2 I am a Graphic Designer and Web Developer specialising in visual identity, typography, print design and all-things digital. I am based in Leeds, UK, but I am willing to travel (but not relocate). I graduated last year from Leeds Metropolitannow BeckettUniversity with a First Class Honours degree in Graphic Arts & Design. I have since been working as a freelance graphic designer and have been doing so for the past year, working with clients such as Coca-Cola, FOX, Leeds Beckett University and a plethora of smaller independent businesses. Additionally, I also work ad-hoc for design agency Resistance Partners working exclusively for Relentless Energy Drink. I have produced creative work for their appearances at Leeds Festival, Reading Festival, Boardmasters Festival and Relentless Live as well as completing various other projects in-between. After freelancing for a year I have decided it s time for me to settle down full-time into a studio and I am currently looking for opportunities to help me pursue that. Whilst freelancing has been a great experience I feel there s only so much you can learn whilst working for yourself and I m excited to broaden my skills and begin taking the next steps in my career. Hopefully you find my portfolio of interest and think I would be a good fit within your studio. If you have the capacity to take on new studio members or you d like to meet me in person, please get in touch! hello@chrish-dunne.co.uk +44 (0)

3 I am a Graphic Designer I believe good design stems from a solid understanding of the clients needs, the product itself and the target audience. I research as much as I possibly can before starting a job to ensure the client clearly understands the design decisions I make. I have a working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (up to CC) and am able to utilise my skills in these applications to push the workflow envelope in terms of speed, efficiency and accuracy. I am detail-oriented and am able to communicate my ideas well to others.

4 O.M. GOULDER Identity and printed material for furniture designer Oliver M. Goulder. Identity, print, and web. I collaborated with Oliver on another project where he helped turn my design ideas for a modular piece of furniture into a finished product. He asked me to create an identity for his freelance furniture design work as a repayment for his help. I focused on the tools used day-to-day by a furniture designer to create his identity. I designed various icons such as saws, work benches and various other tools that could be used across his digital and printed assets which included client invoices and estimates, business cards and screen printed envelopes. A website build was planned but never completed, but it s something we d like to re-visit.

5 LOCUM VET STAFF LTD. Identity, print and website for locum veterinary surgeon James Ede. Print, web, and dev. I was contacted by James and asked to create a visual identity and website for his new locum vet business. A locum vet is best compared to a substitute teacher. If a member of a surgery s staff (receptionist, nurse, surgeon etc) are off work for an extended period of time then they contact a locum to fill in. The identity was inspired by locum vets filling in various positions in the industry and was applied to business cards, letterheads and a website running on a content management system which helped James list locum jobs he had available.

7 MEDIUM A workshop and event programme for local artist supply store Medium. Print, and publication. Medium is an artist supply store in the Corn Exchange in Leeds run by Emma Hardaker. They supply everything from pens and sketchbooks to wire and modroc. As well as selling art supplies Emma also runs regular workshops including life drawing classes and various others aimed at encouraging interaction and networking across Leeds art scene. I was asked to design something that would be informative and easy to put in your pocket, as well as being engaging and interesting. I chose to print the programmes on a risograph printer to capture the doit-yourself aesthetic prominent in Emma s business. We also chose to include a feature from a local artist on the reverse of the design to encourage further use of the programme.

9 FUEL Visual Identity and printed material for Leeds clubnight: FUEL. Based on neon lights to help promote the clubnight to both a rock and pop crowd. Identity, and print. I was approached by Futuresound Events to create a visual identity and accompanying printed material for their alternative clubnight: FUEL. Futuresound have recently made the decision to change the direction of FUEL thematically. It was previously an alternate night, playing mostly rock and pop-punk. They re now leaning towards more of a pop crowd and wanted their new identity to reflect this. I thought it was important that whilst FUEL is undergoing change it shouldn t discourage its existing punters from returning. I decided to try and include elements of both rock and pop and to try to remain neutral to both crowds.

11 OUTBREAK FEST Branding, print and web development for Leeds hardcore/alternative festival: Outbreak Fest. Identity, print, web, and dev. I was asked to create an identity that reflected the overall vibe of the festival. I looked at the festival s genres: (mostly) hardcore and punk two genres very close to my own heart and tried to reflect the aggressive sound that bands such as Turnstile, Cold World and Title Fight encapsulate. I also designed and developed the website which provided information on the festival, including artist line-ups and stage times. The website could be dynamically updated on-the-fly, with the ability to change the line-up order, times and all written content throughout the site. On the day of the festival the website had over 1,000 hits. The website was fully responsive and I believe it was a big help to a lot of people on the day.

13 LEEDS FESTIVAL Visual theme, printed collateral and bar structure design by Relentless Energy Drinks stage at Leeds Festival 2014/15. Identity, print, and installation. AGENCY Resistance Partners I created the design that was used throughout Relentless appearance at Leeds Festival 2014 (and will be re-used again this year). It was a visual representation of the dynamic energy that the Relentless brand encapsulates. Everything from bar menus to 12ft banners that flanked the entrances to the stage were made. I also designed the shard layout that surrounded the bar itself.

15 MCCONNELL S IRISH WHISKEY Packaging design for McConnell s Irish Whiskey brand. Print, and packaging. AGENCY Elsa Media McConnell s Irish Whiskey is a new brand of whiskey distilled and produced in Belfast, Ireland. I was approached by Elsa Media to design the packing for the bottles and cases. I also did various other bits of promotional material such as roller banners.

16 PINATOPIA & MOUNT FOLLY Risograph printed A6 flyer for Pavillion Arts to advertise Pinatopia & Mount Folly, presented by The Follies Of Youth. Print, and publication. I collaborated with fellow graphic designer Joel Colover to create an informative yet playful handout. The purpose of the handout was to help promote Pinatopia & Mount Folly, a performance piece by artist Harold Offeh. We were given creative freedom so were able to be quite playful with the visuals. Artist Harold Offeh used the eighteenth century landscape of Temple Newsam as a stage for two performances: Pinatopia and Mount Folly. Working in collaboration with The Follies of Youth a collective of young producers studying in Leeds Offeh drew inspiration from the historic grounds and its contemporary use by the community.

18 FILM SALON Identity, website and printed material for Leeds Metropolitan University s Film and Video Salon. Print, digital, web, dev, and installation. Identity, website and printed material for Leeds Metropolitan University s Film and Video Salon. During the start of my third year I had a conversation with Contemporary Art Practices tutor and artist Harold Offeh. I asked him about producing a poster for his Film Salon format; a weekly screening of (generall) art-related films. This enquiry evolved into a branding, a series of posters and an installation that ran throughout the entire year. I also created a simple website that interacted with our university s CAGD website to dynamically grab announcements made by Harold that contained the words Film Salon. The posters were printed out on A3 and distributed around the university prior to the screening. I also installed a large A2 lightbox outside the screening area which was attached to a timer. It lit up in the afternoon and turned itself off overnight (stay green!). The lightbox was used to display an A2 version of the poster and was changed each week. It was challenging to maintain these posters and keep up with the rest of my university work but by creating an interchangeable template I was able to make make life a little easier. A PDF with all of the Film Salon posters can be found here.

19 FILM SALON Identity, website and printed material for Leeds Metropolitan University s Film and Video Salon. Print, digital, web, dev, and installation. By the end of my third year Harold had this to say: This year Level 6 Graphic Arts and Design student Chrish Dunne has taken on the task of creating posters in response to each week s selection of films. Chrish started out by coming up with a coherent and impactful visual identity that has transformed the salon. Over the year he has created a series of playful responses to the films that have provided clear and focused information and given an additional insight to the works. I would just like to formally thank him for his consistency, hard work and openness, its been great working with him.

20 RESISTANCE PARTNERS Design collaboration and development of Resistance Partners online portfolio. Web, and dev. I worked with designers Andy Cooke and Nick Shea on the design of the Resistance Partners online portfolio. I then took the design into development to create a fully responsive web project. There are some really interesting interactive features on the website such as the fly-out menu. I used Kirby CMS to allow the website to be fully editable by the team. The code for the development can be found on my GitHub.

I m experienced with developing for a lot of web software, the big hitters being: WordPress, ExpressionEngine, Drupal, phpbb, vbulletin, andmy personal favouritekirby.
