    uniE613 Illustration & Artwork
    Illustration is what got me started in the world of graphic design. Any opportunity I have to inject my illustrative flair or artworking into, I’m taking it. Working on a plethora of festivals and shows in recent years has awarded me the opportunity of complete artistic freedom when it came to the design of Accreditation laminates and Food and Beverage vouchers for events. Behold, a selection of my best works in the area of illustration/artwork for these vouchers. Illustration & Artwork](https://www.twine.net/signin…
    uniE613 Animation Hype Reel
    Animation Hype Reel](https://www.twine.net/signin I’ve been dedicated to improving my craft in the area of animation and motion graphics over the duration of my design career. I see this as an area of great interest and thoroughly enjoy the storyboarding and troubleshooting that comes with the process. Please enjoy the following examples of animation work across various projects, all using After Effects.…
    uniE613 Harbourlife 2023
    Harbourlife is Sydney’s most iconic party. Situated on Sydney Harbour’s foreshore, it is the house music event of the year, attracting patrons from around the world. Each year it plays host to a hand-picked selection of international and local house music artists. I was awarded the opportunity to design the branding for the 2023 show. The Brief: Create the master artwork for Harbourlife 2023. Appeal to both existing and new patrons, keeping a nautical influence in the design. The Execution: Drawing inspiration from nautical flags, kaleidoscopes and Defected marketing, I wanted to appeal to the European market as a new audience, seeing as we had a number of artists on the line up and a large number of patrons from England, Ireland and Spain. The nautical theme was carried through with the geometric shapes, reminiscent of those on nautical flags. There was influence from kaleidoscopes in my animation to play into the feeling you get when listening to house music. I tried to make these shapes dance to the track. After all, Harbourlife is a huge party, so why not have the creative feel like one. Portfolio Link Harbourlife 2023 Harbourlife Instagram Harbourlife Instagram…
    uniE613 Listen Out 2023
    Listen Out is Australia’s primary national dance music festival, which tours a dynamic hip-hop/electronic line-up, attracting over 200,000 patrons each year. I had the pleasure of developing the branding for the 2023 tour. The Brief: Refresh the branding of Listen Out, introduce more colours, moving away from dark and broody look from 2022. The Execution: Lightly based on subway maps and circuitboards, I wanted to mirror the grungy feeling of the subway to reflect that of hip-hop and electronic music, but keep with the brief of being bright and somewhat inspirational. Hence, the “pipes” were born. These pipes have been animated to be reminiscent of pulses of energy into circuitboards. Though the branding and overall graphic design was produced by myself, Storyboarding and major animation was produced by Vandal, and videos were edited by Leo Kaczmarek. This branding design received very positive feedback from the client, and parent company in the UK, and I can easily say it’s one of my favourite projects to date.

    uniE613 Field Day 2024
    Field Day is Sydney’s New Years Day festival, having run since 2002 in the iconic location of The Domain. The festival attracts approx. 30,000 patrons yearly and has hosted some of the best, including Cardi B, Tame Impala, Mark Ronson, Peggy Gou, KAYTRANADA, and so many more. I was awarded the role of assisting in Art Direction, and the rollout of graphic design for the entirety of the marketing campaign, along with all on-ground signage and accreditation and wristbands. The Brief: Bring a friendly psychedelic feel to the branding for 2024. The Execution: Working with Studio Ahwa, we developed the neon Australiana look and feel for the branding. We wanted to include as much Australian flora and fauna found at the site of The Domain, to make the branding feel very homely and inviting for patrons looking for a daytime party on New Years Day. The Work: After being supplied the key elements of the branding, it was my role to design and and export all marketing collateral for the lead up to the event. Ranging from Lineup posters and social content in various formats, to website skinning, and all EDM artwork and digital display ads. It is also my responsibility to ensure the branding follows through on all event related collateral, such as wristbands, maps and signage on site. The output for a single event spans across 4-5 months, whilst juggling other events in Fuzzy’s portfolio. Portfolio Link Field Day 2024](https://www.twine.net/signin…
