Logo Sketches


Logo Grid
I wanted to create a brand identity that people in Manchester could connect with and support. A unique symbol was the perfect way to represent my brand.
Docking Station Signage
Inspired by the connecting roads in the centre of Manchester, the symbol illustrates the brand name with the letters 'ER', whilst symbolising the ideologies of the brand and its benefits.
Symbol Meanings

I've created a symbol and a brand identity that is unique and instantly recognisable. It celebrates Manchester and everything there is to offer.

Co-op Academy
Walkden
I've collected a range of visual assets that I created for Co-op Academy Walkden during my time working with them.
Brand Identity, Marketing, Social Media

One of the biggest projects I’ve worked on revolves around teaching staff the importance of being a part of the Co-op. I created a set of posters to be displayed around the school, the first being ‘Brand Reminders’.
Brand Reminders
This board design looks at the history of the Co-operative movement and how the Co-op was formed. I think that it is important for staff members to understand the brand’s history to truly understand the aims and principles, and what they are striving towards.

History of the Co-op
The Happenstance Podcast chats to Co-op Academy Walkden alumni and focuses on whether the alumni’s story after school was either by chance or circumstantial. I created the brand identity and a series of digital templates for social media promotion.
Happenstance Podcast
We needed a simple way to communicate to the pupils the implications not attending school and bad behaviour can have.
I created a series of infographics that makes the information we needed to communicate clear and peaks the pupil's interests.

Main Staircase Timeline
A high school should be a place where the pupils look forward to attending and look forward to their futures. I wanted to create a building that is constantly inspiring the students and celebrating their progression.
Staircase 1
Floor 2
I designed the main staircase into a timeline of high school, highlighting the different key moments the pupils will progress through.
Staircase 2
As the timeline winds up the staircase, it highlights the key points in each individual year, from Year 7 to Year 11.
Middle Floor
The students can constantly keep track of the progress they've already made, and can look forward to the challenges ahead.
Floor 4
Students spend 190 days of the year in the building, so I wanted to make it as vibrant and as warm as I possibly could.
Top Floor
The atrium is where the students spend their breaks. I filled the panels with hundreds of career inspirations. Pupils will constantly be seeing new interesting careers and will be inspired to research into them.
Atrium
I collaborated with the Year 7's and asked them to do a worksheet about what their aspirations are for the future. Their responses make up with typography on the pillars.
Atrium

I wanted to give the Year 7's the opportunity to look back at the end of their high school journey to see if they achieved what they set out to do.
