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 | i like it, what is it?

Well I haven't shared one of these in a while! If you haven't already noticed through all my instagramming, I recently moved to Sydney, yay! (more on that to come soon, promise!) It's all great so far, summer in January is wonderful, and I'm feeling ridiculously inspired. I've got some mega 2016 goals, one of which is to blog more often, but more importantly to design and be creative more often! I'm loving calm colours and clean lines at the moment, and you can see way more of that over on my Pinterest! I put this little moodboard together for something I'm about to start working on, which hopefully I'll be able to share with you very soon!

My pinterest feed is looking very festive at the moment, which is totally fine by me! Today I watched Frozen, drank mulled wine, went to the theatre, ate mince pies aaaand sang some carols. So I'm finally feeling pretty Christmassy. Bring on the snow. Nah, just joking.

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!

I studied art history at uni, I adore exhibitions and recently I've been super inspired by all things art. I just finished reading Seven Days in the Art World by Sarah Thornton. It's a brilliant book and an amazing insight into the art world, and it made me want to go to art school immediately! That probably won't happen any time soon, so in the meantime pinterest is a fantastic way of discovering new and inspiring artists...

1 | Satsuki shibuya's photo-synthesis series is seriously beautiful - I love following her work on her instagram feed. 
2 | I've been a huge fan of Katy Smail's paintings for a while now, and her entire portfolio is so super gorgeous and fun. 
3 | Wonderful, bright and fun paintings, (and an incredibly inspiring interview) by Ken Done. My Mum has a gorgeous painting by him at home and it is happiness. 
4 | I saw the Matisse exhibition at the Tate Modern at the start of September - it was mesmerising and so super inspiring, it made me want to get my papers and paint out straight away! I adored the colours and composition in this piece especially. 
5 | I completely adore Jenny Prinn's paintings. Her colour palettes are the best. 
6 | Britt Bass is an artist I discovered through pinterest. The colours and compositions in her paintings are swoon perfection and I bloody love them. Also, her iPhone cases are ace.

Things have been a bit hectic crazy lately, hence the radio silence over here! Sometimes managing a day job with freelance design work is really flippin' difficult and I'm trying to find a bit of a better way to balance everything out at the moment, and to stop my head from exploding. That being said, I've been working on some really exciting projects lately, which I've really been enjoying, and thought I'd share a few sneak peeks with you...

+ Some hand drawn typography that I did for a save the date design recently.
+ A mood board for a branding project I'm working on - can't wait to share this with you!
+ A fun floral pattern I put together, just for fun - i'm starting to realise patterns are my fave. 
+ And a small detail of an order of service, which I'm just wrapping up at the moment.

So I'm trying to remember this. It helps.

wishlist | autumn

Oh, hi Autumn! Erm, wasn't it 30 degrees in London last week?! Yes, yes it was. Boots and coats have come around a bit too soon for my liking. But there is a small part of me that's looking forward to cosying up at home with tea and candles and blankets! I definitely need a few new autumn wardrobe staples though. These things, yes please...
