Moodboard | peachy & typographic

Well hey this blog post has been a long time coming. And by this blog post I mean, any blog post. Ah well! Just stopping by to share a recent mood board I created for a small business branding project I'm working on at the moment. I'm pretty excited about this, particularly the peachy colour palette! There's so much of that going on over on my pinterest at the moment!

I've also recently started up a new instagram account - mostly because I'm just monumentally crap at keeping up with blog posts at the moment! And it's a nice way to share snippets of design work - follow along here!

moodboard | a playful brand

Well it's been aaaaaaages since I've shared a mood board on here with you guys. But wanted to share this one with you, as I'm pretty damn excited about this project! This is for a branding project I'm working on at the moment, and I'm hoping the final result will be modern, bright and playful. I'll be back to share more of this when I can!

graduation

well i graduated from design school last night, this has honestly been the fastest year of all time! i'm mostly exhausted but it's so nice to be at home with no homework and deadlines looming over me. and it's such a huge relief to finally have gotten to this stage. my online portfolio is live, my business cards were handed out at the show last night, and i can finally relax a bit. i've already caught up on a lot of sleep today! and now i'm looking forward to blogging, reading, seeing all my friends and family and hopefully getting out of london a bit! but i'm also excited about working on some non-student briefs, and developing my portfolio more. i hope you like it! (the business cards were printed by moo - i used their printfinity service so i could have six different designs with my contact details on the back. they're really nice quality, and were printed super fast, so i definitely recommend them.)

currently designing | my brand

it's the end of a very long day of designing for me. but just the first of four this long 'weekend'! i'm trying to get all my work up to a good standard for my portfolio, before i graduate in july. it still feels like i've got such a long way to go though! and i'm a bit terrified. a lot. one of the things i've been working on recently is my personal brand identity, which I've really enjoyed. so i thought i'd share some of my options with you. please let me know what you think! they're all much of a muchness, and i think i have a favourite. but there is a bit of tweaking to do, and i'd love to know your opinions before i finalise things. i've really loved using hand done typography throughout my course, so i imagine that's the route i'll take for this too.

i'm also starting to work on my online portfolio, i'm thinking of using squarespace, or maybe behance prosite. let me know if you have any recommendations? and i'll try to pop back here again soon :)

moodboard | nice type

the snow is falling thick and fast outside but i mostly have to stay home and get on with my homework. there's nothing like a bit of a pinning sesh to get a bit of inspiration before i crack on with it all. hopefully i'll get to pop out at some point and build a snowman / take several hundred photos of the snow. anyway, i'm obviously feeling a bit monochromatic and typographic this morning...

totally love that marmalade toast branding.
