On 22nd February 2015 Leicester City Council`s old Offices known as New Walk Centre where destroyed in a controlled explosion. Hundreds gathered in the surrounding streets to see the towers fall into their own footprint with anticipation rising as the countdown began a series of loud bangs where heard before the towers fell in seconds leaving a large dust cloud and otherworldly scenes on the surrounding streets which where now coated with a fine layer of dust from the fallen building. My video filmed on Pocklingtons walk features the countdown demolition and dust covered streets afterwards. Images Follow

Design for a voucher to be given as a prize at the Menphys Valentines ball. My design takes its color scheme from the events posters etc and extends it using an 80`s action movie style typeface and the outline of a helicopter intersecting the border to give the dynamic of it flying out of the voucher toward the viewer.

  Designed for local charity menphys this poster for a valentines ball at Thurlaston Country Park is an updated version of a previous design the heart design being all new and featuring lots of hearts coming together around the valentines ball title written in a simple and easy to read typeface.  more images follow.

My short film follows steam locomotive Rood Ashton Hall from Croft Hill in Leicestershire through to Newark-On-Trent on a cold and frosty morning in December 2014. The Sun was casting long shadows over the frozen ground as Rood Ashton Hall thundered and steamed along the tracks and from my high vantage point on Croft hill the scene echoed one from the Polar Express Film. Next up on the route was troon way bridge where with the skyline of Leicester as a backdrop the engine steamed directly toward the camera filling the air with smoke. Last up was Newark-On-Trent where we see the engine speeding over the river and onward to the Christmas market in Lincoln.
