– Michael Wood, Head of Broadcast at Must Have Ideas
The team at Must Have Ideas approached me with the exciting news of ambitious next phase of their hugely successful British retail business – launching a brand new TV shopping channel.
I worked with them to create a motion graphics package in Adobe After Effects that could meet the demands and flexibility requirements of broadcasting 24/7, including pre-made title animations, promotional stings and easy-to-use templates, such as the daily broadcast schedule, with automated functionalities so the team could have the graphics for the day ahead ready within minutes.
Here’s an example of one of the 19 title animations created for the channel. I delivered a variety of colour schemes and variations on the animation to keep the visuals fresh throughout the continuous broadcast.
I also delivered a couple of promo videos cut together using footage from existing marketing material, linked together with motion graphics.
In total, around 30 graphics assets were created to facilitate the launch of the channel and its visual identity for the years to come.

Inject energy and visual wit into brand new outrageous series Nella Rose’s Flight Mode for Channel 4.0, produced by Goat Films
A complete graphics package for the 6 episode online series that captured and enhanced the bombastic tone of the series
This series launched as part of Channel 4’s new digital-first channel, Channel 4.0, which lives across YouTube and socials. Flight Mode is an airport-based gameshow that puts opposing teams through a whole host of wacky games and forfeits, competing to bag a free holiday.
The first task was to create an airline brand for host Nella Rose, that would used across the props and set. It had to be punchy and set the tone for a show that involved a lot of adult-humour:
As a little bonus I also created a range of tongue-in-cheek brand banner ad graphics that could be sprinkled through the episodes:
A snappy title card for the series:
Vibrant lower thirds kept track of contestants and team names, over-sized in design to suit being viewed on a phone screen:
Graphics also help viewers follow along with games such as Emotional Baggage:

Create a new look logo for a YouTube channel rebrand
I needed help rebranding my YouTube channel and I’d spoke with a ton of designers before eventually speaking Andy. When first speaking with Andy, we went over what I had in mind and Andy politely asked questions on the new branding ideas and future proofing myself as much as possible. Rather than simply saying “yes, I can do that” and taking my money, we went over the branding in detail and his guidance ended up shaping what was a very basic idea of mine, into a great idea between the two of us.
Andy made every effort to keep me up to date with how the project was progressing and managed to produce a 3D logo sized for all platforms and a 4K rendered 3D animation to use in my videos, in less than a 48 hour turnaround. I was very picky towards the final stages of the project and Andy went above and beyond to make amendments at my request, to leave me with new branding that I’m extremely pleased with! A pleasure to work with.”
