NO AI - I never use generative Ai for any of my work.
It may be the fast and easy way to do things now, but your customers will know when you’ve used it and there is no sense of personality in generated imagery. It is frowned upon in many ways, so I stand against it.I will guide you through the steps, keeping things clear from start to finish.
We will aim for design that’s memorable and honest.
ALL BRANDS NEED A STYLE GUIDE. LIKE A BIBLE FOR A BUSINESS.
If you want your business to make sense, to have direction and for everyone to be on the same page, you’ll need a business style guide.
These are a set of instructions and rules for many aspects of what makes your business have a personality and control.The style guide will include many things to abide by, such as the logo’s versions, sizing, positioning, what font type is used for headings, body and colouring. it can also include what is not allowed and why. It’s a very important rule book.
With the rise of the digital age, there is very much still a place for print, whether it’s advertising, billboard or even bank cards, we can’t forget what's in front of us doesn’t have to be digital.
The newspaper has seen better days but with evolving technologies, we can harness new experiences with print alongside our screens.Digital layout and how we interact with media does play a big part in changing the way we interact with in-person print, influencers for example are seen wearing merchandise or placing stickers on drink bottles and suddenly you have a bunch of followers wanting to have the same product.In my experience, I’ve extensively used Indesign for spreads and layout formations for a variety of things online and off.I love seeing the final print of anything from its original digital phase. We can create something physically marveling to hold.
Custom Shirt Design & other Print Media
What’s better than designing your own personal look to show what you represent.
It has been so much fun designing different illustrations and showcase the different products that I'm proud of.From T-shirts to stickers, magnets and mouse pads.When I first opened up an Etsy shop I promoted it through Instagram, Facebook, on the Etsy site itself and word of mouth. I wasn’t immediately expecting to make a profit but was selling two shirts a week and a lot of stickers to students, so that got me inspired to continue and find a wider audience.It brings so much joy to hear so many happy customers and whether this is just a fun thing on the side or I take it to different heights at least it’s something fulfilling.
You can’t just hand the client a logo and be done with it.
In order to present my ideas and designs to a client it is important that I have some structure. We all want peace of mind when asking for a logo or design & I’ve made these template sheets for viewing all the ideas in one spot.

E.G. Wordmark Logos.
It’s very important to create a recognizable brand that can imprint on minds.
We need to give our ideas a purpose and a home which we can individualize against other brands of similar pursuit.My goal is to keep things flashy and colourful, I seek to modernize and update my personal graphic design identity with iconic colours and promotional items such as business cards and shirts that clients can take home and recall me above other designers.As my skills in the industry improve, I need to separate myself from the beginner crowd to a more well-established image.
