Hello. I'm Daniel Vaughan. Welcome to my portfolio website! Creative Computer Games Design Graduate || General Artist and Animator


Directory Squirrel are an online business directory that gets to the point! For businesses, they'll put you in front of your potential clients so you can grow your business.

After designing the Pixel Patch logo I was then asked to create a logo for a business directory website. The criteria given to me was that it had to match the style of the website and the general thought of "a squirrel with binoculars". From the concepts a side view design was chosen but after seeing the final design it was altered so that the squirrel was looking off to the side rather then into the sky.


Pixel Patch is a Web Design & Development company based in Kent with the tagline of "creating your patch in cyber space". Their services include website consultancy, web design, content writing and social media management.

I was asked by the manager of the company if I could design them a new logo for their business. The criteria I was given was to design a simple rocket, which eventually turned into a shuttle after showing him my initial designs. The only other specifications were that the colour scheme had to match the that of the text used on the website.

GamersFTW is a leading video game news,
reviews and features website. They are well established with a loyal reader base of over 50,000 Twitter followers, and excellent industry relationships. They're not aiming to be the biggest out there by any means, but they do want to provide the most insightful variety of content that engages with their readers

After creating an avatar for GamersFTW to use on their social media sites I was asked if I could design some merchandise with the character to help promote the site. As the character was new to the site no one would now how it was connected to us, so I redrew the sites panda mascot to match the style of the avatar so that they could feature together on promotional material. The Panda design was taken out of one of the t-shirt designs and eventually replaced the sites original logo.
