EVOLVE Magazine
A monthly, 64-page music and art magazine that I was in charge of, EVOLVE Magazine at it's peak had thousands of readers and active subscribers.
Production began with a page-by-page breakdown of all content that was going to be in that issue, then artists were contacted and liaised with in order to secure interviews, artwork and other assets for the magazine's creation.
I was in charge of this liaison and design process, communicating with artists from all around the world on a daily basis, sticking to a strict monthly deadline and managing all other assets of the business, which made enough profit to allow me to be self-employed. It was mainly a solo operation, but the great artists that I collaborated with allowed EVOLVE Magazine to become a real hotspot for talent.
IBT Buyer's Guide 2024
After the success of the CD SeriesOne Buyer's Guide, I was instructed by IBT to create a Buyer's Guide for the entire portfolio of products that we offered going into 2024.
The Buyer's Guide for the products was already completed, so my main duty when designing this was to collate all the information, update if required, and ensure a concise theme across all product presentation.
The vast majority of graphics and layouts in this guide were designed by me, including photographs, vector design, text, backgrounds and any revisions that were required. Photographs of the unit and technical specifications were provided by the manufacturer, and the Graphics team helped with vector and 3D assets.
This is the currently active Buyer's Guide for IBT as a company.

Exhibition Stand Design
IBT had an exhibition stand at BETT 2024, which I was in charge of.
The exhibition was in January, and planning started in October, with a restrained budget and a focus on energy efficiency and cost savings being the two determining factors in the design process.
Over 30 third-party designers were contacted with our pitch and design ideas, from which a Leeds-based group was selected and closely collaborated with in order to bring this idea to reality.
After a design group had been decided on and floor space specifications provided, it was my job to design the backdrop overlays on the walls behind the screens, as well as liase with BETT and the stand builders, in order to ensure that the stand was ready and to our liking in time for the event.
Over 10,000 people visited our stand over the 3 days that BETT was active, including several people who later went on to become business partners and affiliates with IBT.
CD's/Tapes/Vinyl Records
As part of my time at Dream Catalogue, I regularly oversaw the B2B aspect of running a record label, as frequent communication between us and our distribution and manufacturing partners was required in order to ensure tight turnarounds on all products.
Artwork for the CD's, Tapes and Vinyl Records were designed by me, following guidelines from the manufacturing plant and ensuring that all information printed on any product was accurate, as well as keeping the artist in the loop during the design process, ensuring that every party was satisfied with the finished product.
