Eleanor Ratliff - Graphic Designer

Nearly a decade of experience as a graphic designer, creating bespoke graphics for a diverse range of clients, gives me the confidence to tackle any subject.

I love a challenge and thrive on variety, working with small organisations to international NGOs, on projects from technical reports to board games to major exhibitions and everything in between.

WaterAid

Bespoke graphics for the drink more water campaign, including posters, stickers, banner stands, and coasters.

The bubble graphics were so popular that they were used in several future publications.

Positively Women

The design for Positively Women magazine was originally developed to incorporate their existing logo into a new more dynamic identity which was then rolled out across the whole organisation.

Positively UK

The rebranding of Positively Women to Positively UK involved creating a flexible suite of logos to encompass all areas of the newly expanded organisation. The combined logos are used to show the range of areas covered by Positively UK using a graduated palate to show flow and continuity.

The Conservation Foundation

The brief from environmental awareness campaigners The Conservation Foundation was to produce a modern youthful update to their seasonal newspapers as well as bringing innovative ideas to marketing materials for major campaigns.

Sasa Music Promotion

Working with Sasa Music Promoters I have produced a range of marketing materials including artists brochures, flyers, posters and press ads.

WaterAid

Original logos and graphics to promote fundraising activities at a local level (from hosting tea parties to climbing mountains).

WaterAid Technology Notes

Drawing together resources from across the organisation, the brief for the Technology Notes was to presenting complex information in an accessible way. I created clear technical diagrams to illustrate a library of resource documents to be used in the field.

Roundshaw Residents' Handbook

Part of a series of tenant handbooks with a brief to engender community pride. Using design and photography skills to produce an attractive, loose-leaf handbook that can be updated page-by-page.

Forensic Therapies Annual Report

Forensic therapies area of activity is counselling in prisons and the brief for this annual report was to present communication and nurture. Because of the sensitivity of the subject I used anonymous images and used a neutral earthy palate.

Royal Albert Hall

I am responsible for project management, photography and design for the annual Festival of Remembrance schools artwork exhibition. The challenge for this exhibition is to represent a variety of artwork in different sizes and media. Artwork is combined with photos and quotes of the children to provide a view not only of the finished pieces, but also the children's engagement with the project.

Each year we receive wonderful feedback from the children, teachers, funders and members of the public. This year the appreciation of the exhibition was underlined by one of the funders being so impressed they wrote a large cheque on the spot.
