AWS Indecon Report, October 2023, designed and print managed.

Fostering First are great to work with - their brand guidelines are bright, colourful and give plenty of scope to be creative with both photography and illustration.

“John has been working with Fostering First since 2017. In that time he has worked on over 20 small and large projects.

What amazes us most about John’s designs is his constant ability to reimagine and reenergize our brand to create a fresh look and feel with each new piece of work he does.

John takes the time to understand your business needs and that is always reflected in the final work – We look forward to continuing to work together on many projects in the future”.

Logo design for the CoCentre for Climate Biodiversity and Water.

I had designed the original CoCentre logo in 2022. The brief here was to add "Climate, Biodiversity and Water" as well as icons representing these words.

It was a bit of a challenge adding all these elements but everyone was pretty happy with how the final logo turned out.

Design and print management of a text heavy document with
bespoke infographics throughout, for Financial Services Ireland.

I worked on the research report, “The Contraception Conversation” in November 2020 on behalf of the Dublin Well Woman Centre.

It was a pretty comprehensive 56 page report containing images, icons, vector images and detailed graphs and tables and the brief was to create an eye catching and informative design from scratch.

I really enjoyed working closely with the client to get all these elements to work together and meet their deadline. I always find it really rewarding to be able to work on a job from original concept, right through to final design.

I work with Pinergy on a wide range of material, from large format brochures to stadium signage.

Earlier this year (2020), they updated their brand and I’ve been consistently working with them on updating their material accordingly.

“We have been working with John for the last 3 years and he supports us with a first class design service always to a very high standard. Very happy to recommend Skinny Designs to other marketing teams looking to outsource design work in a cost effective way”

Head of Marketing, Pinergy

I’ve worked with Paddy Power since 2017 and its a great, fun brand to work on.

A lot of the work has been in-house, supporting their existing design team, creating adverts, posters and supplements.

The pages displayed here were created for the Daily Star Sports Supplement. All content was supplied, including the front page design which was created by another in-house designer. I then put everything together for print.

I have been working with Oberstown Children Detention Campus on a freelance basis since August 2017. The artwork contains a lot of original illustrative work, displayed across brochures, A4 flyers and infographics.

I worked on-site in the Three Design Studio, for 4 months from July to October 2016. Providing on-site support to the Design and Marketing Teams, I produced ads, posters, in-store brochures, etc.

All of the following artwork was produced while working at Dragon Design.

The Carrig Brewing rebrand was a great campaign to work on as I got to manage the campaign from start to finish. The client wanted a fresh, new approach to their existing and ever growing brand.

Once the logo was signed off, it was then rolled out across many different formats including bottle labels, pint glasses, font taps, etc

All of the following artwork was produced while working at Dragon Design.

I worked on a lot of property ads and high end brochures for QRE. I was also involved in the design of their new logo and establishing their brand guidelines.
