  Animated runnerTest for animated GIFs created in After effects. Initially created in Illustrator as a layered vector, this was then imported to aftereffects and animated in the 'Slim Jim' style.
• Discarded wrappersPersonal project to create vector based Pop Art style graphics. A series of memorable wrappers are to be produced with the possibility of print and sale in the future.
• EP Sleeve artworkProject brief was to create 1950's style sleeve art for the band SoundMirrors. Initially to be created for digital download but also mocked up here as CD artwork. Working closely with the band the concept of 1950's and early 1960's jazz LP sleeves was adopted with final cover being vintaged severely in Photoshop.
• Album sleeve artworkAlbum artwork created with chopped up images to create a montaged image similar to the sci-fi posters of the 1950's. Vibrant colours were overlaid and offset to give a slight registration error. Initial run will be for jewel cases (CD) but clients are also considering vinyl fold out option.
• Social studiesAnimation and sprite sheets completed for an online drag and drop game. Created in Adobe Animate and then exported via Texture Packer.
• ISC Prospectus LancasterLayout work for the International Study Centre prospectus for Lancaster University. Working closely with Study Group and their account managers the prospectus was created for the 2017 intake.
