Hello! My name is Duncan, I'm an animator/illustrator living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. I worked at an advertising agency in Johannesburg before moving across the country and working at a smaller studio for a while. I decided to jump into freelancing full time to work on creative projects and spend more time animating. When I’m not illustrating and animating I will usually be found out on a run or walking my dogs.

    images GUARDIAN PEAK REBRANDING
    A good friend of mine recently did his honours in marketing and part of his project was to work with a designer and a local company and work n rebranding. My friend got in contact with Guardian Peak who were interested in rebranding but were wanting to see options from a few designers. Below is out designs. We redesigned the logo as well as the bottle labels for all 6 of their wines. The aim of the rebranding was to focus on millennials. We decided to stick with colour-coding as a way to promote brand awareness and make the labels recognisable. image artdirection branding graphicdesign rebranding logo design mockups wine adobephotoshop colour freelancer adobeillustrator
