Initially the design work was for the Logo design, but has now included 7 different T-shirt designs (Uk, China and France), multiple Certificates for both UK and France, a main Website design, which links to other host based sites (when they are running), and promotional poster designs (+multiple logo revisions, with bespoke font development): this year will see the 8th anniversary of the Portsmouth event.
The back design from 2013, seen above, took a slightly different direction.
For the last few shirts I had tried to represent the different game genre's: this time I took a more abstract approach to 'combat/war' gaming. I also wanted to show the different styles of game play. Finally, I also took to decision to subtly include the Chinese Zodiac, which for last year was a snake. 2014 was about sport games, and rather than picking an obvious kind of sport game I went for one that I could also feed the Chinese Zodiac into (the Horse).
2015 I acted as art director for Loz Hawnt and we decided to use gambling games as our theme, with the sheep/ram the Chinese animal.
2016 I settled upon a design by Laura Wade who worked closely with me on the brief and to fit within my guidelines.
2016 I designed and oversaw the production of 'medallions' for each participant and a 'Best Game' winners trophy for each member of the winning team- both projects utilised the laser cutter in our production centre. I also took over running the event and budget management etc.
I've been running the social media provision as well for the last few years.
