I’ve been doing this design thing long enough to have done design for just about any medium. So here is an outline of what I do.
Magazine design
I’ve been designing magazines for over ten years working on specialised business-to-business titles, corporate titles and news stand magazines. Having this varied background and a love for typography has given me an ability to achieve the ideal result for client and reader. But as important it is to achieve the best design outcome, I’m also well aware of the need to get the job done on time. Having a solid production process is essential to reaching deadlines and creating the time needed to achieve the creative outcome needed. I’m using Indesign CS5.5 for all my magazines.
Illustration
This is where it all started for me, it runs in the family. Illustration for editorial, logos, tattoo’s, labels, poster’s, signage, pretty much anything you can think of I’ve done it.
Document design
And by that I mean pretty much anything that is printed. Media kits, advertising, brochures, annual reports.
Re-design
I’ve re-designed many magazine titles and logo’s over the years. Small changes can sometimes have a huge impact. But sometimes its best to throw it all out the window and start again. In the end it all about communicating to the reader and keeping it consistent from issue to issue.
ipad
This is a very exciting new area of publishing. The main problems being the various publishing options. I’m currently using the Adobe Publishing Solution (DPS). So far I’ve designed and published ‘if’ magazine (Inside Film). Look it up in the itunes store and download the first issue, its free. Screen shots can also be viewed here on the portfolio page.
Logo/identity
Split-second communication is what a logo is all about. What ever you needs I’m sure I can accommodate but if you after something with illustrative flair then I’m your man.
PowerPoint Presentations
Pretty much anyone can put together a PP presentation together but if you really want to stand out, a good looking custom template design is the only way to go. Contact me if you’d like a presentation that doesn’t look like it was put together buy the office junior.
Events
I’ve designed some of the larger events in the country. Invites, tickets, advertising, maps, seating plans, programs, signage, websites, email newsletters. It all needs to get done quickly and efficiently and still have your products corporate identity. Go to the events page so some examples.
Signage
Its not all over once the logo has been designed. I actually started out as a budding sign/ticket writer.
