Projects
- Tone Deaf School of Music Opening CampaignTo announce the Ireland-based music school's new premises opening, a new campaign was in order. Following the success of the initial illustrative campaign, the owner wanted another one along the same vein but with a new brief in mind. This campaign required me to create a new illustration along with some alternative merchandise. There was a lot more information to be conveyed, also, requiring me to be mindful when typesetting all applications.
- Tone Deaf School of Music BrandingTone Deaf School of Music is a school in Ireland focused on teaching children and adults music in a fun but professional manner. As a part of my role I was to design the branding, with a specific brief from the owner. The logo was developed first, with a colour scheme that suited the school, as was indicated. Following this, the owner had decided that he wanted a more illustrative campaign than his competitors. The Time Flies campaign did exactly this and succeeded in giving the school a more unique appearance than any of the local businesses as well as competitors.
