Medical Image

 This week, I also designed an image for a medical company based in London.

Illustration

 Following on from the logo that I did last week for The Computer Person, this week I designed an illustration for the same client. It was quite easy to do and the client liked it straight away.

Recent Work

 This week I have designed a fitness diary for a client in Liverpool and I also designed a logo for an IT company based in London. The Computer Person is a new startup company offering IT support online and in person and they also offer IT infrastructure and education all over the World. My design brief was quite straightforward and I was able to take on board the clients feedback after my first drafts were submitted. I then make a few amendments until a final design was agreed. It was a good project to work on.

Annual Report Cover design for AHFD

 Last week I finalised the design for the annual report for 2019/20 for A Heart For Duns. It was quite a long drawn out process, but there were very few amendments to the design, which was good.

Flyer Design for a Car Valeting Firm

 This week I designed a flyer for a car valeting firm. Apollo detailing and Valeting are based in Manchester. The client was very clear about what info he wanted on the design and a concept was quickly agreed. Client was very happy with end result.

Burger Van Flyer Design

 Last week I designed a flyer for a burger van in Cornwall that is also doing deliveries. There were a few amends to the design, but the client was easy to work with. The client also ordered vinyl stickers. In all it was a quick and straightforward job to work on.

Flyer Design

 This week I designed a flyer for a gardening company in Rochdale. They also asked me to do posters and business cards. 

Business Stationery Design

 This week I designed and printed some business stationery for a client in Hampshire. He agreed the design with no revisions and the job went to print. Everything was printed and delivered on time. The client was happy.

Office Front Design - Update

 Here is the office front that I designed a few weeks ago. It looks great!

New Logo Design

This week I designed a quick logo for a marketing guy called Stephen Kenaghan. He is based in Hampshire. He wanted something straightforward and simple, so I went for the hand shake design. I also did business cards, compliment slips and note pads. 

Vape Store Posters

 This week I designed some posters for a Vape store in Bridlington. It was a good project to work on and it all went smoothly. 

Office Front Design

 I recently designed an office front signage project for an IT company based in Farnborough. Greenpoint focus mainly on IT support and Web design. They wanted something simple, so I chose to do this design. The client was easy to deal with and the design was quickly finalised.

House Sign

 This week, I did a small project for a friend of mine. It was some vinyl lettering stuck onto the inside of some glass panels. I did a quick layout, then had the vinyl letters cut out by a local signage company, then I fitted the vinyl myself. It only took 10 minutes to fit the vinyl. I worked for 1 year in the sign department of a print shop a few years ago.

Recent Design work from Watson Consultancy

This week I designed a logo for Condor Recycling Ltd based in Grantham. It was quite an interesting project to work on and the client didn't make too many revisions to my design. I did 5 logo options and then created one design taking elements from a couple of them. Overall I am quite happy with the way it has turned out and they were a good company to work with.

Instagram Highlight Icons

This week I designed some Instagram Highlight Icons for a Doctor near Huddersfield. It was quite a tricky project to do because they appear so small, but I think I did a good job of them. My client was happy. If you need any icons designed, don't hesitate to contact me. You can leave me a comment, or click through to my profile page where you can get my contact info.

Brand You

I am currently reading a book called 'Brand You' by John Purkiss and David Royston-Lee. I have found it fairly helpful in breaking down the areas you can build on to improve your brand image. One part that I found particularly helpful was the bit that goes: "The stronger your brand, the more people will value you. They will be pleased that you are working on their project and may pay extra for that feeling of reassurance." As I have been working on branding for other companies, I sometimes forget that I need to develop my own brand. When designing a logo, for example, I have found that I can do a better job if I takes just a few days longer designing. This creates a better design and I can then charge more for that design.

Ecoglow Heating & Plumbing

Another client who are a delight to do work for, are Ecoglow Heating & Plumbing based in East Horsley, but they cover a very large area. I have been doing work for them for almost a year now and they are good client to work for.

Absolute Delight

I recently did some design work for a company and they were an absolute delight to do work for. They were fairly specific in their brief, outlining what they wanted, but they were very patient and understood the difficulties involved in arriving at a solution to their problem. I did a few amendments and revisions until a final design was achieved. They promptly paid and thanked me for my work. This client was a good fit with my own values of integrity and doing an all round good job.

Recent Design Work

I recently designed this logo for a local company. They install industrial insulation. I wanted to create something that focused on heat retention and that was bold.

Seize the opportunity

I recently had half an hour to come up with a magazine advert for a customer. I already had the photos and copy to use in the ad, so I just had to put a layout together. This is normal in my working week so I did not turn down the chance to make some money. If they need it in a hurry, be sure to charge the client appropriately.

Need a logo designed?

I have many years experience in designing company logos. If you are just starting a company or looking to refresh your corporate identity, you might need to ask yourself a few questions. Who do I want to communicate with? Who are my core customers? What things do my customers like? Your logo will need to appeal to a market audience. It is not just about if you like the design, but will need to be attractive to your customers. If you need a new company logo, I can find a solution that will help you stand out among your peers.

Flyerzone Templates

A few years ago I did a lot of work for flyerzone.co.uk . I did many flyer templates for use as pre-designed templates for the user to edit/add their own details and print. At the time, I had just turned self-employed and the income from it filled a gap. I still sell these flyer templates, but I have stopped creating new designs. When you are creating pre-designed templates, it is a numbers game and the more templates you have for sale, the higher chance you have of making more money. I now make more money from doing individually custom made designs for my clients.

Flyer Design

One of the projects I did this week was a flyer design for a tutor. I created a simple design using a shutterstock image, plus a few other details. I did 2 design options. My client liked both of them, but decided to go with this one. Doing online tuition could be big business during the lock down.

Recent Design Work

I recently created this design. It is done entirely in Photoshop. It is a bit of an abstract concept, but it works nevertheless. More high resolution images like this can be bought at Adobe Stock.
