Reliance Foundry · Graphic Designer

A sharper, more consistent visual system for an industrial brand.

Reliance Foundry designs and manufactures site furnishings and industrial products, from bollards, bike parking and tree grates to much more, for cities, campuses and commercial sites. I support the marketing and creative teams with print, landing pages, paid social, product imaging and campaign assets across web, social and email.

01
The challenge

One brand, many channels.

Product launches, landing pages, paid ads and emails were produced quickly by different people, and the visual language had started to drift. The team needed assets that looked like one brand everywhere, plus product imagery that could sell outdoor products without a photoshoot for every scene.

02
What I did

From guidelines to finished assets.

Print catalogue

Designed a co-branded tree grate catalogue with Mid-Atlantic Products, from the cover to the product and spec spreads.

Landing pages

Designed product, campaign and lead magnet pages in Figma, with desktop and mobile hero sets that share one layout.

Product imaging

Built installation cutaways, retouched in house product photography and finished Adobe Firefly scenes in Photoshop.

Field edits

Retouched street photography from Fort Worth and New York so installed bollards read naturally in each scene.

Paid social

Designed ad variations that test layout and headline treatments while keeping product photography front and center.

Visual system

Kept every piece on the existing palette and type, refining brand assets so new work stays consistent across channels.

04
Landing pages

Pages built around the product.

A modular landing page system for product categories, campaigns and lead magnets. One hero layout flexes from bike lockers and tree grates to the Earth Day "Buy a Bollard, Plant a Tree" campaign, with desktop and mobile versions. The Urban Tree Grate Design Handbook page turns a 12 page spec guide into a download form for architects and city planners.

Product imaging

Field scenes, part shot and part generated.

Each type of image has a job. Cutaways explain how a bollard anchors below grade, Adobe Firefly generated scenes put tree grates, bike lockers and lit bollards in context without a location shoot, and clean retouched product photos finish off the product pages.

Field edits

Real streets, with the product in place.

Field edits for Fort Worth and New York: street photography retouched and finished in Photoshop so the bollards read naturally in each scene.

Brand

Working inside the system.

Everything was built on Reliance Foundry's existing palette and type, so new work strengthens the brand instead of adding noise.
