MY APPROACH

Together with co-creative director Charlotte McKay and website creative Rik Hopkinson, I helped shape the visual identity to reflect the fast-changing world of content creation and consumption. We used a clean, modern grid system with energetic typography and a vibrant colour palette to make the spreads feel dynamic and accessible. The design celebrated the shift toward streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and the then-emerging Facebook Live) and highlighted diverse creative career paths in a visually engaging way.
