This was the BIMM London Graduation Vinyl featuring students who graduated in 2018. The inside sleeve included pictures of all the students.
All of the white print on the front cover was overplayed with a spot UV. I also created a CD version.

Using Shopify as the CMS, I designed and developed the Ghost Club Co website. The website is fully optimised and mobile ready.
Working with a variety of collaborators, I also designed and modelled the SS20 Collection.

Here is just a sample of some of the logos I have worked on and developed over the years. Everything from Function Bands to Youth Charities, Churches and Coffee Companies.
I work with all kinds of organisations and can deliver anything from a simple logo, to an entire brand including brand guidelines to help keep consistency as you business grows.

Podcast
Production
During the 2020 lockdown I was contacted by Pattie Boyd to start developing a podcast of short recipes.
www.pattiespodcast.co.uk
This has developed significantly since it’s humble beginnings as the premise of the podcast now involves cocktails with Pattie’s friends which includes the likes of; Roger Taylor, Kenny Jones, Jodie Kidd and Mike Rutherford to name but a few…
I recently got asked to put together some cover art for a single by UK metal-core band; Wars.
The single is a cover of Mod Sun’s ‘Flames’ featuring Avril Lavigne and its pretty epic. But don’t take my word for it, watch for your self and see what Mod Sun has to say 😉

I have thoroughly enjoyed the creativity, planning, and delivery of projects with Matt Russell. Matt has the rare ability to scope a project start to finish, deliver the assets, work on a deadline, and always keep a good sense of humour. His work has consistently exceeded our expectation and we have kept an intentional development of projects for the past 3 years. I recommend his work and even more, his character. I’m happy to be contacted personally for further references.
As a singer/songwriter, I was really in need of a lyric video designer that would understand and enhance the message behind my songs. Matt delivered to the highest level by implementing his own creativity to design and develop the full project from start to finish.
I would recommend Matt to anyone in need of a reliable and honest creative. A privilege to work with and the final product exceeded my expectations.
