THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUT MY CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
I am Gail, Director at Gailforce Creative and an integrated freelance designer with 20 years' experience in the design & media industry. I specialise in creative artwork & visualising but have a very extensive & diverse portfolio featuring graphic design, project management, digital/social media, retouching and a little illustration.
I use Creative Cloud Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator & Indesign in all work plus Adobe Dimension & basic Google Sketch Up & Cinema 4D for 3D visualising when needed.

ABOUT
PORTFOLIO
A lot of my current work involves seeing a project through from the initial scamps, to design ideas, to presentations featuring visuals & layouts, and to final print artwork. Luckily I have good project management & organisation skills!
Projects include full in-store pop up installs for Harrods toy floor, Hamley's window displays, POS catalogue production, influencer gifts, one-off events & POS promotions.
Brands include: L.O.L Surprise Elli Smiles Rubik's Lego Turtle Wax
I'm pretty good at taking other designers' work & turning it into print ready, high quality artwork, however simple or complex.
This includes retail POS & display units, FSDUs & CDUs, printed ads & mailers, large scale graphics for installs & exhibitions, and packaging from FMCG to gift & boxes.
Brands include: Ecover Method L.O.L Surprise! Turtle Wax
I have a niche skill set for digital, mainly focusing on banners, emails, social media campaigns, competitions, promotions & the occasional Photoshop timeline animation. I have designed & produced banners for almost every supermarket chain & some online toy stores.
Brands include: L.O.L Surprise Elli Smiles Ecover Method Sky Disney Wall's Reckitt Benkiser
My Graphic Design portfolio features catalogues, mailers, POS, display units, launch campaigns and logos.
Starting with mood boards for inspiration, I am efficient in seeing through a wide range of graphic design briefs with and without art direction.
Brands include: BHS Wall's Shiseido Samsung Aquarius
The art of creating a realistic visual for the client to really envisage their project can be done many ways.
My main skill is in Photoshop visualisation, creating scenes & products. I can used Cinema 4D to create retail bespoke units and products. Google Sketch Up is a great programme for Visual Merchandising & window displays. I am also self taught in Adobe Dimension for packaging visuals.
Brands include: Rimmel Air Wick Turtle Wax Veet Nurofen Nescafe John Lewis 20th Century Fox Egmont Universal Dreamworks Disney
Most of my retouching work is achieved throughout all the above categories, whilst artworking, visualising & designing work in any given brief.
Here are some examples of packaging retouching I worked on for Asda's own brand including photography before retouching & after shown on final packaging artwork..
Brands include: Asda
