    uniE621 Get Hastings Magazine
    Get Hastings is a free local arts, culture and community magazine celebrating the uniqueness, creativity and diversity of Hastings, St Leonards and surrounding areas.

    uniE621 Bon Vivant & Preview magazines

    uniE621 Re—Imagining Newhaven brochure
    To secure the £7m funding required for rejuvenation, Lewes Council needed a report to show the degradation of the industrial seaside town of Newhaven, as well as laying out the plans to make it a destination on the south coast of the UK. The typography riffs on the industrial vibe of the town. The layout is sparse and off-kilter, with cinematic photography by Benedict Stenning. Brighter, more energetic pages illustrate the ideas of renewal, with a microplan by Turner.Works. https://www.twine.net/signin/reimagining-newhaven…
    uniE621 Tatjana von Stein website
    Tatjana von Stein is an acclaimed interior designer. A new website was required for her debut furniture collection, Mise en Scène. The site needed to channel the artisanal design and decadence of the pieces, while still offering the standard content and tools of an e–commerce site. A pre–set colour palette and logo were built upon and developed into a brand that exudes high–end luxury and exclusivity. https://www.twine.net/signin/tatjanavonstein…
    uniE621 Booyah Vitality packaging
    Booyah Vitality is a family–run health drinks company from St Leonards, East Sussex, specialising in kombucha and other healthy alternatives to soft drinks. I designed a new visual identity, primarily for the products, that would mark them as a premium craft drinks brand amongst competitors and clearly communicate the brand’s core products and flavours. The design puts the simple, colourful ingredients of each flavour front and centre, in a clear and crisp layout. https://www.twine.net/signin/booyah-vitality…
    uniE621 Overthrow II book & advertising design
    Overthrow II is a proactive guide to media behaviours, outlined in 10 different challenger narratives. The book is a collaboration between the comms and media agency, PHD and the brand consultancy, eatbigfish. A luxury coffee–table book was produced for a list of clients, and a smaller, more digestible version was created for public consumption. https://www.twine.net/signin/overthrow-ii…
    uniE621 Hastings Town Deal branding & presentation
    In support of the town of Hastings’ bid for £28m of funding. The document and site needed a strong, contemporary graphic identity that captured the essence of Hastings. The website needed to be accessible and easy to navigate for public engagement. The visual language was inspired by Hastings’ iconic landscape. With simple graphic illustrations, seaside colours, and geometric patterns that evoke the rich heritage of our vibrant and creative town. https://www.twine.net/signin/hastings-town-deal…
    uniE621 Disegno Journal website
    I worked with Disegno to overhaul their website. Disegno required an easy to update and edit website, where they didn’t have to rely on developers to make tiny or significant changes. I created a bespoke Squarespace site for them, so they could take full ownership of it and upload content as and when they needed to. https://www.twine.net/signin/disegno-journal…
