Hello lovely people!
I wanted to create a post to clarify the services that I offer, as this has expanded with plenty of experience over the past couple of years!
1. Graphic Design - what do I mean by this?
All experiential design from printed packaging design, logo's, business cards and brochures to all things digital like digital adverts, websites and emailers!

2. Illustration - what exactly is illustration?
The imagery itself, whereas graphics is more about the organisation of imagery with type and information display on its medium. It may be very simple hand-drawn shapes (like shown below) to a diagram to explain how to use something or an image to make your product 'pretty' and give a feeling to your brand. The main thing to remember about imagery is that having something original and unique for your business means you are not liable for Copywrite and you have something completely unique representing you!

3. Packaging Design. This is something that I've been working with plenty over the past couple for years from skin brands, eco wine and food products. I enjoy mixing my illustration with pack design for something completely unique and creative!

4. Branding.
Branding is the complete package. When you experience a brand you witness serval visual elements from typefaces, colours, photo's and illustrations. Branding is the precious art of putting these things together to create a visual impression of your product or service. Brand guidelines are important to create consistency with how you represent yourself to the world.

5. Brand consultancy.
Need advice on brand direct? Perhaps wanting to re-brand to capture a different audience? As touched on above, branding is very precious and there is ALOT of science within the psychology of branding, I can offer consultancy on this.

So there you have it a quick breakdown of what I do and what I can offer. I take a very down to earth and methodical approach to all my offerings and very happy to talk things over in person (bristol) or over the phone.
Communication is key to good design and enthusiasm!

Very happy to share with you some new branding I did for SOMA pilates. Emily holds lots of retreats in Morocco, under normal circumstances, and we decided to use this as our spring board for our inspiration.
The colour palette was refreshed, incorporating the two previous colours and adding a terracotta, and two accent colours pale pink and vibrant orange. Giving the feeling of the sun-bleached buildings with succulents propped up against them and sea being but a stone's throw away.
The logo is the representation of the disk of the spine with colours to harp back to the sun and sea.
It was a pure joy to work on this, and love the contemporary, playful and textural aspects.

~ Get in touch today to start your design process with me.

Design is collaborative by nature, and communication makes for the best results. I always offer zoom and phone calls throughout my service.
Look forward to working on more projects like this!

New year, new resolutions, new routines.
~∞
Despite having the news of being in fuller restrictions, I'm feeling ever hopeful for the new year and new opportunities that it brings.
Staying motivated and making to-do lists certainly help to keep on track of things. Perseverance keeps us strong and knowing that we will collectivity get through this.

Keep moving, keep creating and remember to keep doing things that you enjoy too! Fo me breaking up the time is key, I'm not one to sit still for too long! Mixing in house stuff like washing, cooking, cleaning, in my breaks from my computer.

I look forward to sharing more exciting projects this year and to continue to create in new and exciting ways. I will be dedicating more time to my design and illustration.
Check out my illustrations on insta ~ https://www.instagram.com/bleaf_design/

Take care and stay strong

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I've been busy doing lots of different types of things! Lots of packaging design subsequently forgetting to share things! Unfortunatly these didnt get picked to be used for the packs in the end, I'm pretty happy with them though, just sometimes things don't work out. These include my illustration of the Quazel bird too - the animal that represents Guatemala.

Get in touch for any commissions, happy to take special commissions for Christmas too :) Advertising, Christmas illustrations.
