Magazine design: The Return™
I’m currently working on a hush-hush project that has got me all excited, after working on White Dwarf for three years, I’m back in the saddle of magazine design.
I’m hoping to be able to post some images of layouts once I get approval from the client, so stay tuned…
Understanding how logos work
The stars have truly aligned for me this past couple of days. I’ve been helping a friend of a friend (actually, a friend of my wife’s, but there you go) to do some design work for a ‘project’ (will be posting the artwork as soon as it’s finalised) and one of the things they wanted was a new logo design.

Freelancers (as a general rule) tend to be more financially competitive that design houses (simply because of the overheads) and tend to foster more immediate relationship with their clients.
First blog entry from Flock
Decided today to install Flock on my trusty Mac, and I have to say, so far I really like it.
Wedding news
Today we’ve been to see the (very nice) lady who will be creating our wedding cake - with lots of free samples!
Wedding plans – almost there!
Viv and I are off to Kinsale next week to finalise the details for our wedding in July.
We’ll be sorting out where everyone is staying in the cottages dotted around the venue, and sampling some cakes before deciding which one we want for the big day.
I would attach a link to the wedding venue but as Viv […]
Blogging for blogging’s sake
The amount of lists you can find on the net of ‘Designers you MUST follow’ are all well and good, but when you get a message every five minutes to some generic link, it kind of defeats the object.
