Update 23.02.09

I was really busy last week as I was contacted by the editor of Computer Arts Projects to take part in the 'Designer Challenge' for March's edition. I put in a fair amount of time completing this work as it is a great opportunity to boost my profile and wanted to come up with a strong concept. I think I might also have a page in the 'Showcase' pages as I wrote a bit about self-promotion the theme of the magazine for that month and they asked for some images that can accompany the article. I am trying not to get excited as I know these things can get dropped at the last moment so I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed!

I had to do this while continuing with all the work I had booked in so my desk got quite messy. I am currently working on a brochure for Tyrrell Design, I designed their logo (below) and brand guidelines so this is a great opportunity to continue to build a strong brand narrative.

Update - 11.2.9

The microsite mixm8 i designed is now live. The aim of this site is to build the community before the 2.5D social networking and music site is launched. I designed all the pages including banners and the mixm8 logo. The backgrounds have been designed by graphic artist Jon Burgerman.

Freelance Design Blog - 9.2.9

After three and a half years of designing I finally have my worked featured in a book. I submitted work for 'Symbols, Pictogram's and Symbols' by Marta Americh and published by Index Books (see below) over half a year ago so it has been a long wait to see my work in a book.

The unfortunate thing is they have spelt my name slightly wrong even though the proof was correct. When I began freelancing I would have been really annoyed and frustrated but these days I just laugh it off and focus on the next publication.



I also got confirmation that my work on 'Hotcan' will also feature in the book 'Packaging Identity' scheduled for release this winter.



I have submitted work for two other books including the popular 'Logo Lounge' series. I see publications as an important factor in promoting my work within the design industry and spend at least a couple of hours each week looking for publications to feature in.

I will aim to post shorter but more frequently so check back soon. Thanks for reading.
