Apparel Designs


T-shirt designs created for an apparel company named, ‘Stitch Graffiti’. The designs were to be screen-printed onto White T-shirts as part of their latest range of men’s clothing. The illustrations needed to communicate the values and image of the company, which were narrowed down to three main themes: Urban, Grungy and Youthful.


T-shirt designs created for personal merchandising. As a keen screen-printer I have illustrated and printed many of my own apparel designs as part of a personal product range. The images above show a select few of some of the most popular T-shirt designs that I have sold to people in the UK and across the world.

Book Cover Design Entry for 2014 Penguin Design Awards



My entry for the 2014 Penguin Design Awards. The brief was to create a whole new cover look for The Outsiders, in order to bring this classic to a new generation of readers. The design needed to have an imaginative concept and original interpretation of the brief and clearly place the book for its market of teenagers.

Editorial Design and Illustration



Editorial Illustration and double page spread design created for a magazine publication being produced by an illustrator agency named Watson and Akerfeld. The brief was to produce an illustration to be used on the front cover and double page spread of the magazine as well as designing the full layout and format of the magazines cover and spread. The final designs and illustrations needed to signify the agency as being high quality, reliable and successful.

Editorial Illustration

Editorial illustrations created for a fictional, politically neutral, newspaper called The Opinion. The theme of the illustrations was ‘Dreams’ and the title of the article was, ‘The Stuff That Dreams are made of’. The final illustrations needed to provide a strong visual commentary of the article topic as well as being created to the specific dimensions outlined in the brief in order to allow them to fit in suitably within the article spread.

Self-promotional Items- Illustrated Coasters



The brief was to produce an appropriate and compelling piece of self-promotion aimed at those that are commissioning Illustration in an area of the industry that I wish to work in my future as a designer/illustrator. The self-promotional piece needed to showcase my personal style, and from which potential employers can identify my full potential as a visual communicator.
