About

I’m Jack Lowrie, a graphic designer specialising in branding, with a strong focus on the sport and leisure sectors. I recently secured an internship at a Premier League football club, gaining valuable industry experience. My degree show project features Rocket, a bespoke typeface created in collaboration with Dalton Maag. Inspired by my hometown of Rainhill, the typeface reflects the area’s rich railway heritage, most notably the 1829 Rainhill Trials, where George Stephenson’s locomotive Rocket triumphed, marking the start of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. The design draws on railway tracks and station architecture, blending industrial history with a bold, modern aesthetic.

Horizon is a non-alcoholic beer brand for young people, offering a unique and adventurous experience without compromising on taste or quality. It's more than just a beverage; it's a lifestyle choice that encourages exploration of new flavours and outdoor activities in the UK, celebrating bold choices and a mindful lifestyle. For this project in collaboration with London studio BrandOpus I was selected as a national finalist against 150+ entrants and presented to major branding and industry experts. I created the whole visual direction based around co-ordinates plus much more including custom labels inspired by real uk trails for each beer.
