It’s about time!

A website refresh was long overdue for Mr Smith Creative. The work I do, and the way I’ve been doing it, has changed a lot in recent years, but the website was dragging its heels. So I’ve taken some time to rebuild it to better reflect the work I do, along with trusted freelance creative specialists.

- A newly updated homepage.
- Featured work, showcasing some of the projects I’m most proud of.
- A new services page, better describing the things Mr Smith offers.
- A page on our values, the things that define how I like to work. Normally these things are kept behind the scenes, but I want clients to know how we do things.
- Client reviews. I’ve had the pleasure of receiving some great feedback from clients, and I’ve shared some of it here too, so you can see what kind of service you receive from Mr Smith Creative.
- A brand experience list, featuring some of the great people we’ve worked with.
- And lastly, some of the lovely awards received over the years.

There are a few more pages to add, but this feels like a good place to share it. Have a look, and DM me if you spot any typos.

A lovely evening at the launch of the new five year strategy plan for the Scottish Seabird Centre. I designed the document, and it was cool to see loads of my drone footage in their new film.

As we left, we were greeted with a poignant natural event, as a vivid rainbow was shining directly in front of the Bass Rock, subject of much of the great work the charity do. And a fleeting one. A minute later it was gone.

Swipe through to see.

I’m making the case for one of my favourite brands of all time Iron Maiden.

Graphic design purists will probably list things like IBM or Apple as their favourite brands 🥱. Or something by Paul Rand or Saul Bass.

But ‘Iron Maiden’ to me, is everything a brilliant brand should be:

The logo has consistently remained the same since 1975.

They have inspired countless metal bands musically and stylistically.

They have extremely loyal fans.

They have a great mascot ‘Eddie’ - a towering zombie ever present in their artwork.

They combine brilliant storytelling, phenomenal musicianship and masterful showmanship.

They’ve played to millions of people around the world.

They have their own jumbo jet plane, flown by frontman Bruce Dickinson, (yes really)

Here are some images.

The first is me in I think 1990. I wasn’t allowed a real Maiden t-shirt, so I drew my own with fabric pens. The last one is me and one of my best mates Andrew FINALLY getting to see them live in 2017.

In between is a collection of evidence to Iron Maiden’s brand awesomeness.

Scamps. A practice that is rare these days, with powerful software, free/cheap stock and of course AI. But nothing gets an idea across better, without distractions than a good old-fashioned scamp.

I’ve developed a hybrid approach, part freehand, part tracing images, to create a fast and accurate way to get ideas down on paper.

When a visual idea is shown in black and white, in hand drawn visuals, with no images, colours, fonts or branding, you can focus on the visual idea alone.

A scamp is still a very valid and powerful tool. And arguably now, in the midst of a tidal wave of generic AI slop, more valuable than ever.
