About Ian Hobbs

Welcome to me, Ian hobbs. I have a unique, creative and technical way of thinking with a professional work ethic. I am happy to work direct with the client or as a go between for sub contract work. My background is based around Signs and Print of which have taken me around the world on various visual branding projects. The experience gained over many years from customer relations through design - manufacture and installation gives me a great perspective on what is really achievable. The experience I draw upon is based on the facts that I have designed, I have manufactured and I have installed. I have lived and worked in various countries from Qatar to the Czech Republic but more recenlty I have stayed local and have had the opportunity to experience the manufacturing capabilities of Arcola's CNC - Laser cutters and direct to media print. The Visual Merchandise and POS items produced there are fantastic and my portfolio experience includes some more bespoke sign / brand items.To summarise, I would be happy to supply a service to an organisation that can benefit from an enthusiastic, creative and professional person with the ability to survey - audit, problem solve, design, project manage and implement any sign design - production related sign projects.In particular I am looking for either one off office - reception - foyer rebrands or I just as happy with multiple site projects that require an implementation process.Feel free to contact me to discuss any requirements: 07932 004320

  • Endpoint
    Project Manager - Signage Consultant
    Endpoint Jan 2013 - Apr 2013
    Qatar - Doha
    The Brief : From landing in Doha Jan 20th 2013 I was tasked (with the help of an excellent designer) to rebrand 24 retail sites and x2 Hq's by the 31st March with 14 priority sites to be completed by the 11th March. The Crunch : No guidelines - No Look and Feel - No finalised name just a brand tool kit with an alternative name that had the same characters as the name to be released on the 25th Feb and a complicated multi tier approval process. I had to ask the 2 Largest sign companies in Doha to work as a collaboration to meet deadlines.To add complications to the mix we could not obtain purchase orders - 50% payments and municipality permits ( planning consent) that were the signage companies business terms.From being supplied a base design I designed a layout that could be adapted for a quick name application and worked on the layouts with the designer. I carried out site audits (surveys) - prototyping and client liaison for sign off. Co-ordination of the sign companies manufacture and time line structuring based on the clients expectations of priority. Quality control / environmental elements and health and safety were of a major concern and educating the sign suppliers was needed.All in all in I signed up for 9 weeks at 5days a week 10 hours and day which turned into almost 7 days a week @ between 60 and 95 hours a week with an extra week extension.Overall this project was very demanding and very also rewarding, great team and good support.Looking forwarded to the being invited to the next big project in May after a well deserved break.
