Pat Likes Hallmark

As some of you may know, I have just recently finished a work placement at Hallmark Cards UK. This was such a great experience - from designing greeting cards, to creating hand drawn illustrations and typography, learning about printing and production techniques, to creating my very own card mock ups.

Here are some card designs I created whilst on placement at Hallmark :)



My last and most exciting card - A lenticular ! ^_^


A massive thank you to Claire Hoey and the Hallmark creative team for the great opportunity and wonderful experience! I've learnt so much and have enjoyed every minute of it :)

Penguin Classics Competition

The task for this brief was to redesign the cover of a Penguin book classic. Distributed at random, I was over the moon to receive my copy of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! ...Can you guess by the cover which part of the story is my favourite? :D

Final Major Project: Philippine tourism / Promotional illustration / Destination branding

Based on previous research, one of the big problems when promoting Philippine tourism in the UK is the public's lack of awareness as to what the Philippines has to offer in terms of a holiday destination. 

I decided to address this problem using an interesting geographical fact about the country: The Philippines is made up of a total of 7107 islands. A whopping 7107 islands to explore, meaning at least 7107 different adventures to choose from! From scuba diving to bird watching, there's something for everyone :) 
This became my unique selling point, appealing to as many people as possible - adventurers, animal lovers, shoppers, beach bums; the Philippines is for absolutely anyone and everyone.

There's 7107 islands to explore... Which one's for you? :)


Logo design:


I carried on this theme into my poster designs. By promoting individual destinations, the USP is continually carried on throughout the campaign. Visually providing audiences with a wide range of locations and activities; a few of the 7107 different islands to explore and adventures to choose from!

I enjoyed this project so much. An amazing way to end my 3 years at university :) 
Hope you enjoyed looking through my work and I hope you consider the Philippines for your next holiday adventure :D

D&AD: Diesel: Sigur Rós - Untitled 3

The task for this brief, set by D&AD and Diesel, was to create an illustrated interpretation of a musical track that would be experienced by the viewer in an unconventional and pioneering way.

As you may have seen from my previous post, my chosen track was Untitled 3 by Sigur Rós; a song that is very personal to me.

- Illustrated interpretation -

My personal interpretation of this track was: Freedom, happiness and liberation through death. The awakening, rebirth and freedom of a soul when a human dies.

My concept was to create an animation for the track. A red balloon symbolising a human soul set upon a brand new world and chapter of life. We follow this balloon through a number of illustrated scenes, each symbolising different emotions and experiences -> confusion and loneliness -> the realisation of death -> the exploration of the new world -> awe and amazement -> finding other lost souls (balloons), and finally -> peace and freedom (when they all float away into the sky together).

Here is the final animation.




- Pushing the brief further : How to allow viewers to experience this 'illustrated interpretation' in an unconventional and pioneering way - Reinventing illustration as a powerful tool for promotion and expression -

To allow my audience to gain a unique and unconventional music experience, my idea was to integrate a brand new market product, Playbutton alongside my illustrations. Playbutton is a wearable button that plays music: A record that plays itself
My concept was to turn the Playbutton into the red balloon in my animation. This product would be included in every CD / DVD of the Untitled 3 single, alongside an invitation to the art gallery exhibition.



Concept: Instead of the usual headphones playing a voice recorded guided tour of the art gallery, the audience would be wearing the Playbutton balloon. As they browse through the illustrations (scenes used in the animation), they would be listening to the track Untitled 3, allowing the audience to unconsciously be a part of the animation. To be the red balloon. They would be playing out the animation video, walking through each scene, each emotion and experience, making them the red balloon and making it their personal journey through the song.
