Luke Richards Freelance Graphic Designer

About me

I am a graphic designer specialising in typography, branding, layout, exhibition and editorial design. Currently freelancing having worked for almost five years in commercial design studios I’m experienced in many facets of the design environment. I’ve worked for a diverse range of clients, including: JustGiving, WaterAid, Seiko, Cambridge Satchel Company, International HIV/AIDS Alliance, Savills, Care International and, perhaps most notably, Somerset's premier "Scrumpy and Western band" The Wurzels.

JustGiving landing pagesDuring a 18-month contract with JustGiving I worked on updating many areas of their website. Many old pages needed to be brought in-line with the newer branding, including the addition of relevant icons.
WaterAid festival postersA series of typographical posters to promote WaterAid’s message and gain petition signatures across UK festivals. Hung around both Glastonbury Festival & Bestival from 2013 to 2015 the designs are reminiscent of vintage gig posters.
Cambridge Satchel Company iconsCambridge Satchel Company requested a suite of icons for their new 'What fits in our bags' landing page. The set of everyday icons were to give potential customers a good idea on the amount of items that each different sized bag could hold.
