Website Update

Last week I spent 3 solid days updating my website.. the site needed a bit of freshen up with new work, new pages and a better user experience. I am really pleased with how it looks and hope you all like it too!

You can visit the site yourself at rosiesimons.co.uk

National Cupcake Week

You may or may not be aware that this week is National Cupcake Week so I thought I'd share some cupcake related work today.

I have just finished working on a project branding Andrea's Cupcakes and Andrea's Cupcake Parties. The client wanted me to design the logo so it worked for both Andrea's Cupcakes - cupcakes for occasions  and Andrea's Cupcake Parties - cupcake decorating parties and could work on pink or white background..

I then designed business cards and stickers for the cake boxes (which I featured a while ago) from Moo. I took advantage of their printfinity option on business cards and printed different photographs of Andrea's Cupcakes on the backs of the business cards with the logo and contact details on the front. 

The stickers are a combination of bits of the logo and will be used to personalise the cake boxes when taking cakes to clients and on party boxes for partygoers when they take home their decorated cupcakes from cupcake decorating parties!

Next up I designed flyers, unfortunately no photos of these to share yet as they went directly to the client.. on the left is the reverse of the flyer where I used a simple pink polka dot background and the logo. On the right is the front of the flyer, with more subdued polka dots, coloured cupcakes and the 'ice • decorate • create' slogan for the cupcake parties.

 

Last but not least I designed and made their website andreascupcakes.co.uk

I even tackled flash to make the rolling image banner on the homepage!

Yet more Moo

As I told you on Friday I received yet more yummy pieces from the wonderful Moo.com, not only did I receive my own lovely new pieces but also business cards and stickers that I created for a client.

The client wanted a logo and identity for their cupcake business, which I created and then produced business cards and stickers. Andrea's cupcakes offer DELICIOUS cupcakes for all occasions and are going to be running cupcake parties, which I am currently working on flyers for, so more to come soon!

There is also a website and blog in the pipeline and of course social media outlets, so keep your eyes peeled!

Below are a few photos of the business cards and stickers from Moo.com. I love how you can have many different backs on your cards from Moo (like on my minicards) which we took advantage of by using photos of cupcakes made by Andrea herself and showing how fantastic the product is!

A second project is finished!

Finished off a second of my 4 projects yesterday, the VG Dance rebrand, you can check out the whole project here

Here are a couple of images of some of the final outcomes: new uniform, 4 poster designs, 4 leaflet designs & new website mockup

Really pleased with how the project has turned out, think the new logo is more up to date and the new designs better show the energy and passion of the school and its students

Back Pack to Bike Rack

I've been working on the logo for the charity bike ride 'Back Pack to Bike Rack' over the last week and thought I would share the outcomes.


I was asked to create the logo by a friend who is cycling from L.A. to New York in aid of charity. He will be cycling, unsupported, for around 3 months across mountains, deserts, rolling plains and urban jungles in aid of War Child, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, MIND.


Below are the logo designs, there are a few different ones for different mediums and different colour ways for different uses.


This logo is the main logo that will be used for the Facebook page, advertising, etc. In white on black and black on white.

 

The following 2 logos are simpler square logos for use on Twitter and other online sites.

And finally, the main logo in black and white where monochrome design is needed.

I am also currently working on creating a banner for the blog, a banner that can go over photos during the trip and an animation. I will post them all soon! The logo is also to be used on the clothing for the trip, so it will cross America!

There is also a website in the making, but for now if you want to know more, check out the Facebook page, Twitter or Blog.

Watercress Signage

At the weekend I visited the Croudace Watercress development in Alton, Hampshire that I designed the logo and identity for. It was great to see the logo big and shiny on the signs and also great to see how Octavia the graphic designer at Croudace had adapted the logo for different signs.

Below are a few snaps of the signs at the development.
