Ad of the week.
















































Got to love a sexual innuendo! Made me giggle, although I'm not sure eating a Fabulous Baking Boys muffin will ever be the same again...

Something i was shown back in University...



Photoshop to the extreme, yet we still buy into these kind of products and believe we're going to come out the other end looking like a supermodel. Up the Dove!

The Grand's 3rd Birthday.

Upon arrival here at The Grand I was thrown in at the deep-end and was given the great opportunity to promote their 3rd year in business, as promised here are some of my designs (see below for the finished pieces of artwork)... unfortunately I didn't create this blog in time for you to attend but feel free check out their website for some other great events at www.thegrandvenue.co.uk




Exciting News!

Coming late this summer I will be teaming up with Gemma Vaughan (Marketing & Communications Manager) to host an event in Clitheroe at Carlito's Cocktail Bar. Details will be posted in due course...

The Grand.

As previously mentioned in my last post I have just recently started some work experience at The Grand in Clitheroe. I have been working here for the past month or so and have gained valuable experience and learned what life's like for a professional graphic designer in the real world. This differs from that of a pre-graduate at University. Deadlines means deadlines and work means work. I have now completed over 20 live briefs printed and used for the venue. Examples will be uploaded soon!

Here we go...

So I have finally given in to creating a blog, the reason behind why it has taken me so long to jump on the bandwagon is that I didn't want to create one and just not routinely keep you all updated. However as I have now taken on work experience and started Freelancing after my time out I feel there is more than enough to keep you all entertained with a weekly update. I will be posting anything from the work I have completed to work that inspires me and or maybe more frustrates me with bad application and usage of Graphic Design (name and shame). For those of you who have no idea who am I am or what I do, give my website a visit through the link in the sidebar. So all there is left to say is follow me if you wish and feel free to get in contact. Over and Out!
