MUSIC CENTRE FLYERS
I used the theme of simple & bold to create these new flyers. Since they are for people of all ages I decided to keep the designs simple but eye-catching to appeal to any age group, without using photographs of people which tend to age flyers quickly and lesser the professional effect. I made these flyers eye catching by using cutouts of instruments I photographed and combined bold text and selective colours to compliment and tie in with the other designs while still working successfully as a stand alone piece.

This flyer was A5 sized and so had limited space for both text and imagery. I created this double-sided Music Centre Flyer design by photographing instruments with colourful ribbons flowing from them to create the visual effect of sound. These images were created to sit as an eye-catching base visual, I then laid the text on top, keeping the text clear and visible to the reader.

This poster was created to display information about Artforms Music Service in a visually interesting & appealing manner. I decided to include images within the numbers to give a glimpse into the services provided, using children and instruments as the key visual elements. This sheet was designed for parents of potential new clients to inspire them to use the music service & inform them statistically about the vast opportunities artforms provides for children in the local community.

I produced all marketing, branding & signage materials for Artforms & Opera North event ‘Loud Leeds’. I was a key member of the events management team, set up team and official photographer for the event. I was asked to design materials based on the Music Centre promotional colours - blue & yellow. I tried to steer the designs away from the swimming pool vibes the music centres promotional materials exuded, and made the designs bold and eye catching to appeal to an audience of all ages.

Branding & Signage Designs

The Creating the Future Conference was aimed at artists, teachers & the creative industries in Leeds to inform and inspire them to continue their practices through a period of economic and recessive instability within the arts. The designs needed to be professional yet exciting and visually appealing to those within the arts, yet retaining a brand look across the board. As well as covering all pre event marketing materials I also covered the event footage as official photographer and post production PDF which was sent to all participants as a visual sum up of the days events. I created detailed maps which showed participants where to go for workshops in Leeds Town Hall and surrounding venues where events took place, sticker designs for bags which held the artist packs. I also helped co ordinate the set up team and also created a live powerpoint presentation which ran throughout the days events schedule.

I designed the promotional materials & online PDF document for the Artist Carousel Exhibition. I created artist pages, collected photographs of workshops from artists and schools, curated the back catalogue of artist’s work for the exhibition and also created a slideshow of images to run as a video installation during the show.
