Side By Side

I LOVE getting freshly printed file copies in the office in the morning!

Here we have a newsletter for Havens Hospices, (a Charity in Southend) the second edition in the new branding. I love it.

Nurses at Havens Hospices catching up with the latest news!

Tri-fold leaflets are SO '96

Received some great feedback from the client on the ProLift logo re-design and was asked to re-design that hideous leaflet I included in the post before this.

I HATE tri-fold leaflets. I don't know why but they always seem kind of dated to me, just gathering dust in those doctors surgery waiting rooms. So I took this as an opportunity to try and change my own opinion and bring some life back into the tri fold leaflet.

Return of the Ugly

Not just the return of me! But a poster i completed a few months back that didn't end up getting used for the event. I really liked this piece so i thought i'd share it with whomever reads this!

I've got a few bits i've got to blog about from my day job, some really nice high spec brochures and that, just gotta wait for the final thing to come back from our printers!

It's gone to print...

I created the brand for this development in Clapham back in June i think, and we've finally got the approval to go to print with it from the client. I'm SO excited to see the final thing. Foiled logo with a special printed on a velvet/soft touch stock, hardback, casebound. Print geek alert!

Heres some spreads from the brochure.

I created everything from the brand to typographic layout and even the map (i'm slowly enjoying creating these!)

Logo concept

So i haven't totally abandoned this blog! Its been hectic at work of late and also i've been blogging a lot more on my boring life, mostly dieting and stuff over on riots and diets (there a link over on the right hand side if you wanted to see.

This was a logo that didn't get chosen for a housing development in Felixstowe. Which i'm actually currently working on a hoarding design for, which i'll upload in a few days after i've worked on it some more. But i liked it, so i thought i'd share it.

Heres an initial sketch.

 

And heres the vectorised product.

unused logo concept

This wasn't chosen to put infont of the client, but i still like it.

This was for a (redesign) logo design for a local development in Hawkwell, Essex.

Hip City Cats Flyer

So i got asked again to do this months flyer for Brightons biggest northern soul night, Hip City Cats at the Jive Monkey. I designed another retro/vintage poster / double sided flyer. I'm in love with all of these typefaces at the moment, so it was a pleasure that i could use them all AT THE SAME TIME. (which is totally not supposed to work in the world of design, but this does)

Anyway. Here it is.

It's July, where has the time gone?!

I've been a busy bee these past few weeks, both in and outside of work, freelance and personal stuffs.
It's all good though, better being super busy than to be super bored!

Here's a logo i've been working on at work, for a small (think there's only 15 being built) new housing development in Clapham, London. Specification of these properties are very high.

Still in the early stages, but i'm going to be working on putting together a brochure for these properties,  the brochure will include embossing, foiling, metallics etc. Lavveelllyyy.

The Owl and the Gramophone

Bit of a small post, have been working on a series of illustrations for an estate agent in Hertfordshire, who's just updated their branding and re-designed their newspaper adverts. They wanted a more personal feel to go alongside some marketing messages. This is what i've produced for them:

Experience

Record Sales
More updates to come!

2011 is the year for a facelift

If you head over to my website you'll see its had a little face lift, and a general tidy up layout-wise.

Still a few bits and pieces to add, more work and images etc, but I've got the main framework in place now!
what do you think?
