As a designer, I have studied Industrial Design and mechanical engineering at University. This combination gives me the knowledge and skill to design great products and offer a huge range of services.
Website design requires not only the programming skills, but knowledge of typography, layout, copywriting and photography. Similarly, signage design requires a combination of graphic and mechanical design that not many possess. It was in the sign industry that I gained most of my professional experience, designing everything from shopping centre maps and rooftop signage.
The sign shown was designed to change colour from white to green, and simulated the action of satelites rotating around the planet. A DXF file was used to drive an automated punching machine, which cut out the shape to an exact graphic and punched the necessary 3000 holes for the fibre ends.
The Directory maps and cabinet designed for the Queen Victoria Building, featured not only the 3D look maps, but the carvings were made from line drawings produced by photographing and scanning the buildings stonework. Click on the picture to see a close up of some of the cabinet.
I have also helped design a turbine intake nozzle for a low-head Bank-crossflow, micro-hydro system for Planetary Power. My time with them started when I designed their first website, and followed up with a promotion flier that was mass-mailed to help business.
I have designed numerous fliers, brochures and webpages, plus painted banners and signage for various groups and companies. If you require any graphic, industrial, signage or other ddesign, please contact me and see if I can help.
