“Meet the family” – the full range, as it was, of Jacobs Jams products.
Created in Autodesk 3ds max and Adobe Photoshop; the texture for the contents was created by pouring the contents of an actual jar, out onto a scanner and simply scanning. Once I had modelled the jar, I could produce product images at less cost than photography.
Autodesk 3ds max and Adobe Photoshop were used to create this image, for use on the side of haulage trailers.
3D model of industrial deodoriser packaging made using Autodesk 3ds max.
The PMP (Push Me Please) was designed for young children who, though too old for a regular buggy, were still likely to find longer walks very tiring. The PMP was designed to fold down into a small space and be very portable. I assisted in making revisions to the product design, before commencing with the product illustrations. The line drawings were created using Adobe Illustrator. Stuart Sewell and I used Autodesk 3ds max to create the photo-realistic illustrations.
These line drawings, created in Adobe Illustrator, show the PMP as used by a young boy of three or four years old and fitted with optional baby carrier.

In this detailed image of the PMP’s wheels, the adjustable foot rests can be seen.
This illustration shows the PMP in its folded configuration. Central to the concept was the requirement that it would fit into an easily carried bag.

After the 3D model was completed and depicted from various angles, the client requested that the PMP was shown in four different colour schemes.

Cutaway of Carbon Filter Filtration Unit, showing granular carbon and fine mesh. 3D model created with Autodesk 3ds max.
This 3D model of a ventilator box / silencer was created in Autodesk 3ds max. Advanced lighting and materials were used to produce a photo-realistic image. The cross section to the right shows the sound dampening foam lining.
Illustration of cosmetics for men, created with Autodesk 3ds max and Adobe Photoshop.
I both designed and illustrated this packaging. The client already had the logo at hand: my brief was to incorporate this into a product brand that I was to design. This design was then to be illustrated, prior to product manufacture, so that the marketing material could be printed in advance. The carton had to look both masculine and slightly clinical without appearing “cold”. This was a critical balance to achieve as cosmetics for men were then still a very new idea.
I am not sure exactly what this control panel does. I was simply given one of these units and asked to model it. It was created in Autodesk 3ds max and finished in Adobe Photoshop.
Electronic ballast for industrial light fittings. “I know its just a metal box but make it as exiting as possible”: that was my brief. Created with Autodesk 3ds max and Adobe Photoshop.
Logo for Central Taxis, in Wolverhampton; the colours were based on both New York taxis’ and the local football team’s. This should really be in Logo Designs but the yellow background meant it would sit better here.
Here the Graduate enterprise logo is inverted in colour and set against a textured background. Created in Adobe Illustrator, this image was to be used for banners and exhibition stands.
Kingfisher Kustoms is a company specialising in custom parts for vintage Volkswagens. The logo was created as a nod to the famous VW logo but with a very particular retro twist, recalling the 1950s and the “golden age of motoring”. This image depicts the logo on a red background, set against a vintage radiator grill feature.
Autodesk 3ds max and Adobe Photoshop were used to create this concept for a plant food label. In the event this work was never used; though I much prefer it to the design I did, that was taken up.
Autodesk 3ds max was used to create this 3D model of an early type of wind turbine. A very simple lighting system was used as a more sophisticated setup resulted in an image which, though more realistic, was less effective in showing the internal mechanism.
