Branding, Logo and Website.
A rewarding experience supporting Swansea City AFC Junior Jack Takeover for the Hull City fixture. I led design workshops with local primary school pupils, where we
co-created the visual content to promote and be seen during the match.
Badge Design, Type Design and Layout.
For this season’s Away kit, I had the opportunity to design a retro-style badge that complements the campaign’s bold aesthetic.The launch was shot at the striking Brangwyn Hall by Unmarked Agency, who delivered a sleek, stylish campaign. To finish it off, I created a bespoke blackletter font inspired by an old match day programme, a small detail that really tied the look together.
