Animalia

I really enjoyed working with Weiter. They were able to guide us and work with us to help develop our brand and our voice. We gathered various data from our supporters and customers, which then has shaped our organisation moving forward. Their understanding, expertise and organisation has left us in a better place.

Tony O’Neil, Founder
For Scottish fightwear brand Animalia we designed a multichannel marketing campaign to promote the launch of their line of fight ready clothing. We shot photos with two of the brand’s ambassadors, two world champion kick boxers, and transformed the photos in the ads for posters, billboards and social media.

We managed the brand’s website for the launch, writing brand copy, designing point of sale and managing the shop.

A collection of designs I’ve created for club night, DJs and ravers including shirts, posters and stickers.

For this work I create in the style that I feel in that moment, adapting my approach to suit the feeling I’m creating. When I’m out dancing, I’m most likely wearing a shirt I designed myself.

Crafting a sleek identity for a mysterious brand world

Spectre

Spectre

This was a wide project involving naming the company, brand identity, icons, documents and team clothing designs.

The name Spectre was a moment of inspiration on my part. The word suited the feel the owners wanted from the brand“ sleek, cool feel with an air of mystery and the connotations of being ghosts, in the background, making clients web products work, made the name perfect for the brand.

I used Courier New to give the feel of a top secret document written out on a typewriter. The codebreaker animation was a fun addition.

At the time Spectre were a values led business delivering a range or services. They needed a way to explain those values and services without reams of text or boring clichés.

The icons became a key to show what services had been enlisted to deliver a project. They appeared on the website, in sales brochures and in proposals, a little part of the brand language showing viewers how things work in Spectre’s brand world.

TownRock Energy

TownRock Energy

To support TownRock’s push to develop geothermal energy in the UK, I designed a sales doc highlighting the key benefits and facts around the burgeoning energy alternative.

I created a graphic style that stands in stark contrast to other green energy brands adding icons and infographics to display detained information in easy to digest ways.

In the year following publication TownRock secured huge financial backers as well as contracts to develop heat pumps. Their body-heat project with Glasgow’s SWG3 made national news and laid a platform for similar projects in the UK.

Jog Scotland

Jog Scotland

For Jog Scotland’s “Move More Feel Better” campaign, we embarked on a marketing design project aimed at inspiring individuals to go from zero to a 5k run. Our posters showing trainer David Thompson served as motivating beacons across Glasgow. With vibrant imagery showcasing the scenic hills surrounding the city, we conveyed the exhilarating journey from novice to runner.

Bold typography coupled with dynamic visuals encouraged viewers to take the first step towards a healthier lifestyle. Through our marketing design, Jog Scotland’s campaign resonated with aspiring runners, empowering them to embrace the challenge and experience the transformative power of running amidst Scotland’s picturesque landscapes.
