A Sad and Cautionary Tale of the Fabulous Logo that Never Was
I’ve held back posting this story in the dim hope that the matter would be resolved. I’m one of those bouncy eternal-optimist types who believes that every story has a happy ending, etc etc. But it looks like I’m never going to get paid for this job, and as the client is apparently broke, I [...]
Moon Diary
Just a quick note to mention this, what I should have mentioned before Christmas. I designed this brilliant diary full of fascinating lunar info. It’s just perfect for the moon goddesses (and gods) in your life. Get ‘em here, while they’re hot.
CIO Connect Magazine winter 2010 issue design
I never get bored with designing CIO Connect magazine. I’ve been doing it since 2003, the year I went freelance, and every time I start a new one I try to improve on the issue before. There’s a real knack to magazine design, I find, and once you’ve got the hang of it it’s one [...]
CIO Connect Conference things
Hello, this one’s a bit late too. I’m catching up, see. Being organised and that. CIO Connect asked me to create a brand for their annual conference, held in October. The title was “Business as Unusual”. I was to create a logo-illustration for the event, and supply designs for tickets, a microsite, brochures, newsletters, an [...]
Latest CIO Connect magazine
Well, yes, it’s a tad late. I need some blogging discipline. Anyhow, here’s the latest copy of CIO Connect. This one was a bit more complex that usual in that the client wanted to include an eight-page report of their conference, and then get the magazine out as quickly as possible. Print consultant David Richards [...]
Sexy business cards. Oh yes.
A while back, Richard Tierney of creative talks got in touch about a concept for a TV show he was planning on promoting. The show is about glamorous globe-trotting women, so naturally he came to me (ahem). I originally created a logo featuring a pair of bright red lips. This time Richard wanted business cards. [...]
I done made a book
Peter Taylor, a scientific analyst from ethos UK, was commissioned by the Lifeworks Foundation to write a report about international aid. He found, among other things, that only 5% of world development aid addresses the grass-roots need for a healthy and ecologically-sound environment. Most of the money is directed at economic problems – moving people [...]
School Newsletters for National Museums Wales
Now this was a lovely job. I was asked by the Head of Learning at the National Museum of Wales if I’d be interested in quoting for a series of leaflets for schools. There’s one ten-page bilingual concertina publication for every museum in the group (The National Museum in Cardiff’s city centre, Big Pit coal-mining [...]
be amazing today business cards
I have basically been really rather rubbish at keeping my blog updated. If that makes me a bad person, then stick me in a bunker with the missus and a couple of cyanide pills and call me Adolf (please don’t). I went on holiday for two weeks, and before that I was hella busy doing [...]
Photography exhibition posters for Ealing Council
Sara (cf. previous tree work for Ealing Council) asked me to come up with A1 posters for an exhibition of photography by a young persons’ group in Ealing, London. She wanted lots of white space, black text, but most of all they had to look cool. “Cool” is a terrifying word to a graphic designer, [...]
