The 'Good Will Collection' -illustrative cards


Greetings cards originated as simple slips of papyrus, exchanged by both the Egyptians and Chinese as messages of Good will.
The ‘Good Will’ collection is a comprises of a collection of 6 handmade illustrative cards ideal for all occasions and are the perfect capsules for messages of all sentiment.














My aim was to design cards that were not race, gender or occasion specific, as sometimes I just want a nice looking card. All the cards were screen printed and the accents of colour are the result of hand stitched wool to add texture and detail.

Ash Future logo





Ok, so i was asked to re create the 'Back to the future' logo for my friends identity, which is not my favourite thing to do, especially when i'm not a huge fan of the original. Never the less i did as i was asked, stayed close to original, but kept it simple......

The design manifesto of a lil critter :-)







The video shows my design process, which mainly focus's on the idea and thought process behind any great outcome. The video also illustrates my ever changing relationship with design.

The outcome is not quite what i had hoped, but what do you expect when you start the night before, :-s lol. However the mood i aimed to convey has come through quite well.

whats your worth??




As a creative i'm now entering the stage where i'm expected to determine my worth, im expected to tell people what i expect them to pay me WHAT!!! this has never been the case in retail you are TOLD your worth. The price for your time and your skill are already pre determined, you either like it or lump it.

Now to be thrown into a position where i have to determine my own value?

The worst thing is no one can tell you what to charge, they can only advise you, only you know your worth and what you are willing to work for. Not only this put knowing when to ask for a fee and when to take an opportunity??

is there a solution????
