Another project I’m currently working on some type based cards. I’m trying out hand drawn type as I have been doing a lot of computer based stuff and been neglecting the pencil for a bit! Here’s a little peek at one of the designs I’m doing. I’ll have to sort some colour soon, enjoy!

One of the current #design projects I have got on at the minute. Branding for a new scheme to bring new opportunities to young people. I had to create a appropriate brand and logo to be used on stationery and products. Main ideas behind the logo is that the scheme will change their perspectives on life. The mark suggests growth and showing the layers of the course.

As well as answering the points in the brief I wanted to expand it abit and plan a brand strategy. This includes various forms of advertising for web and print. Hopefully when I present it on Thursday it’ll go down well!
Enjoy :)

Why didn’t I know about this place when I went to Vegas?!

The Importance of Self-Initiated Work There’s no client, no brief and no payment. So why bother? Because the stuff you don’t get paid for, leads to the stuff you do. Johanna Basford shows her self initiated works and how they have lead onto work for large clients HERE.I’m also a big believer in self initiated work as it is a good way to show more skills as well as developing a diverse and interesting portfolio.
