Graphic Art Portfolio

In response to a Facebook design competition for album art. I made the design quite technical and focused on the audio feel and look. The DJ from recollection is Danny Tenaglia and the promotion was for his new album in 2010.

We created these for the trade shows that the client attends in order to attract buyers attention at minimal cost. Coupled with some loud subwoofers (some of his products) and some promotional girls the customer quite easily travels to anywhere in Australia with a little less than a few things more than some carry on luggage.

Another Pull up banner but this one was enormous. Standing around 2600mm high it took advantage of the convention centres that trade shows are normally held at. Quite large but also filled well with content as the client had a large array of great products in the seafood industry.

A fun design aimed at a spin off from the animated motion picture Bouwulf. The Captain of the clients boat, resembled the rugged tough fantasy character. So we blended the design to reflect the tuna boats captain. The client then printed shirts and presented them as a mock uniform for their tuna fishing expeditions.

I really enjoyed designing this cartoon as it was a from scratch creation and I had designed it completely online. Done away with the pencils was a big thing for me but I really noticed a difference in the look of the cartoon. Keeping the body and legs interchangeable so I could position the deer standing or on all fours gave me room to move on their marketing media.

A stylish design on some of the Beaches in Byron Bay. With resembling symbolic images of the four most popular beaches in byron, this design was created in order to be printed onto T-Shirts and sold at Surf Central Byron Bay.

Developed as a large version of the usual 900x600mm signage for real estate, we made these taller (1200x600mm) to give a difference. The branding we kept with a coastal theme with sand, water and the green of some palms to help capture the Gold Coast and also the feel of Coomera Waters where the clients operated.

With a new range of wines being developed by Rex Watson, we created this cover to represent the cheaper level wines at a presentation. This was the lower reserve range of wines to present to new markets.

A lengthy development by myself and the marketers at Watson Wine Group into developing a wine label that would penetrate I high end market and reflect the range in a good light. This Process saw the development of some great labels that I had to show in this portfolio due to what I thought was very shelf worthy.

Another couple of Wine Labels developed for Coonawarra Premium Vineyards. These we some of the later ones in response to more experimentation in developing new designs for the label. Both very shelf worthy. Great wine too from CPV.

A banner that was created to harness as much attention as possible along Logan Road in Brisbane. This ran along the fence of the shop facing the traffic directly. Was such good positioning the customer noticed a large increase in inquiries.

Signage design for Daniel's Nissan X-Trail. This is a good example of the designs that Sabius can do for your vehicle. Any vehicle type, large or small we can develop the right branded design for your fleet or single car.

Another branded vehicle as part of a larger fleet. This vehicle was developed and designed by Sabius with the branding and message in mind.

1 of quite a few DVD Zone posters that I had produced for the stalls you see where you rent the DVD for only a couple of dollars. Bright, but not too bright, was one of many dotted around shopping malls and plazas.

Using the branding and also a wallpaper pattern that we worked on with the client we produced this signage to reflect the interior and the exterior of the beauticians salon. Striking with strong black and white contrasting colours the signage was a great revamp to a very tired and lacklustre shopping mall.

Sabius designed this new packaging design in response to a very plain and boring design from the manufacturer. We wanted something dynamic to distinguish itself on the shelves of trade warehouses. Packaging design for trade is usually quite dull and we wanted to make this design pop. Which succeeded.

Developed as a new product for the shelves of Australia with the previous imported boxes being a plain white box. Similar to the other antenna I had done from FTE Maximal, they needed something that was going to stand out on trade warehouse shelves. This was the answer, something bold, making a statement in the 3rd tier of marketing.

An advertisement that went in the Blue Water Magazine to promote the Gold Coast Game Fish Club's Heavy Tackle Masters. I began steering away from the focus on the fishing and tried to shift the focus onto the Gold Coast as a Holiday Destination for the Fisherman. The Gold Coast is a beacon of Tourism so most of the hard work of promoting the Gold Coast was done, it was just piggy backing onto the Gold Coast name which was easy. The event was a large success.

Another advert for the Gold Coast Game Fish Club, but this was prior to the introduction of a Gold Coast focused campaign. In this advertisement we reflected the fishing element and the previous fish caught during the 2011 competition. This was focused on drawing in families too with a focus on the Junior division.

This was one of a series of posters located outside of the restaurant that is located on the busy Esplenade of Paradise Point. These posters were great at communicating to the customer base for retention of customers.

This summer specials advertisement was to penetrate the market and convert more people to Acupuncture. An alternative natural therapy it isn't widely considered by a lot of people so the whole idea was to approach the potential youth with the knowledge of feeling great naturally.

This design was focused on the Australiana approach for a jumping castle. With all other jumping castles available are now plastered with superheroes or other popular cartoons. So the approach was to create something that the children can relate to with also being original.

Developed for the Mark Webber Design a Helmet Competition. Tried an Aboriginal inspired design in order to attempt to get Aboriginal art into a global stage. Used white and blues to also reflect a discordance with usual aboriginal art colours but to also give it a unique look. Wish me luck!

Adhering to the lines of Facebook's banner rules we created this slogan mixed with the branding '1' that is used in the logo. This was a great inclusion by utilising the brand's style and part of the logo by not actually using the logo which in the Facebook pages rules you are not permitted too. Success in my eyes, the client agrees.

With the need to promote the new bootcamp classes for ladies only, dubbed 'fitcamps', this poster was developed along with other's in other areas using the same design.

Promoting Pilates within the Gym environment for morning beach sessions. Using the silhouette of the practitioner with the sunset sky captures the communication almost immediately without the need for reading what the advert is about.

Aimed at females by showing a fit (but not over the top) image of a girl with a healthy and attractive body, in which the desired market want's to acheive.

This was another poster developed to capture the male market in gyms. Displaying a well defined male body to be the aspiration of most males at the gymnasium. The approach was to give the desired result, the product that will assist, the way to get this product is to make the referals.

A boutique pizza place in the Esplenade at Paradise Point on the Gold Coast. Great Pizza by the way. But we approached this design to reflect the shop decor and also harness the italian idea of pizza with the red white and green.

Designed from a napkin scribble (quite common) with the inclusion of the personal touch of a image. It's a great example of how an image can compliment the design from something that was practically nothing.

A charity with a worthy cause needed support in designing a recruitment poster aimed at education students but to also highlight the brand for exposure and recognition. For this I combined the main image with the orange overlay to highlight branding and the Indian School students that the charity aims to help.

Displayed inside audio visual expo's and other events, this banner was to reflect the branding of the client and their services.

The touch football team that we participate in and contribute too. With a new group of players we needed some jerseys to bind a new team together with, the colour scheme was maroon and blue to reflect the origin in the NRL. This combined with some spikes and a hexagonal scale we came up with this.

In light of the other wine label, the impressionistic one, this was another label developed with a contemporary approach to suit a more clean and simple shelf appearance. The aim was to highlight the contrast and the city skyline with the sun in the background to signify the sunset. Developed from my own sketch of Watson's Bay, which was a series of sketches and selected the few types that we liked.

Developed as an impressionistic sketch with the beige and peach to represent the sunset on Watson's Bay in Sydney. Rex Watson, the winemaker, had a close relation to the Bay and loved the sunset. So to reflect this I was presented with a series of photo's to develop a sketch from for originality. This was the Impressionistic version, by this I mean I drew it quite fast.

In reflection of the previous comments on the Wilson Security Hats, this merchandising is part of a larger array of merchandising developed for the Wilson Securities racing team when they first began. With Hybrid Designs still evolving from these originals that I created, the merchandising was seen on v8 racing all throughout the year of 2008.

I was approached by a gentleman many years ago by happenstance of being in the right place at the right time. It began with myself developing artworks for Glenfords Racing Team which evolved into the new sponsor of Wilson Security. From what was originally just basic pit crew shirts turned into a whole batch of merchandising for the team. This was the cap design I developed for them in which is still hybrid designed from this original concept.
