Printer’s Apprentice

Printer's Apprentice

Cocktails, coffee, prestige dining and good times, all available at the Printer's Apprentice – York's newest and best cocktail bar.

Located just off the historic street of Stonegate and a stone’s throw from York Minster, the Printer's Apprentice occupies the old printer’s production rooms of Thomas Gent. Thomas Gent was an interesting character to say the least and I put together an extended excerpt from his autobiography for customers to learn more about him.

The printer’s devil was a common sign for printers at the time of Thomas Gent and a small red devil can still be seen on the street of Stonegate. This is where the printer’s shop front used to be and the location of the alleyway leading to the Printer's Apprentice.

In collaboration with the owners I created the devil printing press logo you see on this page. I initially sketched up the idea and then created the final logo. I also arranged the routing of a new side-lit perspex sign for the exterior.

Go Global

Go Global

Working with the Centre for Global Programmes at the University of York, we designed a campaign to promote global destinations for year abroad and exchange students.

The campaign echos the railway posters aesthetic from yesteryear, and were used on, floor stickers, digital screens, roller banners, posters, postcards and even drinks coasters!

1645 Fizz Bar

Branding for a local mobile Prosecco and Gin bar.

Not only did I create the iconic logo, brand and van livery; I also created all the final images you see on this page in Photoshop. As the business had not yet attended any bookings and was lacking marketing collateral, so I created photo composites using stock imagery and some basic photographs of the branded van.

Hop & Glory

A local specialist beer shop, Hop & Glory. We were asked to get involved as the business was just starting up, and provided a memorable, contemporary brand that I'm happy say has helped the fledgling business go from strength to strength.
