Maldon Museum in the Park
Maldon Museum in the Park showcases items closely tied to the town and district's history and heritage.
A registered charity, the museum is entirely volunteer-run. Established in 1922 as the Maldon Borough Museum, it relocated in 1996 to its current home—the Edwardian-era former Park Keeper's Lodge in Promenade Park, Maldon.

After returning from Australia at the onset of the first COVID lockdown, finding work was a challenge. I decided to use the time to develop my own website and pursue freelance opportunities. During this period, I reached out to Maldon Museum in the Park, a charity-run museum that has been a part of the community for as long as I can remember. I contacted them to offer my help with creating promotional materials to attract more visitors. I made a variety of free marketing assets for them, including posters, leaflets, invitations, logos, merchandise, children's books, and even window displays. Below are a few examples of the materials I created to help promote the museum, attract visitors, and support its continued operation for years to come!
Updated Logo
Here’s the before and after of their logo. Maldon Museum in the Park wanted to refresh its logo by reintroducing the word "Maldon," bringing a stronger sense of identity and connection to the local community.
100 Years Logo
To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Maldon Museum in the Park wanted to commemorate this milestone by adding a banner to its logo. The banner serves as a reminder of the years of dedication and hard work that have gone into keeping the museum running and preserving the local heritage.
Stickers
I designed personalised stickers for visitors to enjoy when they visit Maldon Museum in the Park, adding a fun and memorable touch to their experience. In addition, I created other items for the museum’s gift shop, providing a selection of unique products for visitors to take home and support the museum.
You can see these below.

Celebration Invitation
To celebrate their 100 years of hard work and dedication, I had the privilege of designing an invitation for this special occasion. It was a wonderful opportunity to help mark such an important milestone and invite the community to join in honoring the museum's century of preserving local history and heritage.
A collection of leaflets, posters, window displays, and banners were created for Maldon Museum in the Park to help promote the museum and attract more visitors. These materials were designed to highlight the museum’s exhibits, events, and history, adding vibrant and engaging visuals to enhance the visitor experience and support the museum’s ongoing efforts to connect with the community.
