Hey! I’m Callum a graphic designer born and bred in Bolton. With knowledge in most areas of design, I am equally happy working across both print and digital media. With a strong belief in the power of social media and a passion to learn, I am open to taking on any new challenge. Two words that people often use to describe me are ‘honest’ and ‘trustworthy’. I like to think you can count on me.
When I’m not designing, you will most likely see me playing or watching some form of sport.
I have an open mind and regularly enjoy taking a look at a new sport. I definitely believe watching ‘live’ is best for the all-round sporting experience.
Stand aside Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness, here comes Bolton’s next big thing ;)

- My BrandThe brief: Brand Yourself My response: "Do you spell Callum with one L's or two?" Out of pure frustration from answering this question my whole life, I decided to make light of the situation by making it my brand, which influenced the LL!. A part of the logo people often don't see at a first glance, is the subtle relation to "Hi" within the design. Orange has been chosen as the main colour due to the colour connotations reflecting my personality style, but mainly because I just like the colo

NHS Bolton TrustThe University of Bolton
This award was given based on a live brief in contact with the NHS during my time at The University of Bolton. When working on this brief, we were requested to work in a small team, of which we were two graphic designers. Me and a fellow member of the course Jon Francis teamed up for this project.
After submission, we were informed that our submission for the competition was selected to be placed within The Royal Bolton's Children's Ward and from this we won an award from Bolton University.
