Life at Titan Publishing was very fast paced. They are the largest publisher of science fiction, fantasy and movie/TV tie-ins in the UK. They also own the Forbidden Planet retail chain, so my work with them, firstly as a designer and then as Studio Manager, was always very varied. The challenge was to be consistently creative with few resources, little budget and minimal time. The end result was often under much scrutiny from the licensors, and was a great foundation into the world of brand and brand guidelines. I also learned how to have a meaningful dialogue with stakeholders, to facilitate the best possible outcome for all involved. Managing a team is always fun and the creatives at Titan were no exception.
