Samples...

Back To School cards which come in a pair. 

For this card I drew all of the objects and had to knock all the text out of the foil. 

Icon Range. All had Flitter and Holographic Foil and Die Cut on the front page. 

More Samples...

More samples .... From Male Everyday. 

For this card I drew all the letters which meant that I had to set every Caption in position. 

My First Samples....

Today I got back the first few samples of my cards. It is nice to see something that I have designed finished with all the finishes on it. I am finding the job very interesting as you get to do the cards from start to finish. We get to put on all of the finishes as well as all of the cutters. 

These cards are for Mother's Day as well as Female Everyday. 

This 3 fold card had 2 finishes - silver foil and silver glitter. It also had a tip on bear which was cut from the first page. 

These samples are from Easter including a money wallet. I also did several other Easter cards which were used as acetates. 

New job!

Finally it has happened and i have got a new job. Very excited that I will be getting to be doing arty things all day 5 days a week. I shall be starting my career at BGC studios in Manchester......

Typography card..

Some of my friends recently got engaged so in my spare time I wanted to design a little card for them and to play around with typography and layout. I am now waiting for it to get printed and delivered.

Aztec pattern design

I created this pattern on Illustrator using my wacom tablet, giving it the hand drawn look

I then used a variety of colour swatches to fill in my design.
