Baa Baa Australia; A Design Story

Baa Baa Australia front end web design project

We talked, we laughed, we cried, oh how we cried. Ok, this story isn’t QUITE that exciting, but I’ve found it rather a nice ride that’s for sure :D

I want to tell you (and show you) all about Baa Baa Australia who approached me in May about offering them a front end web design service for their new business selling their own brand of Ugg boots for children.

They advised me that they already had a logo design created to be used within the design and immediately I cringed in fear. That’s the crying bit. Read the rest of this entry »

Logo Design Roundup 2011

Here is a round up of my favourite logo design projects over approximately the last year. I’ve shown them in charcoal so that their colours don’t clash against each other … and after, a ‘good’ logo design should look as good in black and white as it does in colour. Read the rest of this entry »

This is hand drawn, scanned, and then coloured in Adobe Illustrator. Read the rest of this entry »

Brand Identity For Charity

Charity Logo Design

I was recently contacted by a client that had remembered our services from as far back as their original project with us in 2003. I was really pleased about this, as it indicates a lasting impression of ‘good service’, which of course I aim to repeat!

8 years is a long time and therefore having moved on from their previous business, the requirement is now to design for a new national charity called Infertility UK. Read the rest of this entry »

Corporate Design Work

Corporate Graphic Design

It occurs to me that anyone reading this blog could be forgiven for thinking that my life as a designer is one big stream of cute illustrative work. It’s not :)

Just to balance things up a bit I should show you some of the more ‘corporate style’ designs I’ve been working on over the last few weeks. They are just as nice, but I can’t help have a leaning towards loving illustration above everything else and so I am in the habit of showing illustrative led projects above the others.

Sympathetic Website Rebrand

Cupid Re-Brand

www.Cupid.co.uk, a highly experienced player in the dating industry with more than a decade of experience, recognised that they needed a new fresh image to continue to thrive in the ever competitive marketplace of online dating.

We assessed that this was going to require not only an overhaul of the website, but of their existing logo design also. Read the rest of this entry »

Deskpad Design

Cariad Hypnotherapy

I’ve just completed this desk pad design for Cariad Hypnotherapy. They suggested they’d like to create one as a handout for their clients/potential clients and I agreed that it was likely to prove to be a successful way of marketing Cariad. Read the rest of this entry »
