Print Design

Through research into printing processes, colour modes, and document layouts, I produced a collection of designs intended for physical products. Whether I utilised Illustrator for a more sleek and graphical look or Photoshop for a painterly feel, I considered the composition of each piece alongside my choice of typography in relation to the overall theme.

CHRISTMAS CRAFT CARD

A vibrant vertical Christmas card mockup depicting a paper cut-out tree, encouraging joy through arts and craft for a personalised feel.

DANDELION GOOD LUCK CARD

Accompanied by a comforting short poem, this horizontal farewell card mockup depicts the theme of new beginnings through the imagery of dandelion seeds finding their way.

An example of preparing a card for print is shown below, formatted in InDesign with appropriate margins and bleeds for accurate cutting. The back of the card details the interior contents, in this case 'blank inside', as well as greyscale branding for promotion. The pale yellow inner pages will provide contrast from the deep blue of the main design.

A6 2025 PLANNER

A planner mockup promoting a positive mentality towards approaching the start of a new year, evoking success through its gold design. The highlighted birch tree leaf held in the centre is a symbol of rebirth and hope.

BAR & RESTAURANT COCKTAIL MENU

A drinks selection mockup displaying the fictional company logo I designed, 'The Old Ferret'. The rustic theme is portrayed through a wood grain texture, cream delphiniums, and the overall neutral palette.

A5 PRODUCTIVITY PLANNER

A notebook mockup that helps keep track of a person's daily goals and emotional state. The message assures progression through all of life's ups and downs. A mother holding her child's hand as his guide represents this sentiment.

REINDEER CHRISTMAS WRAPPING PAPER

Pale green wrapping paper mockup decorated with festive imagery, primarily a reindeer in various poses. Mistletoe and holly surrounds the animal and rests upon its antlers.

The pages for this mockup were formatted in InDesign with dimensions suitable for a tall drinks menu. A selection of three coated Pantone colours in various tints were chosen for the logo and menu to ensure consistency across establishments when printing. Coated paper will withstand extensive usage and convey a higher standard to customers.
