About me
As an Art Director on Coronation Street, I understand the detailed work that needs to go into ensuring designs are accurate and precise as I work closely with the Directors to ensure their Design briefs are met.My current role is a quick thinking and acting problem solver as I organise any events or stunts/explosions that the scripts specify. This could range from a choreographed fight at a hen party to a full on Christmas concert with snow effects and live band.
Graphic Design is one of the main parts of the Design process for Coronation Street as I use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on the Mac to design a whole spectrum of specific products from Magazine covers for the Kabin to Chocolate POS stands for the Corner Shop. These designs have to be original, yet eye catching and adhere to any copyright laws.
An extremely well organised, outgoing person, I can coordinate large groups of people and events within a very tight time scale and budget.
Previous work on ITV's Period Drama 'Heartbeat' involved detailed design & research into providing and making accurate props from the 1960's. The research involved in this was both enjoyable & specific.
