First video campaign for Spark…

Friday, 18th February 2011

An exciting new video marketing campaign is underway for Spark Response. The company’s official photographer, Saša Savić, filmed on site at Spark’s contact centres for four hours today with the aim of building upon an existing image-lead brand. The content will hopefully form part of a newly re-launched website in early March.

UPDATE: View video – Spark on YouTube

Celebrating ten years…

Thursday, 10th February 2011

September 2011 will mark the tenth anniversary of my entry into the world of Art & Design. To celebrate, I have put together my first ‘proper’ portfolio. After those humble few years of having nothing of any merit to put into a portfolio, and the last few years of being too busy to create one, I have spent much of the cold winter of 2010/11 designing the 50-page book I am now awaiting delivery of. The book heavily profiles my work for Toyah, Stagecoach, megabus.com and Spark Response as well as highlighting work for more recent clients and those jobs I consider part of my development as a commercial designer. A sneak preview is shown here.

andalucia-property.biz is back…

Sunday, 30th January 2011

One of my first clients, andalucia-property.biz, along with my first ever property sales website, is back. The site had resolved following a slump in the Spanish property market but, with light at the end of the tunnel and Spanish banks lending again, the site has returned and been revamped for 2011. The new site should be around for the next twelve months whilst the client looks to sell its last few remaining properties in the Andalucia region of Spain. http://www.andalucia-property.biz

Toyah celebrates 30 years with 2011 ‘tour’…

Monday, 24th January 2011

Toyah will embark on a tour of sorts this year with a select number of her 2011 gigs featuring songs “From Sheep Farming to Anthem”. So far, six gigs have been set aside for a setlist that will feature songs from Toyah’s first three albums: Sheep Farming in Barnet, The Blue Meaning and Anthem… hence the name of the tour. Such is the significance of these gigs that we at the ‘Toyah Camp’ have given them their own identity, which features elements old and new including current Toyah logo and original album logos, Egyptian-inspired graphics from the period and a brand new image of the punk princess herself in one of her original early-8os costumes.
