Introduction Paul Clarke is a London-based graphic designer, educated internationally with South African and European roots. I have worked with clients across a variety of sectors as a multi- disciplined designer in London, Paris, Finland, United States and South Africa. With skills including branding, marketing, print, illustration and digital, my thought-provoking work delivers a clear and relevant result, regardless of scale or budget. With over 10 years of experience in this industry, I understand the process of planning and execution from pixels to print. Whether it’s basic HTML front end design or complex flash enhanced graphics and game play, I pride myself on producing agency quality solutions. When designing for iPhone, GUI or websites, I understand and produce well executed site schematics that present visually pleasing aesthetics across all disciplines. My conceptual ideas are strong and I play an integral part in any team. I deliver on time and to the briefs requirements, often with award status. My career is about achieving the highest calibre of work, whether its winning awards or designing pro bono. I aspire to create something new everyday. Travelling, fashion, print-making, digital collage, photography, drawing, painting and screen printing are all among my personal interests. Recent clients: Adidas, Always, Bushmills, B&H, BT, Energy saving trust, HS&P, Generation Green, British Gas, Honda, Kinky Afro, We Sing Nintendo, Nicorette, Nordic games, Mercedes, Wired productions and Wyborowa.
Sit back and enjoy.

New Album launch integrated campaign.
Commercial ‘Beach’ One of three TV spots created for the album launch. ‘Beach’ was my favourite as the irony contained the true history and lack of compassion that was apparent in the South African 80’s culture.

The album was a CD but reflected a vinyl print to give the illusion of record. The flash drives were embedded into old school cassettes to add to the 80’s flavour.
