Someone leading a meeting about market town Brackley fancied a display of non obvious images of the town to intrigue people, and encourage them to chew over the details of the place. They didn't have to promote it or put any spin on, just get people looking and thinking.
This is what I came up with...

A new preserve company contacted me through my Facebook page wanting a fresh and modern, yet painterly logo. Pretty much my favourite brief! I got a little carried away, churning out roughs to choose between before working up the final... A directional rethink meant that the company was going to take a more Chilli based approach. Back to the drawing board foas it were! And the final choice...
A lovely lady got in touch to see if I could create a laptop bag out of KateMoby fabric... Some designing and international ordering later and, yes I can! My most useful tool was a cereal packet "laptop" I made to match the size - it's nerve wracking making something to fit a specific object if you don't have said object in your possession! The final design incorporated a button closure, zip front pocket, lining and padding, canvas and leather handles and a good sprinkling of Beech Leaves! Not a bad foray into construction. Personally I'm most chuffed how the button I made lines up with the pattern so nicely. How I did it: Do you have a bespoke project you'd love to see brought to life? Get in touch!
Following from some lovely logo design, I've been commissioned to design some stationery for Children's online shop Bumbilee. First on the menu, lovely heavyweight business cards.
First, riff through ideas, develop then produce! The Banyan Tree in Brackley - home of Fair Trade products and artisan crafts. Plus now some illustrated and photographic cards and hand printed fabric Kate Moby goods. Yay! Plus they are connected to some pretty exciting workshop news coming soon... Watch this space!
A new children's shop came to me for a logo for their flourishing company. They wanted "it to stand out, a Katemoby origin-nally!" I happily obliged, with the usual process of creating a range of ideas, and then homing in on the favourite. It was great to have some graphics to get stuck into! Homing in on the best solution... And the final... Drumroll please!
I enjoyed putting together a leaflet for these lovely people with illustration and photography to advertise their charity shop and coffee shop in Hereford City. Check it out here. Hopefully it'll help them generate some much deserved customers to raise money for the anti-trafficking charity The Freedom Project. If you look closely you'll notice it matches a poster I put together earlier in the year. Oh and they're always looking for new donations, so if you get some things for Christmas that really aren't your cup of tea, here's a great place to pass them on, guilt free!
I was asked by these lovely people to design a matching range of photographs for their cafe. I've been itching to try out printing onto canvas for a while, courtesy of Iain Lilleystone, and had great fun making the wooden frames with my wonderful Daddio to stretch them over. I went for a green theme, and am rather chuffed with the final outcome, hopefully they are too! See them for yourself and let me know what you think!
More business card design - again for Midlands based handmade textiles producer Handmade By Joey, who wanted a full size option to compliment the mini cards I produced for her previously. A selection of different solutions from illustrated, photographic and graphic, with the final choice on the right. As the card indicates, check her out.
The good people of Society6 also seem happy to stock my work in the form of phone cases, laptop skins and ipod houses! And for a limited time only, if you follow this link you get free shipping! Happy shopping!
