Client:

The Association of Camera Operators

Brief:

Brand refresh & website update

Details:

The Association of Camera Operators are a primarily UK-based association of camera operators that work on a vast range of incredible television and motion picture projects. Their website serves as a directory where their members can display their filmography and contact details, in addition to showcasing their brilliant member’s work and acting as an archive for all their previous newsletters and articles.

They needed to modernise and bring their online presence up to date so I worked closely with their editorial team to create a site worthy of their work. The site has a members area, links to social media, news and article archives and is all fully responsive and mobile friendly.

Please view their outstanding body of work by visiting their site at https://www.theaco.net

To create a vibrant brand to provide structure for website and promotional materials for Hastings based theatre company.

Details:

I have worked with Patrick Kealey and Theatre Nation for over 5 years, designing promotional materials for their bold and brave versions of classics, as well as performances of new writing.

They commissioned me to define their brand identity and create a visual framework within which all audience-facing assets would be created. In addition to this I also work with the Theatre Nation team as a creative consultant, contributing ideas for creative direction and helping the team win bids for funding.

Brief:

Design and create a new brand identity for a brand new scaffolding business in Taunton, Somerset.

Details:

In 2016 I was commissioned by Lily from Higher Scaffolding to create a brand identity, website, business cards and site banners for a brand new scaffolding business. This project was very urgent and was completed within 2 weeks of commencement.

The website is consistently appearing in Google page one searches and the banners have been gaining a lot of attention – the simple but memorable design has helped the extremely hard working Higher Scaffolding become one of the top scaffolding providers in Somerset.

The launch campaign was so successful, all properties sold without the need for a reprint.

Prior to the pandemic in 2020 I started working with Nichares’ Cameron and Kim to create a classic, fresh and unique identity for their new salon. They had a very clear vision so the key aim of the project was to define their values. Within these defined boundaries I created a full selection of brand assets, from appointment cards, to signage, wall graphics and promotional posters and flyers.

Their stunning new salon opened to excellent feedback in December 2020.

Brief:

Update the brand identity and improve Google ranking for Somerset based Wedding and Event Florist.

The Tilda Rose website is full of Sarah’s brilliant arrangements, highlighted by stunning photography from Somerset’s finest event photographers (all credited). After a brief few transitional months the site has been consistently on page one of Google, moving up from page 2/3 for their chosen keywords.
