  • James Bond Book Covers
    James Bond Book CoversThe brief for this project was to create two bitmap book covers from a series. I chose Moonraker and Diamonds Are Forever from the James Bond series as I was reading the series at the time. The Moonraker cover was created using my graphics tablet and photoshop brushes and the Diamonds Are Forever cover was created using a photograph of a sequin I had taken, copied over and over to create the diamond effect. The background was created with solid colour and a 'dustboard' photoshop brush over the top.
Work history
    Social Media Manager
    Through ScotGrad’s summer placement program I was hired as Market Development Officer for the SUPER!NATURAL brand. During my time in the placement I managed the social media pages and organised a student campaign where SUPER!NATURAL featured at a number of Fresher’s Fayres across Scotland. I also arranged for a number of Student Brand Ambassadors in certain Colleges and Universities. I now control their social media, having grown their following on Facebook and Twitter and continue to run competitions at various times of the year.
