First Steps

Range of Identity design
Exhibition brochure for SQA's First Steps initiative. The exhibition featured ten of the top students work from across Scotland. The brief they tackled was to design a piece of street furniture from recycled materials, that was to be located at the Glasgow School of Art. Because of the School of Arts heritage and architecture by Charles Rennie Mackintosh all submissions had to be influenced by his style and aesthetics.
The brochure offered a sympathetic solution using recycled materials and didn't entertain any superfluous design features. Project completed at RR Donnelley.

Pitch winning work Telford College's student/staff recruitment campaign for the 2007/08 session. The illustrations shown were intended to be placeholders as part of the work proposition was to invite a Telford illustration/design graduate to join the agency team to work up finished artwork and gain work experience as part of their course. Unfortunately the agency I was working with closed its doors. The agency ensured Telford received all the work and they ran this campaign as it stood.
