Brief

Experimental branding for up and coming jewellery designer. Target audience is 15-25 year old girls who use Tumblr. The pieces Rina makes are all hand-made, quite rare and very sought after so am featuring them in the designs as much as possible. Typography is a highly customised version of a font from my ‘free’ archives. All photos and patterns used are taken/made by me, main image features macro shots of amethyst. Included are some logo experiments and a customised Tumblr theme I created.

Brief

We began by working on a suitable re-brand with the requirement that the domain must be available. We also provided domain search and broker services and managed to find them the fantastic appleclean.co.uk domain for sale and negotiated a great price for them.

We then adjusted their existing branding to be in line with the name domain/name and completed an on location photoshoot of their new van livery and their operatives in action. With everything in place we set our designers to work on the look and our copywriter to work in SEO-mode, with strict instruction from the client to keep the copy low-key and the focus on search engines.

Brief

NewBrandGuru contracted me to improve on another web site design seen below, provided by the design agency that undertook the branding. The visual style and aesthetic of the previous design was superb so it was simply my job to translate this into a well-functioning and usable website, highlighting clear calls to action and key sectors whilst applying a touch of pixel polish.

Brief

On first meeting the then-named Folding Software Ltd, at the height of a recession it seemed glaringly obvious to me that the name needed to change. Although they initially approached us for a website, I spent a great deal of time learning and understanding what the company does before presenting the new identity and domain as part of the website design process. Working with the brilliant copywriter Alastaire Allday we nailed the creative direction and visuals and I then passed the project back to Hayden Digital for coding and bespoke CMS services.

I was contracted by Chris at Hayden Digital to re-imagine the highly successful Marketing Teacher online brand and web site. I wanted to keep the visual style simple and clear, working with their existing brand colours of black and yellow I implemented subtle elements of the classroom amongst an extremely simplified and easier to navigate layout and site structure.
