Projects
- Deloitte GAAP and iGAAP titlesCover design, illustration and promotional material for the Deloitte GAAP and iGAAP accounting titles. For the 2014 titles I created a series of illustrations of the UK and the world. The Illustrations were created using a mix of acrylic paint, ink and gouache on board, these were then photographed and enhanced in photoshop before being applied to the covers. I was involved with the design of and marketing materials for this series from 2010 to 2014.
- Access for JusticeTwo campaigns for The Access for Justice Foundation. Unlock funds for justice – Brochure and posters. Pro bono costs are like ordinary legal costs, but where a party had free legal representation. If a civil case is won with pro bono help, pro bono costs can be ordered by the court. It’s Not Just Peanuts – Brochure. A campaign about releasing dormant client account funds to support The Access for Justice Foundation.
- Tolley book cover rebrandRedesign of Tolley brand application to the entire portfolio of Tolley books. The scalable and fluid design allowed for the individual hallmarks of each title to remain while bringing them all under a unified grid and typographic hierarchy. The Tolley range of books encompasses limp, printed paper cased, cased cloth, binder and ebook covers totalling more than 80 titles produced each year.
