Social channels are filled with kids dressed up for hashtag for me and or house that's whole thing is a distant memory, but as we're celebrating books, here's a slide of book covers I've created over the years.

A huge thanks to Andy Gibney owner of 3P Publishing. He put his trust in me to create most of the book covers for his clients over the last nearly 10 years.

Another mention for Steven Mather Solicitor, i've known Steven i'd say all my self-employed life and over the years i've worked with him on several design jobs for his business. I've also been helping with his more personal projects. The latest being a book called 'Drafts Disclaimers and Deaths', it's just been released, and i'm already seeing positive reviews :)

Day 10 - Xmas Design Tips

Timeless Design

This could start a debate and you might disagree but for me at least avoiding trends will help your logo design last long. It won't age or look old when that trend shifts. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another quick tip

Xmas Design tip Day 9

Vector graphics

When designing a logo you might find a nice image you want to use, unless it's vector based i'd say avoid. We've talked about scaleability and a vectorised logo will help you do that whilst keeping that logo sharp and crisp, if using a raster effect or an image unless its a super high-resolution image you will lose quality when it scales up.

25Days of Design Tips - Day 8

Is it responsive?

In today's world, we view our sites on multiple devices so it's important to ensure your website is viewable on multiple devices.

How many times have you closed a site because on mobile it's just a shrunken down version of the desktop version so it's impossible to view.

Day 6 - Xmas Design tips

Safe Margins

This will change depending on the project but safe margins & zones allow that information to be seen, if it's an advert going into publication then you might find the inner side might have a different safe zone due to the fold. So it's important to understand the project and where it's going in this scenario.

Day 5 of the 25 Days of design tips

CMYK -

Before printing anything just check your using the correct format - CMYK are what printers use, whilst you can still use RGB elements, the printer can convert for you but results can't be vastly different to what you expect.

25 Days of design tips

Day 3

Define your colours

You might already have your primary logo sorted but maybe think about having a secondary bank of colours which will work alongside, those might have a regular role or only when you need a second colour.
