Weddings & All Things Worth Celebrating

Isn't it just wonderful when you receive an invitation in the mail. Even better when they look 'schmicky-dicky'. You feel all warm & fuzzy inside, knowing that someone wants to spend a special day with you. The store bought ones can be a bit over-used I must say. Especially when you're at that time in your life when all your friends are getting married and your fridge door is piled up with five of the same old invite.

Then there are the online ones where you just type in your name & you get what you're given when it turns up at your door step 5 weeks later (in the wrong colour). Wouldn't you love the freedom of talking to someone about exactly what you want? Or let someone else worry about what font to use and what colour to put where? That's what Designers are for! And I would be more than happy to create your Wedding Invitations, 21st Birthday invites, and excite your friends when they receive a "We're having a Baby" notice.

An Invite for your event designed at a reasonable & competitive price. I can even set them up just how your printer wants them so that you can spend less time worrying.

So how about it? Don't you deserve to be the centre of attention for a little while? Don't your friends deserve to have something a little bit different on their fridge door? Yours might even make it to the top of the pile!

Above is my latest Wedding Invitation Design.

A Whole Year!

Oops. Look at that.

Well I guess you could say time flies when you're having fun!

It's been a whole year since I posted last, and what a year it has been. I moved to Batemans Bay for a job, had a cute little apartment & a great view. But hey, that didn't work out at all. So after 6 months I moved back home! Got a new job, had lots of adventures, started sub-contracting and working from home, Christmas came along, then New Year, reached the one year milestone with some spunk who decided I was worth hanging around for a while (was that embarrassing, Dion?), the end of January, in the process of finding a place to live with the afore-mentioned 'spunk'... And now we're here. (Me) Trying to write a relevant blog post, (You) trying to figure out why you're still reading it...

Here's why.

Because you need design. Just one design, multiple designs, designs you never knew you needed until now, designs you still don't know you need but I'm going to convince you that you do. Designs for your new business, designs for your old stale 'word art created, out of date brochure & logo' business. You need designs that yell "LOOK AT ME!!!" without going to the extent of hiring the guy that used to do the Harvey Norman ads.

Watch this space for more reasons & more fun loving conversations between me & the internet!

In the mean time here are some of my latest creations.

Just a little bit of typography, I can do custom typography for anything you need.

Business Cards I designed for Matilda Lawns, complete with green edges by lovely Dee. 

A design challenge for some fun at work.

Coast Real Estate branding re-design, for UWD.

Stationary & Leave Behind

The stationary set for Grace Simpson Design (business card, with compliments slip and letterhead) & a leave behind piece with samples of my work for job interviews. I'm really happy with how they turned out. It's very much my "style" & a little bit colourful.

Retail Space Vision

In my Advertising & Branded Environment class we were asked to brand a space that would become a store that provides a service & to create everything from the name to the space model. This is the first part of the assessment.
