I am a Graphic Designer with more than six years of experience in a Communications role. I am creative and passionate about design, accessibility and interested in helping people communicate through the web, video and photography.
I am looking for new projects and employment opportunities and I would love to hear from you. Send me an email – stuartlawler@gmail.com
The online home of the amazing Kerry Clare, writer, editor and would-be pickler. This is her place on the web where she writes, reviews and obsesses over books.
Pickle Me This was the name of her pickling business but is put to better use here. The site has gone through several of revisions and will be altered to be mobile friendly in the future.
Having worked with Maria on multiple projects, I was happy to work with her again on her personal website. She provided a really striking lead image that creates a sense of unease. The blue of the header and serifs of the font were chosen to provide a contrast to the lead image and she was very happy with the result.
This is one of the first responsive websites that I made. Creating responsive sites was new to me then, however this was not the only challenge that I faced. I also did not know what the Feldenkrais method was, meaning I had to work very closely on the content design with the site’s stakeholder. The homepage content introduces Feldenkrais, how people could benefit from it and shows testimonials from people who have benefited from this practice.
I am really interested in how motion-graphics can be used to convey messages effectively, especially now that short-form video and YouTube have become such important ways to communicate. I started using After Effects part way through a #26letters challenge on instagram and I am really excited to create more motion-graphics.
I understand that Graphic Designers need to keep up with industry trends and requirements. As part of a recent website re-design I did, I had to meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. I learned how visually-impaired people use the internet and how important accessibility is for everyone.
