    Album & CD Artwork For Music & Video

    I have been doing graphic design & photography work for Australian musicians for 20+ years.

    Unless you are in Melbourne, Australia I cannot take your photo but if you supply me with good quality images and any style or theme ideas I will create a visually appealing poster or CD/DVD artwork that will knock your socks off.

    And if you don’t have any ideas, then after a short chat, I will come up with something for you.

    Brellerz Umbrellas (2015-now) - Branding

    Brellerz umbrellas was created in 2015 as an offshoot to its parent company Clifton Umbrellas which had been in business for around 80 years.

    It was a high-quality yet economical brand created mainly to spearhead Clifton’s push into overseas markets.

    Over the last 10 years I have:

    • Chosen the font & designed the logo
    • Taken photos of the entire range of umbrellas both as product shots & lifestyle shots with models
    • Designed the artwork for various brochures, swing tags, FDUs (floor display units), CDUs (counter display units) & other Brellerz products as well as ads & banners for trade shows
    • Designed & uploaded several websites for different locations around the world
    • Produced several short videos for trade shows & the web.
