Rejuvenescence...

1. 07. 2012

I'd like to welcome 'Rejuvenescence' to Forster - a new facial rejuvenation clinic! I was lucky enough to do the branding for this new business! A logo, business cards and a flyer.

Here are 3 of the 16 concepts I designed (yes I did get carried away):

After the client selected the logo they liked, I proceeded to design the business cards, here were the two final concepts I designed with the guidance of my client, they were fantastic - they knew what they wanted which made it easier for both of us:

After the business card was designed, I moved on to the double sided flyer. We had trouble finding an image to put down the bottom of the design, so I went out on a mini shoot and took some snaps of nature, unfortunately none of these worked either:

We ended up using a plain water shot that I took for the bottom, it filled in the blank space quite nicely:

HAMA Time...

Does anybody remember these ??

Here are some designs I did when I was about 6. And being such a hoarder, didn't have the heart to throw them out.

I recently stumbled across my HAMA beads! 

They were big in the mid 90's and I was obsessed with them.....I still am! 

When I was younger I would sit with Grandpa and he would sort all the beads into colours for me, picking them out of the container with tweezers. He would make the best designs too! I think he loved it just as much as I did!

Hama beads are fusible beads - you place them on the peg boards, then when you are done you place wax paper over the top and iron the beads, this heats them up and melts them together so you can take it off the board in one piece! 

Unfortunately, the bead faze soon faded out and you could no longer buy them in the shops! (Grandpa was most upset.) BUT!!! I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY STILL EXIST!! I am soooo tempted to buy some more! I have 13 years to catch up on!  Click here for HAMA!

Drawn Together...

3.06.2012

I love drawing, but these days I don't really have the time to sit down and draw like I used to! I hink I really need to make time!! I love drawing for other people especially - this drawing is for my beautiful (future) mother-in-law, it's her birthday today and she recently became a Grandmother, so I drew a picture of her gorgeous grandson Jacob Lee and framed it.

Missing Persons...

02.06.2012

This is an assignment I just found that I did in my first year of University (2009), it feels like a lifetime ago. It was a themed set of photographs and we could choose whatever subject we wanted.

I chose shoes, typical me! I used the shoes as a symbol, a symbol of abandonment, ultimately to represent the overall theme of missing persons. The dark low saturated images are depressing and there is nothing life like about them! I placed different types of shoes in different environments (e.g. toddlers shoes in a playground) to make the audience question where the owner is and why their shoes have been left behind, what has happened to them?
