recent work | sadie & andy's order of service

I designed a bespoke order of service towards the end of last year for a lovely couple that I wanted to share with you. Sadie and Andy had a really clear idea of what they wanted; something very delicate, soft and a little vintage to compliment all the gorgeous details of their wedding. They'd already chosen the font American Typewriter which they'd used throughout their wedding stationery, so I stuck with this and I chose a colour palette which worked well with the flowers and dresses on the day. I hand drew some roses and lovebirds which I converted to vector in illustrator to add all the pretty delicate details. 

Photographing some of my recent design work, and updating my portfolio is high up on the to-do list for 2015, so hopefully I'll be sharing more new work soon!

designer | katt frank

If you've been on pinterest lately you've probably come across Katt Frank already! Her work has been filling my pinterest feed lately, but I couldn't resist sharing as it's all completely dreamy gorgeousness. I love her delicate illustration and typography, and the way she marries it with bright and natural photography. Perfect and pretty inspiration for a grey Sunday... 

Katt Frank is a designer and illustrator based in Cornwall, UK. You can see more her work on her tumblr and pinterest. 

recent work | el & roger's order of service

I wanted to share with you a wedding order of service which I was recently asked to design. El & Roger wanted something modern, minimalist and perfect for Spring! I combined hand drawn typography with a clean and modern font, and added leafy illustrations to give it a bit of personality and ensure it was in-keeping for their beautiful May wedding!   

I'm trying to take on more and more freelance design work now, as I just really love doing it. I feel like I could paint, scribble, draw away and play around on illustrator for hours without getting bored! I've set up a facebook page too (eek!), so if you're on there feel free to follow along where I'll be sharing more of my work. And please get in touch if you're looking for a freelance designer!

designer | alyson fox

i recently discovered alyson fox, through the gorgeous collaboration she did with & other stories, which i LOVE. and i want to buy it all. it's mostly all gone online now, but trust me, it's all beautiful. as is all of her work - drawings, patterns, designs, jewellery and other collaborations... i feel like a bit of a wally because my big sister has had that print hanging in her flat for ages and i never bothered to find out who it was by! anyway, just a little bit of inspiration for your wednesday!

thanks all for your comments on my identity design! i'm giving myself the night off design work tonight, partly because i can barely keep my eyes open, partly because i want to catch up on wimbledon with a glass of wine. yes.

designer | erin ellis

recently discovered the gorgeous work of erin ellis, a designer and illustrator who specialises in hand lettering. i love love love hand lettering, and have used it myself for a few of my design pieces on my course. erin's style of hand lettering is super gorgeous and fun, i love the way she uses it with delicate illustration and rich photography. it works so so well! i'm currently working on my personal identity branding for my portfolio, hand lettering is a route i'm definitely thinking of going down... but we'll see!

designer | herb lester maps

not a designer really, but lots of designers... herb lester 'look for the usual and the unusual in london and beyond' and then work with amazing illustrators and designers to create super awesome maps. yes. nick got one of them for christmas, which lists quiet and unknown places to meet in london. i totally love it and may have sort of claimed it as my own. hee. the designs are gorgeous, lovely enough to stick straight up on your wall. i really love maps loads. and these maps are so beautifully designed, it's ridiculous. i want them all. especially love the design of the copenhagen map by matt chase. it's making me want to visit even more!

p.s i've updated my tumblr a bit more with some of my earlier work, and will try and keep it updated from now on!

designer | the weaver house

So i only recently discovered the weaver house. I know. Where have i beeeeeeen?! I don't know. Twin sisters with the most incredible portfolio of photography and design. There is SO MUCH inspiration to be found in their gorgeous website. Seriously beautiful stuff... if i can ever create anything nearly as beautiful as these I will be a pretty happy girl!

artist | ben goss
