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.

It's been a busy few weeks!

I STILL need to get round to photographing Sisters Avenue Brochure for not only blogging about but my new digital portfolio and website that i've spent the last few months working on, inbetween my day job, exercising and living! But its coming together slowly but surely. I'm aiming to get it up and running by the end of November/the end of the year.

But until then, here's a little re-brand i've been working on. ProLift.

Here's what they were using before, a hideous clipart shape teamed with a weird marble effect. yucky.



Heres what i'm thinking; a simple, versatile logo.

 

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!

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.
