Impact30
Impact30 is a programme delivered by the Northern Innovation Hub designed to develop business leaders of the future.
I have been lucky to be part of the programme & was commissioned to create a 1 minute animation to share my experience & encourage others to apply for the next cohort.
I used big, bold typography, colours & geometric shapes to create a fast paced, lively & dynamic video designed for small screens that would catch people’s attention.

My Background
After an MA in Digital Film & Animation, I cut my teeth designing motion graphics for the music, fashion & entertainment industries in London. Creating visuals for the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Vivienne Westwood & Cirque Du Soleil. After 6 years, I moved to Glasgow to work on an ambitious online educational project for Twig World as well as lecturing Visual Communication at Abertay University. From there my passion for visual storytelling led me to co-found & direct animation studio Playdead (now Revenant) for 7 years. Highlights included winning several Royal Television Awards, being nominated for 2 Scottish BAFTAs & designing the titles for Oscar nominated documentary Virunga. After taking some time out to travel, I then relocated to the Highlands of Scotland in 2018 & set up Jonny Harris Design. With the simple aim of working closely with clients to create beautiful visual content that captures imaginations & inspires audiences.
