Mr D - wings & wheels


Glasgow based songwriter Mr D wanted a simple, uncluttered design for his first CD release.
He was keen for the concept to reflect the Americana influences found in his music.

G7th website


G7th website design.

Working in close connection with a web developer we created the G7th site to help promote the business and its capo products. Fundamentally geared towards both distributor and end user we chose a magazine style page layout with an emphasis on quality. In order to achieve this we outsourced the service of a professional photographer and arranged a one day shoot. This helped to build the basis for our website and print work and has given G7th a strong brand identity.

G7th brochure

I was asked by G7th to create a 4pp brochure that they could have as a downloadable pdf from their website.
This could then be used by the distributors to promote their product range.

Coco cake logo

Logo design for Coco cake shop in Melton Mowbray (influences taken from the rococo style).

P4 website concepts


I was asked to create 3 concepts for the P4 lighting website, the development of which is still underway (i will post the link when complete).

Print Copy Consulting business card


The centurion graphic within the design of this business card was used to imply strength & reliability.

G7th counter top POS


Designed for the American market this acrylic counter top display included an actual capo attached to a pull cord.

G7th Capo ad


Having won the 'players choice' award G7th wanted to express there thanks to the voters with a full page ad in Acoustic guitar magazine. The photo shoot we had put together for the design of the website included a 'champagne' concept that seemed to work perfectly.

G7th Capo packaging


Having been asked to create a logo for G7th Capo I was then approached to take a look at the packaging design. Working closely with the product designer I put together the artwork and prepared the files to print onto a hi-gloss card (with a special pantone silver). We also used mirri board behind the capo to give it depth and maximum appeal at the point of sale.

Namm exhibition show

Asked to create a visual for the NAMM exhibition show i was able to use a supplied file and add in the graphical content. The design was approved and produced at the show in California. This was before the re-design of the IBCT logo (see below).

Frankfurt exhibition show


Both IBC Trading & G7th shared space at the Frankfurt Music exhibition and asked me to produce the panel layout designs and supply the files to be digitally printed.

IBC Trading Ltd


IBC Trading Ltd requested i had a go at re-designing their logo to give it a contemporary feel that would have more impact at trade fairs and on their advertising. The ad to the right was printed in the trade show magazine.

Jackie Leven & Ian Rankin


I was asked by Jackie to create the artwork for the CD 'Jackie Leven Said', a collaboration with fellow Fifer and author Ian Rankin. He wanted it to reflect the design of Ian's books and already had an image he wanted to use for the cover. I created the majority of the artwork from old photographs found in a junk shop. The record was a live recording from a gig in Edinburgh and released on cooking vinyl records.
