Tilbury Christmas Lights 2012 poster design and illustration

We received a word document that the client wanted to print for this event. It was bad and we offered to re-design it. This is the result.
Designed and created these illustrations for the Tilbury Christmas Lights.

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!)

Branding - 'Ceh'

I started this project for a guy that approached me on twitter to have a look at branding himself as 'ceh'.  He was a web developer/designer and coded CSS/HTML. Unfortunately on my part, due to bad timing and work commitments overload this never got finished. Which is a shame, as i enjoyed working on it.

I tried to bring in a little bit of code, design and his personality to the logo. 

Different colour options;

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.
