HELLO
I’m a creative hybrid. An accomplished graphic designer and art director, copy writer and photographer… bringing brands to life in all media. I’m passionate about big ideas… and the smallest details. I’m incurably curious. Welcome to jo dixon creative.
SERVICES
What can I create for you? My skills include…
Concept Creation
Ideas are my passion and the life blood of any project. Coming up with “the big idea” that can be effectively rolled out across all forms of media and positively impact a client’s business is a rewarding and exciting part of the creative process.
Design & Art Direction
Since gaining my degree in Graphic Design, I’ve diligently polished my craft, with special interests in type and photography. I create initial sketches and tight mockups, right through to finished artwork for print and digital, using Adobe CC to an advanced level.
Branding
Branding isn’t just a logo… It’s how you look, what you say… and how you say it. I can help you to define your USP, find your tone of voice, redesign your complete brand identity (including a snazzy new logo) and roll that out into all digital and printed applications.
Digital Content
I create overall look-and-feel for websites and work with developers to create custom sites from the ground up. I can also customise WordPress themes, work with email marketing platforms and create content for online and social media use.
Copy Writing
I’m fortunate to have worked with some world-class copy writers which has helped me to hone my own writing chops to the extent that I regularly write copy for integrated campaigns, websites and online content. You get a designer/writer hybrid… and save!
Photography
As well as art directing photo shoots TV ads and brand videos, I also shoot my own work. I have a special interest in reportage, travel and portraiture. Some examples are showcased on this site and I also have a dedicated photography website at: jodixonphoto.com
WORK EXPERIENCE
Experience? I’m very fortunate to have worked with some notable agencies on both sides of the Atlantic, plus a veritable ‘cornucopia’ of freelance clients across the globe…
