    uniE621 Sports Nutrition Supplement Branding and Digital Marketing
    Branded seven nutritional product ranges. Designed energetic graphics and introduced a typeface that would be used in all promotions. I designed the brand look for Chaos Crew products, Stimhead and Whey Preworkout and Serious Greens. The graphic elements created a vast library of graphics for social media posts. #branding #graphicdesigner

Introduced new sporty typeface to compliment monthly product offers, such as price drop, Black Friday, 10 days of May. Successfully branched out in Sweden via a Swedish domain. All campaigns and language translated. #graphicdesigner #designer
    uniE621 Digital Marketing Graphics
    I have designed monthly campaigns for EURES CrossBorder with focus areas such as recruitment, tips, events, webinars and wellbeing. The graphics have had a 300% increase in social media presence with the promotional campaigns. The primary strategy for each sector is based on Who, What & How Eures help with job seekers. Consistency with colour and font selection for each campaign is a perfect recipe. I designed an intelligent Q&A campaign for Twitter where the viewer had to tap for the answer. This style had a better click rate and social engagement. #graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Recruitment33
    Recruitment33 are an ambitiously progressive and modern thinking team focusing their efforts on the promotion and achievement of people and businesses alike. The basis of the identity is unearthed from the word ‘recruitment’, which has eleven characters and R33 offers a three-step process for employers and job seekers with their recruitment options. Three multiplied by eleven equals thirty-three. GaryMac deployed the ‘thirty-three’ strategy to create a powerful outcome that can enhance the creativity of the business.
    uniE621 Armagh Tour Guide
    Armagh Tour Guide is a free guide for tourists. The key strategy for Armagh Tour Guide is to show the local attractions that go unseen by tourists. The campaign ‘Seen the Unseen’ marks areas within Armagh City that are free to visit and expose history opportunities of folklore and tales.

    uniE621 Delta Software
    The Greek symbol for delta is a triangle which means ‘change in’. Mathematically the symbol Δ denotes the change of quantity. Delta being the fourth symbol in the Greek alphabet shows four levels of connectivity: Admin / Manager / Supplier / Customer. The name Delta was chosen, as this related to the surge of data that is ever-changing (playing on the metaphor of the delta estuary, an abundance of possibilities) and reference to the four levels of services provided.
