Espoke LTD

Another free lance job. Just a flyer for an IT compay in Harrogate. Simple aesthetics but a fair amount of body copy and a map make the back a little busy. Customer was happy though, so so am I.

Barber & Mack

I have recently branded a new up-market gentleman's barber shop in Harrogate. This included signage, identity, flyers and appointment cards as well as small runs of poster prints for the opening. I kept it simple but classy as the aesthetics of the shop

This is a client I would love to keep and continue doing work for as I am doing.

Website

The website is finally up. I am very pleased with it and have had a lot of good feedback from it. I dont have much work on it at the moment but that is soon to change. I have kept it really simple, like my initial ideas, but this has paid off as it is easy to navigate and work.

Pressision Visit

Me and Anand went to Pressision Print Lab A couple of weeks ago. The whole place was really cool, very small but a nice tight organization. The guy who runs the print jobs (studio manager) Jonathan showed us around. The place was really impressive. He showed us where they makes plates, the Hp Indigo Digital Printer, the Litho Press, Foiler (which was ancient, but this made it cooler) and all the finishing stuff.

This is just a little booklet he gave us to show off the company. It is really nice, the colours of the photos look mad because in the Magenta part of the Litho, they poured in the bright pink spot colour from the front, this is what gave it a mad tint. Very nice and clean design work as well. 

My Business Cards

 

These are printed on grey board that was scrap in the print room. I printed a full colour black on the back aswell. This was just to make them a little more unique and a little nicer. It gives them a more precious feel that I am going for. I went with Oliver Shaw in the end. I think just coming out of college it is a better option because it obviously gets your name out there and all of that.I also did less of this colour because I would give these out to people that are more important than other, these are to give out to people I would like to try and impress.

 

These are ones that I printed a whole load more of, they are just on thin white card. I still really like these ones but there are a lot so that I can give them to whoever whenever. Once again I printed a block colour on the back, just because it makes them more interesting and makes them feel double sided even when they're not really.

Tom's Cards

 

These are some really quick business cards for some social networking event my friend was going to. I wanted to keep them clean and simple as I didnt have a lot of time to do them in. I printed about 100 of them and they turned out pretty nice. 

Its really good to do quick and simple things like this because they will be handed out to all sorts of creative professionals, some maybe wanting to hire graphic designers etc.

Promo

I have got to the point now where I need to get a name and a website. Keeping the 'cut' in it, it is relevant to graphic design and my practice. I have lost the lightening bolt to, it was seen to much and looks a bit childish. 

I dont want to put just my name as I think it is boring and there will be a lot of people who have just put their name and 'design' after it.
