New Work - Limelight

I've been very busy working on new work lately, one of my latest projects has been to design a logo, T-shirt design and poster for Vanessa Golborn School of Dance's summer show.

The logo had to work in single colour so it could be used on show stationery and screen printed onto T-shirts for students and helpers.

I also designed a black & white flyer and colour poster to advertise the event.. if you are local and like dance I highly recommend the event, the students are very talented and work so hard on their bi-annual summer show.

Limited Edition Kleenex Box Design Contest

Today I'm sharing with you my design for the Kleenex box design contest. Kleenex teamed up with design expert Kelly Hoppen MBE and invited artists and designers to create fashionable, unique and innovative box designs for the chance to see them on-shelf as one of three boxes available to buy in the Autumn/Winter design refresh.

Kelly Hoppen shared key interior trends for the season and I focused my design around royal purples, reds and oranges with an on-trend IKAT design. (seen below)

Now I need your help, if you like my design PLEASE vote for it! I would love to see my design on-shelf! You can vote here. Thank you in advance!

Wow, can't believe it's May already. This Friday it's been a whole year since I finished University and I can't quite believe it! It's flown by but I can't believe how far I've come and how much has happened in the past year!

I'm so grateful to be able to do what I love everyday so I hope today's Wednesday Words piece inspires you to do what you love too! With some nice spring summer colours and flowers on this beautiful sunny May day!

The colours used in this piece are from this week's Colour of the Week: Liberty palettes which can be found here!
