    uniE621 Diageo Employee Engagement Interactive
    Who Diageo are one of the largest alcoholic beverage manufacturers in the world, and own some of the biggest drinks brands. Diageo Impact was an internal programme designed to help employees grow. What and why Create an interactive booklet for Diageo employees that highlights the companies communications values and demonstrates ways to communicate with others. The booklet was designed to be informative and a guide to help others grow as professionals in any environment. Approach Using the Diageo Impact core branding as a basis with colours and fonts, I was given a lot of creative freedom with the layout as they hadn't produced anything of this nature. The rich colours lent the piece to having a fluid approach, with the gold bars breaking up the two contrasting colours, and block shapes overlayed to create the idea of developed layers. graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Heidrick & Struggles Report
    Who INSEAD are a thought leadership and global educational platform. This piece was for INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre, striving to help and educate business leaders. What and why Working directly with Heidrick and Struggles this was an annual report highlighting the challenges and goals around sustainability and geopolitical volatility facing boards and society. Approach We wanted an illustrative approach that helped engage audiences, with strong visual connections to the INSEAD and BCG brands. The leading dark green helped emphasise the sustainability aspect of the report. The front cover tied the whole piece together and helped inform the illustrations I created throughout. graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer logo…
    uniE608 Lifestyle App Brand Identity
    Who Citi-Wise was a lifestyle app made in conjunction with IntechnologyWiFi, a leading UK provider in free WiFi. What and why Intech wanted to create a lifestyle app with blogs and guides on what to do and where around the UK. Although the app was already built, they wanted a complete brand refresh. Approach Having previously relied heavily on photography we went for completely new approach, illustrating a variety of scenarios the app featured blogs and insights in. I wanted to create a set of isometric and stylised illustrations that had a modern take on a retro minimalist approach. Each bespoke illustration needed to feel individual, but without looking out of place against the rest. video advert animator explainervideo To see more of this project please visit: creativemdb.com/lifestyle-app-brand-identity…
    uniE621 HSBC Internal Comms Presentations
    Who HSBC are global banking and financial services group. What and why For this project HSBC wanted a series of interactive presentations that could be used company-wide for educational purposes in regards to working from home. Approach We wanted the slide deck to be easy to navigate for the user and visual. The simple line iconography helped illustrate the points, with the recognisable HSBC brand red as the leading colour to create that impact and contrast with the white. graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer…
    uniE621 Economist Impact Future Scenarios Cover
    Who The Economist in partnership with SAS Institute, an analytics and artificial intelligence software developer. What and why Looking to the future, this report was a polycrisis melting pot of subjects that could impact the world of Insurance down the line. From geopolitics, to cybersecurity and global catastrophes, my task was to create a cover that helped illustrate those themes. Approach Reflecting the chaotic mix of ideas, this was achieved by breaking up and containing the individual illustrations rather than creating one scene, or focusing on one scenario. The style of illustration was flat with gradients and sharp contrasting colours that helped single out certain aspects. graphicdesigner graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer…
    uniE621 Heidrick and Struggles Board Monitor country profiles
    Who Heidrick and Struggles is an international executive search and management consultancy, helping to shape corporate culture. What and why Each year they produce a set of reports highlighting the changes around hiring at board level across their leading countries. With a deep dive into the multitude of aspects facing boards from DE&I, sustainability and the future of AI. Approach After we created a template for the reports content and layout, I was tasked with producing the covers for each country profile. The covers needed to characterise the countries, and highlight an important aspect of the content, yet have an overarching style that creates a uniform across the set. Going with an illustrated approach I wanted to create a modern and playful style, that had an abstract undertone. graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer See more at: creativemdb.com/board-monitor-covers…
