crown Hotel in Leeds I was commissioned by a new start-up media group to create a pilot of a magazine they sought to launch Spring 2007. I created the logo and constructed a 40 page realisation with custom graphics and illustration. Unfortunately, the magazine never acquired enough funding to launch despite enthusiastic responses to the concept and design. A sample spread from Up North magazine.

A logo can be the single most important design decision a company makes. It dictates how people perceive a business and often informs the rest of the companies “look and feel.” Part of the promotion for the Plato's People website<br /> See web design for more infomation. Working with Bill Cover gave me an appreciation of the seemingly simple yet highly complex nature of image construction.<br /> What began as a commission for a logo became a commission for an entire promotional campaign including website, business cards and stationary.<br />See also web design for this client.

Working for two ad agencies in West Yorkshire has given me a broad experience of commercial design and layout; from in-store high fashion P.O.S promos to motorcycle rally posters. Agency Work continued. More examples - please note use of the impact font was at client's insistance ;) I'm available for one off or recurring illustration jobs. If your unhappy with your exsiting design work, why not ask me about a revamp?
