Jolly good update!

Aloha!

So, my blog posts have more or less developed into a summary of recent projects rather than posts about individual ones it seems. I'm not sure if I prefer this method but it this is how it's developed organically in recent times with my workload so it is probably quite appropriate in that sense.

Huzzah!

Down to business, let me give you the skinny, kind reader:

Data Tech Services

I designed a logo for a good friends new IT company called Data Tech Services. This is probably quite formal for me in terms of project branding, as it's almost quite corporate. However, you only learn new skills and experiences when you push out of your comfort zone so thought I'd embrace it.
The company is about security and data, so looked into common icons, symbols and themes that relate to this. I doodled away a few thoughts and settled for the final look below, which myself and my clientate (a term I've coined for someone who is a client and a mate) are both very happy with.






Kids with Puns

I was approached a couple of months ago to submit work to a magazine called Kids with Puns, a magazine specializing in puns and word play. Anyone who knows me well or even just a little bit, knows how much of a sucker I am for bad jokes and puns in general, so I jumped at this chance and had a lot of fun with it. This was for the 4th issue of the zine, go and check out the glorious madness of puns and maybe buy a copy for £3. G'wan, that's like half a pint in most London pubs!






Gum control

This is my second gum artwork of my planned 'Gums and Puns' trilogy (click here to view the first one I did a couple of months ago). Touching on a similar subject issue as the last one, this time using the gum as more of a basis of imagery, using the iconic semiotic of the recycling silhouette. It was really fun to get a bit more creative and hands on with the gum, I have a feeling the third and final installment will push this element even further. Stay tuned.




That's all for now folks, until next time!
