The next step

A week or so ago I blogged some sketches I've been working on. I thought you might want to see some development images.

Making an impression

Just a quick one to let you know that a guest blog post I've written (on the subject of reassuring and impressing new clients) is now available to read over at HipHopSideproject. The blog is run by Kim Lawler, the lady behind the the super cool Finest Imaginary and this post is part of a series Kim has been writing on the subject of working for yourself.

I brainstormed a whole bunch of work related post ideas so hopefully I will write some of them up for the HelloWilson blog quite soon.

I'm a player (or at least a Rookie)

I'm very excited to have been drafted as a player on Dribbble. A very cool design site which (not knowing much about the sport) I think borrows its terminology from basketball. Anyway you can't just join you have to be drafted by an existing member so I'm pleased to be included.

Here's my page. And my first 'shot'.



It's well worth a snoop around on, there's some great work on there.

Feeling sketchy

One of my new years resolutions was to do more sketching and so I have been... Here are a few ideas I'm working on.

Redesign

I decided it was time to give my blog a little spruce up. I hope you like it! I've had quite a lot of fun over the past few days tinkering behind the scenes and designing new headers and backgrounds. I'm probably not completely done fiddling with the design - I still need to design some nice new icons for the side bar - but for now I'm quite happy. Hopefully the overhaul won't just stop at aesthetics either. As part of my resolutions for 2012 I have vowed to be a better blogger and try to post content that is really useful and interesting. I'm working on a few longer, more detailed posts as we speak. Wish me luck!

JaM rebrand

Before Christmas I completed a rebrand project for a contemporary craft gallery in Eton. JaM Eton has been selling beautifully crafted jewellery, ceramics and glass for the past 17 years and wanted a fresh look to help them attract new customers. The logo had to work in a variety of contexts, both in print and online.



The new look website will launch later in the year, and I'll let you know when it does.


If you have a business in need of branding or rebranding why not take a look at my portfolio and what previous clients have said about my work.

A handwritten letter

A few months ago I signed up to be included in a great project started by Mary Kate McDevitt called Hand Written Letters.


Mary Kate is drawing one hand written letter a day for the next year. I had almost forgotten I'd signed up when mine arrived. It was a lovely surprise. Here is my letter and the beautifully printed card that came with it:
