    Marketing & Print Design
    Great design should do more than look impressive—it should communicate clearly, strengthen a brand and inspire people to take action. I create marketing and print material that combines strong visual design with practical business objectives, helping organisations present themselves professionally across both print and digital media. My 20+ years of experience spans flyers, brochures, catalogues, posters, menus, advertising, signage and a wide range of promotional material for businesses, sporting organisations, schools, hospitality venues and community groups. Every project is tailored to the client’s audience, ensuring the finished design is engaging, easy to read and consistent with their brand identity. Whether producing a single promotional flyer or a comprehensive multi-page catalogue, I pay close attention to layout, typography, imagery and production requirements to ensure every piece is both visually appealing and technically ready for professional printing or digital distribution. From initial concept through to final artwork, my goal is always to create marketing material that not only looks great but also helps businesses communicate more effectively, attract customers and achieve measurable results. designer branding graphicdesigner illustrator Check out more of my work at https://www.twine.net/signin…

    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.

    Logo Design
    A successful logo is far more than an attractive graphic—it becomes the visual foundation of a business. I create logos that are distinctive, memorable and versatile, ensuring they work equally well on everything from business cards and signage to websites, social media and merchandise. Every project begins with understanding the client’s business, audience and personality. Whether developing a brand from scratch or refreshing an existing identity, I focus on creating designs that communicate the right message while remaining timeless rather than following short-lived trends. My 20+ years of experience includes corporate identities, hospitality, retail, sporting organisations, trades, professional services and small businesses. I also regularly recreate low-resolution artwork into clean, scalable vector graphics when original files have been lost. Each logo is supplied as professional vector artwork suitable for both print and digital use, giving clients a brand identity they can confidently use for years to come. graphicdesigner branding logo designer…
