Leaflets - 4 types using different portraits
Banners
Bus Advertising
Posters
Well, I have to admit, I was very fortunate with this project.
I was able to provide the concept, which came quickly.
Take the photography on site, obtaining about 20 portraits.
Then design it all together to match the concept.
The client wanted a design that was eye-catching, [...]
Burning Cockpit
On the back burner (no pun intended) for a VERY long time. Months. In the end, I’m quite happy with the image, and I’ve stayed pretty true to the visual I had in my mind, and that’s a plus. Sometimes adding more can destroy the image, this one has had a long enough gestation to [...]
Self Exposure
« previous | next »
The nice thing about this kind of thing, is that you never really run out of source material…. Just as long as there’s a half decent design at the end of the process… At the very least it gives material for practice, and that is no bad thing.
It’s been a long while….
It’s pretty amazing how fast time passes…. Here we are now with Wordpress version 2.5, and a good couple of months since my last posting.
Well the good news is that haven’t been idle, I’ve been working. I won’t bore anyone with the details (this time) but I’ll post a picture instead… I’m really enjoying photography, and [...]
Cropping is good for design.
I’m starting to enjoy photography quite a lot.
I like how even mundane things are interesting when you really look at them. And good cropping helps focus the eye… It’s a bit like designing, but before the shutter button is pressed….

The Cloud of Conclusion
Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is to write, sometimes the hardest. One thing I have noticed about myself over the last few years, is my predisposition to write when I want to design. I think either it helps me get into the groove or it kickstarts my creative side.
It seems that the process is [...]
How to be a better designer in 5 steps…
There are all sorts of blogs and tutorials out there to help designers with certain techniques or to achieve a particular effect in Photoshop etc, but there aren’t too many on the practicalities of being a designer. I have decided to list a few that have either come to me naturally as demanded or were [...]
One Fast Mousetrap!
I’m sitting in my kitchen thinking about the year that has gone by… I try to count up the goals I had set for myself last year and how many I actually completed. Fortunately, this blog was one that I did manage to complete - even though it was in the latter part of the [...]
Productive design day & Image Update!
I have been wanting to write a meaty blog post only to have the dreaded blank screen in my head, let alone having one on my computer. Actually I have had only one phrase buzzing through my mind today: “Sleep is the enemy.”
I like the succinctness of it… Of course the phrase itself is ridiculous. [...]
Promote your Church!
For a limited time (more open-ended than not) I’ll be offering special prices for leaflets and other promotional materials to churches and religious organisations.
If you are interested in the offers currently available, please contact me for further details.
Image update!
It’s really very nice when an image runs as smoothly as this. A very stark contrast to when the day is hectic, the image can run smoothly. Obviously - days don’t always run that way, but when they do, work actually becomes therapeutic. :) Part of a collection I’m working on.
The set as a whole? Most definitely Work in Progress. :)
Pencils help design
To my mind, the pencil is still the best connection from the brain to the real world. Pens are good and all, but the pencil is where it’s really at. I’ve always been a fan, and now, unless the situation absolutely demands the use of a pen, the trusty .5 HB is the weapon of [...]
Image update!
25 images to go!
Project: Produce 25 images on the subject of direction. Very interesting work so far.
In other news, very much on the go here, work for WVFC, work for Panther, work for a new client (which I’ll post when it’s complete), personal projects, busy busy busy…. Busy is good.
Should have a “proper” post with some [...]
