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
