✏️ And a little selection of some of my Graphic Design work over the years, though it could do with updating

- Elastic Band Packaging (Student)
- Harry Potter Royal Mail, 2018
- BBFC branding, 2019
- Woolton Opticians, 2023
Three boxes in a row with an elastic band around the middle. The elastic band appears to cinch in the centre of each box at different strengths. A special edition medal pack for the Royal Mail / Royal Mint. The typography is inspired by the Harry Potter films and uses graphical elements throughout to create a complex layout. BBFC Classification Guidelines, Strategic Guidelines and Annual Reports documents. The covers show the bright age rating symbols which appear in cinema as well as brightly coloured shapes interactive playfully. Shop front for Woolton Opticians. The main sign is a rich purple with the new monogram inspired by old opticians' designs from Liverpool history.

📸 A little selection of some of my recent photography

- Witchcraft and Wonder, Blackthorn Ritualistic Folk in Herefordshire
- Puffins in Aberdeenshire
- Elephant Cup Football in Warrington
- Sunset in Glencoe
Two figures standing in colourful and unusual folklore outfits. Two puffins standing on a rock in the foreground overlooking a backdrop of a cliff face covered in other birds. Two figures are running to the left of a five-a-side football pitch. The furthest left figure is blurred but the figure in the centre of the screen is in sharp focus. A shard of setting sunshine cuts across the top of a mountain in Glencoe Scotland.
