Today, I designed this flyer to promote my painting work. Perhaps it is because of AI, or maybe reduced client marketing budgets, but my graphic design work has declined in the past two years, so last year, I thought it's time to diversify my income. I don't like the expression "side hustle" but I guess that is what my design work has become. I am now spending more time doing painting work than graphic design work.

Lighthouse at Port Charlotte, Islay
I recently designed another wee postcard, as a souvenir from my trip to Islay. We enjoyed a good walk at Port Charlotte that day, although there was no footpath on the hillside behind the village and it was very boggy in some places. I took this photo with my iPhone and added the text in Freeform.

Standing Stones of Islay
I created this wee postcard of some of the standing stones I visited on my recent trip to Islay. I made it using Photoshop on my iPhone and added the text with Freeform. It is just a simple design, but quite effective.

Poster for Duns Secret Cabaret
Last week I designed a poster for Duns Secret Cabaret, which took place on Sat 6th of September. The image shown is a scaled down version of the image I did for social media.

Postcard from Islay
Just back from a trip to Islay. I created this postcard using the Freeform app on my iPhone. It is pretty basic, but it was good that I was able to make something while on the move.
