A poster designed by me for The Great Central Railway`s Sci-Fi weekend in September 2015. My brief was to design a poster that had 60`s science fiction influences echoing the era that saw the launch of British Sci-Fi shows like Doctor Who etc, The typeface was chosen for its futuristic style and the color scheme of reds and oranges reminiscent of the planet Mars (a favorite location of many a sci-fi writer). The background features a long exposure rotating star trail above a mountain range and three UFO`s with the lead craft beaming down its otherworldly inhabitants (named Kay-tee & Ju-Ells) to the planets surface to visit the event.  

Poster design for 2014`s Children For Children concert for Leicester charity menphys at the city's demontfort hall. The poster uses a flat vintage style with shadows to give some depth giving the piece a cut-out style effect the typeface chosen reflects this whilst still being easy to read.

A Poster designed for Wigston friends of local charity's christmas market in aid of Menphys and the Meningitis trust taking place at age concern in wigston on 26th November 2011, using a retro style combined with a comic book style typeface and an icy blue colour scheme, this poster has been designed to sit alongside a number of other Menphys posters to be displayed over the holiday season that share the same colour scheme.

Poster design for Menphys Open Gardens 2011, Designed to promote an open garden event hosted by Her Grace, The Dowager Duchess of Rutland for the Leicester based charity menphys at Belvoir Lodge. The design incorporates the event information into the middle of a pair of ornate iron garden gates which have been opened to invite the viewer into both the poster & the garden. The typeface is of a bold style reminiscent of classic movie posters and is fully contained within the rectangular shape of the gate opening making for a design where the text becomes the most prominent feature of the piece. The poster also continues the theme of Ladybirds and Birds as featured on the previous poster for the oadby and wigston charity show, How many can you spot ?

A brief to design a poster for an 80`s themed disco fund-raiser for Leicester charity Menphys. The poster needed to evoke the themes and style of the 1980`s yet still needed to appear modern when displayed alongside a number of other posters on a noticeboard etc. The poster design needed to appeal to a target demographic of teens through to adults and fit alongside other posters and literature used by the charity. The final outcome is a largely text based layout with a striking Red colour scheme (the charity colour) with the main details offset at a 45 degree angle creating a dynamic form that takes its cue mainly from the majority of 1980`s electronics packaging.
