adidas mobile app This project sees the visual creation of an idea for a brand new mobile application for the global sportswear brand Adidas. After researching into the mobile app market, and discovering that gaming is the most popular category, this led me to create the Adidas City Sprint app. Based on the brand’s £127 million deal partnership with the London 2012 Olympic games, the free gaming app only available for iPhone, and is a game played in real time in the month building up to the Olympics ceremony. Its purpose was to contribute to Adidas’ aim of overtaking rival Nike’s leading position in the UK market, by generating publicity for the brand from the promotion. The final outcome has been presented in a publication review format for Stuff magazine.

tshirt design The brief behind this project was to design three different t-shirts for boys aged 7-12, based on the spring summer trends of 2012 for the brand Respect, a sub brand of the company Leisurewear International. They had to be evidently branded and include swing tags, back neck labels and added accessories. The final outcome demonstrates my design and drawing skills on illustrator, as well as thorough research into trend, colour and current boyswear clothing, which was crucial to this project.

starbucks after hours The aim for this project was to create a new product or service that would be appropriate for an existing brand and produce promotional material for this idea. I chose Starbucks after discovering that 70% of their business comes before 2pm and wanted to come up with an idea that could create more business after this hour. Starbucks After Hours is a service which entitles opening Starbucks after hours until midnight. Being well known for their in-store experience factor, this is an expansion on this, with the addition of a chill out area at the back of the store, which is promoted as a stylish and sophisticated ‘living room’. Targeting 18-35 year old students and business professionals, and exclusively located in only 10 major UK cities, it offers a late night non alcoholic environment, with a relaxed atmosphere that allows customers to wind down in the evening. The objective of this was to propel Starbucks even further ahead of their competitors in the coffee house market, and offer their customers a fresh and exciting addition to their already incredibly popular brand.
