I’ve been a wee bit quiet on this channel.

Mostly this is because I have been super busy, which is wonderful, but also because I’ve been pondering why social media feels a bit more challenging on this account.

I am very active on my personal account, and mostly I think this is because the “why” is clearer. (More on that to follow).

So I’m this had led me to to think about making some changes, and a re-brand is in the pipeline.

So for now, I’ll try and be a bit more active, and hopefully soon I’ll reveal a whole new look to Porridge Design!

B U L L Y I N G I N S P O R T

Several months ago I saw a post from a lady who’s son was receiving nasty verbal abuse on the football pitch.

She was looking for advice on a number of things, one of which was to raise awareness of bullying in sport at this level with the creation of a logo for her son’s team kit.

The idea of anyone being bullied about how they look whilst doing a sporting activity that they love is beyond upsetting to me so I offered her my services.

Sofie Anita, her son Joe, and his teammates all had ideas for the logo so I took these on board and within 2 days we had it finalised and sent off to Colin Campbell Sports to be added to the strip. The team there heard the story and said they would print the strips free of charge as they also fully supported what it stood for. 🙏

The words on the logo represent the values of Spartans.Fc, and it’s gone down so well that they are going to offer it to all teams within the club to see if they too want to use it on their strips.

This was a really touching project to do and I was so happy to be able to help them in some small way. I’m incredibly proud of these boys for supporting their team mate and for the young man in question for continuing to do what he loved even when he was having to deal with unnecessary, cruel comments.

I have permission to share this lovely shot of the team looking fab in their new training strip! Thank you Sofie for the photos.

Be kind out there, there really is no place for bullying in sport.

Today’s inspirational human is

Some people you are lucky enough to know for a really long time. You have the pleasure of watching them hone their skills and develop into a truly outstanding and inspirational human being.

Clare and I were at school together and shared a love of colouring in. Turns out she was really quite brilliant at it and is now a superstar Illustrator full time - yeah I know she literally colours in for a living!

As well as this she has written (and illustrated of course), her own series of children’s books - Horace & Harriet, and is one part of the tremendous trio who created the Flying Fergus series. (And not that I’m in any way envious but she has also been on Blue Peter.)

When she’s not rubbing shoulders with Chris Hoy or living her best croissant filled life in France, I have had the pleasure of working with her on many projects with .

One of which is showcased here, and I challenge anyone to find more delightful vegetables!

So here’s to my superstar friend, and one of the most talented people I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with.

Be sure to give (and her other superb feed ) a follow to see her brilliant range of work and truly delightful observations of the world.

Absolutely thrilled to share this joyful brand identity created for the fabulous Emma Offord of .

The project has been a real pleasure to work on and a total team effort. As ever, it was brilliant to put creative heads together with the delightful and work closely with website gurus .spark who did such a superb job of bringing the site to life. 🙌

Emma’s passion for her business was clear from day one and I have been impressed with her decisions for her brand at each stage. If something didn’t feel quite right, we took a pause, had a chat and refocused onto a new idea.

I’m thrilled with the end result and anyone who has the joy of knowing or working with Emma will hopefully agree that her personality and colourful spirit are well represented!

Thank you Emma for these kind words about her experience working with me...

From the first moment I spoke to Helen, I knew I’d found the right person to help me build my brand. She instantly understood what I was trying to achieve and nailed the Elevate Personal Styling visual concept in her first presentation.
Helen is an absolute joy to work with and I view this as the start of a collaboration that will evolve over the years to come!

Congratulations on the launch of your brand today Emma, and what a fabulous birthday present. Happy birthday! 🥳

One of the absolute best parts of this job, is never knowing what the next phone call is going to bring.
When Kayleigh called and asked me to create a brand and truck graphics for her new haulage business, I hope I contained my excitement enough to remain professional sounding!
〰️
“Betty” needed to be ready to start her work on for the first week of January so we had to act quickly! I was honest with Kayleigh that a job like this would be my first but that I would do everything in my power to create something to fit with her vision and liaise with the sign makers to ensure timings were met and the process ran smoothly.
〰️
Thanks to the brilliant work from Brian at in Cumbria, I’m immensely proud to say that this beauty was rolled out today and will soon be seen traveling between Cumbria and Scotland, transporting a refrigerated unit. Absolutely outstanding teamwork from all three parties to get this over the line in a very tight time scale; what a lovely Christmas present for Kayleigh and Roger.
〰️
I would like to take this opportunity to send a massive message of support to the 1000’s of British and European drivers stuck at the French / UK border. We owe these people so much for keeping the country moving all year and I am devastated to think they won’t be able to make it home for Christmas. This feels like a terribly unfair final blow from this challenging year and I hope the situation is rectified as soon as it possibly can be.

Sometimes in this job, you have to make a choice. Whether to voice something difficult, when you know it’s the right thing to do, even if it risks the client walking away.
〰️
When Sandra came to me for label designs for her premium loose leaf teas, I felt it was my professional responsibility to advise her to also consider changing her branding. It was a hard conversation to have but it was the right one, and the resulting logo and fonts were far more aligned with her target audience, and reflective of the quality of the product.
〰️
Time and budget were extremely limited on this project so I put the effort into taking the concept she had previously and refining it to fit her target market more appropriately. I paired a revised version of her organic square, with a clean, modern serif typeface (Ivy Journal for any type geeks reading). I chose this font primarily for the way the ‘Ch’ worked and also the utterly gorgeous ‘&’. It’s amazing how many ampersands look like ‘Es’ or ‘3s’ so this one took some seeking!
〰️
When it came to the label design, luxurious colours, a subtle textured background pattern clean typography, white space are balanced nicely with touches of rose gold foiling. We had a couple of printing challenges with these which were all overcome and the final result was very successful!
〰️
Initially we created label designs for 4 variants for Chiya and Chai and also planned out all the other colours for the future variants. I’m so pleased with how the products look, both individually and together - can’t wait to see the range develop!
〰️
I am very proud of the feedback I received from this job. Sandra’s quote totally validates why I felt it was important to voice my concerns. Being honest is one of my personal values, - so when I had the opportunity to really live it, there was no doubt in my mind that it was the right thing to do. Even so, it was so gratifying for it to be appreciated so much.
