The Work Of Neil Martin

The Gateway project has been updated

Today I took some new photos of the things I had designed for Chester Gateway Theatre. These include a letterhead, business card and even a performance ticket. I really enjoyed working on this project because I’m a huge fan of corporate design. I love designing logos and in particular, the media on which the logo will be applied to.

There are so many creative possibilities when it comes to business stationery and any budget can be accommodated. Having an identity for your business is crucial to establishing a presence in your target market, regardless of what it is you’re selling. With a stronger identity than your competitors, you’re much more likely to receive business and if your business doesn’t have a strong identity, then I would love to help you come up with one. Just get in touch if you’d like to work together.

I’m in the paper today

As part of one of my University briefs, I had to rebrand a theatre in Chester named “Chester Gateway Theatre”. I really enjoyed the brief because one of my favourite things to do is to brand and rebrand. Logo design in particular is something I really enjoy. Six weeks after the completion of the project, Chester Chronicle interviewer David Holmes and photographer Ian Cooper came in to speak to us about the project for inclusion in the Chronicle. The Chester Chronicle is committed to getting a theatre back in Chester after the Gateway Theatre closed down in 2005. I was lucky enough to be interviewed and photographed with my work and today, my picture was published in the paper.

You can see the logo in all of its glory here. I’ll be uploading further promotional pieces that were designed for the rebranding very soon including business stationery and posters.

It’s really nice having a chance to display your work to a larger audience, even if the actual logo itself will not be used. I believe it creates more awareness of graphic design in general and of course getting your photo (and perhaps more importantly your name) in the paper is a small step to getting my name out there and giving potential clients more confidence and trust that I can not only get the job done, but to a professional level.
