Update - 20.05.09

It's been over a month since my last post, this is down to quite a hectic schedule of new design work from new and existing clients. Below I have put together a brief run down of some of these projects.

A new client asked me to brand a new South African Boutique Hotel. It had to include a strong nature theme and express a refined atmosphere.



This is my personal favourite, I have built a horizon and ridge into an overall leaf shape reflecting the beauty of the environment the hotel is situated.



This is the design the client finally settled on.



Tyrrell Design asked me to develop a brochure for specific areas within the building industry and create a family of icons to extend the brand. I really didn't want to alter the icon but the client insisted on this route. The first is the original identity, the second is 'Fire Risk Assessment' and the third is 'Energy Performance Certificates'. In each case the logo has had elements added to reflect these areas, I really wasn't happy with burning the logo but the client liked it.



Mixm8 wanted to re brand as they felt the previous logo looked too dance music orientated and wanted a more editorial look. The concept is based around Polaroids and can be used to mask related images, the chunky text also facilitates this. I built a family of logos which adds a flexibility to the brand in a number of applications.



I am a keen DJ and my friend is launching an Internet radio station that we will playing out on. The station will deal mainly with Drum and Bass, I really wanted to avoid the 'Detonate' style associated with this genre.



I got my business cards photographed for the book 'My Own Business Cards'



Bakerino is a new bakery/coffee place in the centre of Nottingham, I was commissioned to develop the brand, work on the shop front and flyer. It is opening in June so I'm really looking forward to seeing my brand in a prominent place in the city centre.

Hope you enjoyed viewing my latest work.
