Fishing Pass

I loved this cute idea from a client, to give her partner 15 fishing vouchers which he may redeem when he would like to go fishing. The outline of the brief was that the colours should be yellow and blue and the information to be included on the A7 cards was provided. I found the terms of use quite comical, not to mention wise and necessary. This is what I designed, I hope her partner enjoys his present and has lots of successful fishing trips from it.

Love Chocolate, Love Thorntons!

I am over the moon with my purchases from Thorntons! Not only am I chuffed to bits that I bought around £50 worth of chocolate for £16 (£20 including delivery), but I also impressed at the awesome presentation of my purchases. I'm loving the graphics displayed on the shipping box and am loving even more the graphics displayed on the chocolate boxes and the menu cards; especially the continental boxes. It's clear that great attention has been paid to every aspect of the presentation. Great job from the designers at this company. Not to mention that the chocolates are delicious! I would love to say that I plan on sharing them, but they taste so good I'm not sure I can make any promises.

My Very Own Birdseye Polar Bear

I really am starting to worry that I'm an advertisers dream... but for now who cares because I'm the proud owner of a Birdseye Bear. He's called Patrick and he's adorable!

Very clever advertising from Birdseye, loving their promotion advert and I'm surprised I've only seen it on the television once. So incase you haven't seen it yet, please enjoy this link.

Frame Wall

The center piece for the frame wall at work is all finished, printed and framed. I am very excited to finally see my design printed and framed, can't wait until the rest of the frames are up on the wall. The numbers on this designs correspond to all seven frames which will surround this centre piece. They are examples of the different design works carried out by Picture This.

Motorhead Gate-Crashes Frame Wall

At work we are in the process of designing an inspirational frame wall. We're about half way through and I have been allocated both the main central frame and one other, fairly large frame. For the fairly large frame the design is finally complete. The theme is 'typographical image' and as I had this song in my head all day I decided to design some 'eye candy' for it. The central frame is almost complete but still has a bit more work before it goes live. I can share the non-central piece now. Once the central piece and the frame wall is done I will post photos.

Steve Jobs Tribute

It is very sad to wake up this morning to the news that Steve Jobs has passed away after losing his battle with cancer. It's at times like these when we can see that life is truly precious and we should value every moment of it. Thoughts go out to the families of everyone who have lost loved ones to cancer and to those who are still fighting the battle.

Poor Neglected Blog

Time has been running away recently so a schedule has been drawn up to allow enough time for some personal design time outside of work design time. Some posts should be arriving shortly of some new designs, plus some post of designs I've been observing and collecting over the past few months. Finally got around to signing onto Google+ this evening. So far it seems very good. Easy to navigate and very user friendly in communicating the site functions etc. Very pleased.
