Graphic Design Portfolio Work by Corbin Featherstone

About me

I'm a process oriented graphic designer with decades of experience, working nearly every role in the industry.

  • Productive under pressure

    I've done my time in the trenches and know what it takes to push a project home with my sense of humour intact.

  • Front-line big brand experience

    Juggling Familiar with the entire design process, from ideation to print.

  • Diverse skillset

    I work well with other teams as I've almost certainly been in the role that I'm working with. Giving me insight into decisions that are easy to accomplish with an easy win, and the frustrations and blockers.

  • Plays well with others

    I don't have an ego that needs stroking and focus on decisions that are sensible for the whole company, this often means adapting to the needs of the team. Providing useful contributions, mentoring and support.

"...the truth is, it's not the idea, it's never the idea, it's always what you do with it."

Neil Gaiman

What's my biggest fear?

That someone is going to find out how much fun I have doing design, and is going to stop me from doing it.

My design ethos

Communicate. Information. Visually.

Always be learning

Whatever the situation, it will always be made worse by losing your temper

Being a graphic designer isn't about creating beautiful. Design serves a purpose. It has a goal and when reviewing a design it should only be assessed against that goal.

A design has seconds to make an impression. If the purpose of the design isn't immediately apparent you've lost the chance to connect with most of your target audience. The hard truth is that almost everyone who looks at your company is going to glance at it. You need to make the absolute most of those few seconds.

It's nearly impossible to meet this need with text alone

Consistency is the most important part of your design

Properly designed visuals impart tons of information at a glance. The moment you look at something you've already retained an impression about

Not to mention next level intangibles like: 'How much effort was put into this'

It's more important for your branding to be uniform than good

Get the right people in the right places, give them the tools they need, provide them a safe environment to shine and let them get on with it.

What am I looking for?

In a nutshell I'm looking for opportunities where I can add the most value.

Continuing to develop my skills across the board, this means working with people who are better than me.

Somewhere that recognizes the advantages of an agile methodology: Having solid task tracking, with visibility and accountability. Or at the least are willing to put in the work implementing such a system.
