What does your stationary say about you?



The paperclips are the best! This just shows how the littlest detail can give a piece of design so much character.

Angel Falls is a local coffee company. 4 promotional pieces were created: a two color silk screened poster, DVD promotional packaging, volvelle wheel for a promotional mailing, and postcard. The designed pieces was chosen to mimic coffee sacks that are used to decorate the coffee house.
Skills / Technology Used:
Silk Screening, Adobe Illustrator & InDesign



The bold design works really well. This makes me think the stock a choose to print on is going to make a big difference to my artwork.

Starbucks Cup Holder

The starbucks cup holder is made from corrugated card. This is so the card will grip the cup. I think this is something i may need to consider for my cup holder.




Au Chocolat Leaflets

Some leaflets i found when i was shopping around Leeds. I love the simplicity of them and the choice and colour of paper sock making a massive impact on them as a set. The design on the front is layed out with lovely negative space allowing the illustration and type to breathe without it getting too over complicated. Good design is definitely appreciated.

1000 restaurant, bar and graphics-Luke Herriott

Here i looked at sets of promo material for coffee shops. I saw a consistency in how the logo is still kept as the main focus in whatever they apply it onto. This is something which i need to do!

“Mallard is a specialist tea company which sells loose leaf tea through its shop and tearoom in Knutsford. The mix and match branding is inspired by the eclectic feel of the establishment which is quirky, eccentric and unmistakably English.”

“The brand is simple: Four colours, one custom typeface, and lots of witty and original copy.”

The work for Brooklyn Fare is a full-on identity: packaging design, custom typeface, copywriting, even interior signage and t-shirts (in all it uses only four colors). The packaging "talks" to the consumer using a witty tone, playing on tired cliches, and we're especially fond of the coffee cup sleeves that poke fun at Starbucks, saying, "It's a medium not a grande" and "It's a small not a tall." Suck it Starbucks!

Ami and Luci Household items

These two friends take normal things they find around the house and make them into words. I think this is a quick and easy way to make a diary or experimentation, and is something i think i should consider when i create typefaces.
