Plumbing & Heating free lance work

One little freelance job I have done was for a heating & plumbing company called 'J Newnham Heating & Plumbing'. I designed a logo, business cards, website, leaflets and ordered fleeces as part of their uniform which had the logo embroidered.

 

Above is the logo I designed to act as the initial 'J' in the company name and also to resemble a water drop for the plumbing side of things and a gas flame for the gas side of the company.

Below shows the digital workings of the business card I designed for the company, with a slick professional no fuss approach, incorporating the logo, necessary details and the important gas safety badge and engineer number. Below is the printed version front and back.

The below images show the logo embroidered on the fleece uniform for the company employees and also a simple leaflet design following the brand guidelines.

This last image shows a bit more of a lighthearted typographic design which I was asked to produce for the company's digital online social media use, which needed to be more eye catching and unique.

Delayed merryGOstyles flyer

SO, it has been a long time hasn't it? Soz about that. So much has happened - mainly being a job working in the promotional gifts industry on the sports side of things, and 6 months of amazing travels across South East Asia, Nepal and India!! Not a bad life. 

Firstly I will update you with a couple of flyers that I created last year for merryGOstyles that didn't make it on here at the time, front and back. These were summer flyers designed to be fun and feminine, focusing on typography and the merryGOstyles logo.

merryGOstyles

Most recently I have been putting all of my energy into a project I created called merryGOstyles. merryGOstyles is an independent fashion label specializing in women's clothing, at the moment T-shirts/vests/crop tops/jumpers. I started out with illustrating the images, then having the tops screen printed. I loved this part of the process, getting all the samples and deciding on the colouring and matching the illustrations to each garment. Below are some of the initial concepts.

The next part of the process shows how everything came together from some of the initial ideas, I think things change so much when you see them more realistically and how they will actually appear.

Other than producing the actual designs I also created the graphic design such as the tags and labels, which I wanted to keep in simple colours to allow for the branding to be flexible and to be able to camouflage itself in other colours according to season/style.

The tag and label follow in style of the 'Merry go' name with a playful fun fair doodle, in reflection of the clothing which is all very fun, bright and aimed at young women.

Above are the online banners I designed for the website, all made from my own photography, with the logo able to camouflage itself in to different summery scenes.

I also have been running the clothing at a market stall in Brick Lane's Backyard market, which I will upload pictures of soon! Also check out www.merrygostyles.com :).

Random Graphics

Sorry I haven't written in such a long time, I have been a very busy bee! I thought I would just upload some work that I've done over the last year that I hadn't already uploaded.

Below are two of the more recent bits I did for Bubbleology, as always the design needed to be fun and engaging within the mad scientist theme.

 

I have also created a few doodles, the first a typographic piece called 'Love is the drug' which I then screen printed in a gradient effect.

The above two pieces are experimental image making, using photography and illustrator, that I did a bit of playing around with.

Finally the three images above explore my weird love of skulls, as well as a bit of random pattern making!

Bubbleology

Hello all,

I thought I would share with you the beginning of a small project I have been working on for Bubbleology recently. The task was to create a cheque style voucher. I wanted to explore how I could use bubble like patterns in the Gillouche style money patterns to tie the money feel in with the brand. The design also had to be fun and colourful to match the Bubbleology bright logo.

Whilst I'm blogging I thought I might as well upload the most recent E-newsletter I designed for By Brilliant, for the lead up to Christmas!

Illustrations

Hello all, 

I think I'm getting quite good at this whole blogging thing, so I thought I'd share a few illustrations I have produced over the last few weeks for By Brilliant London (the jewellery company I have been interning for - www.bybrilliant.com) the illustrations have mainly been for e-newsletter campaigns including Kate Moss, Elizabeth Taylor and a couple of randoms:

I've used pencil, collage, felt tips, water colours and inks over all. I've also been inspired to try my hand at some fashion illustrations through my research so I will update you with that when I get some time to give that a go.

If you are wondering any more about By Brilliant it is a beautiful sparkly jewellery store online and in Sloane Square, London. They specialize in amazing simulated diamonds at a fraction of the price of the real thing, however you can't tell the difference to the naked eye. Since working for them I have been obsessed with jewellery and diamonds, my favorite out of their range is this beautiful cuff!

I have also produced a few e-newsletter concepts for the company.

Other than By Brilliant I have also produced a few small bits for another amazing company called Bubbleology under the same project manager. Bubbleology is a quirky drinks company based in the heart of Soho, London and can also be found in Harvey Nichols stores. They specialize in Taiwanese drinks with gummy sweet tapioca balls at the bottom of the tea or milk based drink that you suck up through a large straw available in various flavours, I tried a coconut milk based drink which was very yummy, I had never had any thing like it before, it was like drinking and eating sweets at the same time. The brand has a very fun identity of a mad scientist type so it was very fun for me to get involved. They have also just won a Marketing Design Award!

 

 

Above are two concepts I have developed for an e-newsletter. The first showing the method of how bubble tea is made through illustration, with the second a quiz type mailer taking you to three different flavours and elements of bubble tea at the end.
