Graphic designer / Art director

The Lowry Arts Centre
Whilst working for BJL, I produced The Lowry Report & Accounts Brochure. It was financially their best year to date, and to symbolise this, created a flourish illustration which grew and evolved throughout the 48 page brochure, according to each section. The flourish was designed using geometric shapes which The Lowry building itself is made up of. I wanted the design to convey the vibrancy of the interior design and so used vivid colours and sophisticated printing processes to emulate this. It won the SWOT Award 2008 for 'Best Design Strategy'.

Working directly for Eden Luxury Group, I produced the design and layouts for the 500 page Eden Collection brochure 2011/12.
