Freelance Designer
A freelance piece of design work. I was asked by the Art department at my University to design a large scale banner for their stand at the UCAS Arts fairs in London and Manchester. This was an important experience for me, being my first individual paid work for a client. It was important in gaining experience designing for a real life client, and working individually to a real life deadline. The final outcome can be seen in my portfolio either here on Behance or on my personal website.

Freelance Designer (part of a student based team)
I worked as part of a 3 man student team to produce the 2012 prospectus for the art department of my university. This started as work for marking on my curriculum in the second year of university, with the idea that it would also go to print as the actual prospectus. Due to things out of our control the project actually spanned deep into the summer break, with the final designs being finished late July. This was a very valuable experience for me, having to work as part of a design team for the first time on a real brief with a real client, and having to organise and design as a team to meet the deadlines we were set. It was my performance on this piece that led to the client asking me to design the banner for the UCAS Arts fair. You can see the final outcome on my portfolio either here on my behance site or on my personal portoflio site.
