This was my final design going under the theme of "British" (if you hadn't already guessed!) I wanted to design something which was so typically British but also a bit of fun so that I stood out from the other candidates.

Designing for a job....





I was applying for a job which designed cycle clothing, specialising in custom designed jerseys. Before interviews they set a task of designing cycle jerseys using the theme 'Olympics' or 'British'. I began my task by researching cycle jerseys and how they look. I discovered that they were all quite flat images and generally had a lot of space for sponsorship. After drawing my template of the shirts, I began designing on the theme Olympics. I wanted to use the colours and logos whist leaving some areas blank.

Christmas Surface Pattern - TIgerprint comp













I have entered a current competition on Tigerprint for a christmas surface pattern. I have chosen to use red and white because they will always be on trend for this time of year. I have kept them fairly simple with repeating stripes.

Be Happy








Poster/ card design.
I wanted to do something a bit different from my usual work but still keep the fun/quirkyness of my style. I began with a phrase and then added hand-drawn lines which curved like the writing. The next step is to add colour, I chose to use just a few colours to keep it simple and limited.

Final images




These are the final layouts for the business cards and they were very happy with them. Now that they are printed they look pretty good and are now in circulation, some even went out at the MTV awards!

Its been a while..

Its has been a while since I have been creative so when a friend at work asked my to design his business cards I immediately said yes. He owns his own coffee business which is getting more and more successful. They already had their logo so it was more of a layout task and fitting everything on.

This is a shot of some of my initial ideas, the black side is the back.
