With a background in design for print, there is nothing I love more than when a branding client asks me to create some printed marketing collateral for them. What can I say, I’m just an old-fashioned kind of girl! 😊 I love anything printed - the feeling that different paper stocks can evoke, and also the scent of opening a package of freshly printed materials gets me . . . every . . . single . . . time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am a huge advocate of a high quality business card, and these did not disappoint. Printed full colour both sides on a 300gsm, 100% recycled paper, with an uncoated finish, these cards have the look and feel of a sheet of watercolour paper - just the most perfect paper stock for an artist!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I wanted to create a brand identity for Chris John

My client, the lovely Chris Johnson, produces just

My client, the lovely Chris Johnson, produces just the most beautiful paintings and drawings from his idyllic Mallorcan country studio. Influenced by his love of sailing, the colour palettes of his artworks are awash with the soft, muted colours of the sea, rugged coastlines and the surrounding countryside.

I created this gorgeous painterly palette especially for Chris - taking inspiration from the works of the artist himself! I do hope you like it as much as I do? 🥰

How does my brand identity design process begin?

How can it possibly be Friday again already? Does anyone else feel like time is just slipping through their fingers at an alarming rate?

This has been a pretty strange week - being the first full week without my husband. And last weekend I received the sad news that two of my uncles had passed away within 24 hours of each other. So, I’ve tried to be a little kinder to myself this week, trying my best to process the feelings that this sad news has brought to the surface . . .
My uncle Gibby was always a joker, wherever he was, there was laughter to be had. Summers spent on the farm with my cousins staying in a caravan in the farm close (or courtyard), barbecues in the garden, pony rides playing rounders, badminton and hide and seek till late at night. Then during my teenage years, my dad and Gibby towing caravans in tandem, during one of the hottest of summers, all the way down through the UK to Devon. Listening to the Radio One Summer Roadshows and tasting scrumpy for the first time! More recently, I remember him sitting, with a beer in hand, here on my terrace in Mallorca - totally chilled and enjoying life!

As a child, I always thought of my uncle Ian as a bit of an enigma - probably because I didn’t get to spend quite so much time with him. What I do remember though, was that he was a very quiet, deep thinking man, with a wicked sense of humour - as I type this I can still see that sparkle in his eyes as a thought passed through his mind, and then his face slowly breaking into a wide, cheeky grin. As I got older though, I did feel that I got to know Ian a little better, and discovered what a one-of-a-kind person he really was.

I truly feel the pain that my aunts, cousins and all of their families are going through. We may be separated by miles, but there is still a bond that spans the distance and brings families together in times of sadness - in mind, if not in body. 💔 😭
So, I raise a glass to you both, may you rest in peace Gilbert Reid and Ian Alexander Adams - there may be two huge gaping holes where you both once stood, but your memories will live on with us all . . .
