PORTFOLIO

PR PRESENTATION
This PR presentation document was a delight to produce. Total free reign was given to interpret the (sparce) supplied imagery in a creative manner.
GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION
Part way between illustration and logo design these typographic images were part of a re-branding branding exercise for a Southampton advertising agency.
In The Loop montage
Part montage, part photoshoot, this fun room set illustrated an article for the RNID magazine, entitled 'In The Loop'. For more montage examples go to www.pingsweetie.com
VECTOR ILLUSTRATION
Here is a small selection of vector styles. Past clients include, Powergen, Unilever, RBS, IBM, Twinings, Heals, The NHS and WRAP. A greater selection can been seen at www.pingsweetie.com
PRESS ADS
With a 15 year history in London recruitment advertising field Alison has a strong conceptual background. Taking ideas from scamp to pitch and then to final campaigns. (And award ceremony!)
PIGS FOR SALE
This is a totally new departure. A set of concepts for cards and possibly a book. These pigs are in the process of finding a sponsor. A similarly exectuted llama concept can also be seen at www.pingsweetie.com
SPIRIT OF FIRE AWARDS
A good example of how simple and effective it can be to work remotely. This awards programme was produced to new brand guidelines and a tight deadline, with the final PDF being signed off without one face to face meeting.
WEB DESIGN
A small selection from a varied portfolio of award winning web design. Clients have included large organisations as Shell, Mars, MOD, NHS and Met Police to local start-ups and council funded projects. See more at www.pingsweetie.com
CENTRALE PROPERTY BROCHURE
This brochure was art-directed to promote a new up-market development in Southampton. Alison has over 4 years experience working within a London property advertising agency, concepting and producing press campaigns, TV spots and brochures such as this.
DIVERSE BRIGHTON
A recruitment campaign for Brighton and Hove Council that promoted the benefits of living in Brighton. The campaign comprised a brochure (seen here), an ad campaign, posters and pop-up stand. The ads read, Get a (better) life in Brighton, and Brighton up your life.
ART VAULTS
A promotion for a fourth in the series of art exhibitions being held in the medieval vaults of Southampton. Posters, banners, flyers, a website, map, t shirt and pop up stands were all produced to promote the event.
