Gorton Studio is Europe’s original prosthetics and makeup FX school. Founded in 2003 by multi award-winning prosthetics designer Neill Gorton, it has led the way in teaching the subject ever since.

From magazine editorial design to marketing materials for their online courses teaching prosthetic makeup FX, to the book design for their most recent publication, ‘Dick Smith – The Godfather of Makeup’ by Joe Nazzaro, working for Gorton Studio has pushed the design boundaries of Oakshed and led to some really exciting design projects.

Oakshed has worked on Gorton Studio’s Prosthetics magazine for a number of years. A Graphic Designers dream job – working with lots of images and (nearly) free rein over the editorial designs – a joy to work on!

I work regularly with Hanna on intensive, design-heavy projects and her advanced skill set is unique and invaluable. She is creative and technical in equal measure, and her project-management experience means she is in control of deadlines and naturally works with consideration for the bigger picture. She is impeccably professional, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I’m always delighted with the quality of the work she produces.
