Simply Younique are a small but perfectly formed provider of high-quality bespoke memory books and DVD&#8217;s.
I was asked to help their new business by creating a stylish logo and a website to showcase their products. After working through several iterations we arrived at the final clean, simple design.

<p>The Bolsover School is a specialist Business and Enterprise Secondary School in Derbyshire, UK.</p>
<p>Whilst employed at the Bolsover School I was asked to redevelop the website into something more professional and modern. The previous website suffered from a lack of direction, poor navigation and lack of visual appeal. It also needed to be easy to manage and update in the future.</p>
<p>The resulting website, now in its second iteration, is designed from the ground up with accessibility in mind whilst also being attractive to the eye. It has all been completely re-organised and a more prominent news and blog section added.</p>

<p>Rethink Severe Mental Illness is one of the country&#8217;s largest mental health membership charities working to help everyone affected by severe mental illness recover a better quality of life.</p>
<p>Whilst employed by Rethink, I was asked to design a promotional leaflet to help boost their membership. It needed to be fun, eye-catching and memorable. I came up with the theme of power in numbers and created the final illustration based around that concept.</p>
<p>The resulting leaflet was used in their East Midlands wide campaign.</p>

<p>David A Stafford is an upcoming Historical Fiction and Graphic Novel author.</p>
<p>He needed a custom theme for his Blogger powered blog which showed a bit of personality but didn&#8217;t get in the way of the content. The resulting design combines hand-drawn elements within a clean but grungy look.</p>

<p>Green Health Enterprise is a social enterprise providing a variety of opportunities for people with mental health problems in the lush surroundings of Shipley Country Park.</p>
<p>They needed a variety of leaflets to promote the arts and horticultural activities they provided in Shipley Country Park, Derbyshire. They wanted something organic and textural to reflect the horticultural basis of the project whist also standing out from the other leaflets.</p>
<p>I designed and illustrated two leaflets; one for the arts groups they run and the other for a commemorative woodland project.</p>
