Business Card Designs

I have been busy designing a Business Card for myself, I'm often asked for my details - so its about time I had some cards printed ready to hand out to anyone interested and all potential clients!
I wanted a double sided card, with both sides printed with colours to correspond with my website and the Candyreef brand. The decision to make the corners rounded was made early on as I felt this suits the soft lines of my illustration style. The Front Design was easy... the back was a more difficult decision.

I tried many designs and loved some of the simpler back compositions with clean lines of text and my logo. This would have been fine If I was promoting my skills as a Graphic Designer but as an Illustrator, I decided that the final card should include elements of illustration! I hope that my name will be associated with the image and style, reminding collectors of my work and what I can do. I used an existing illustration and changed the colour balance to blend with the background.

Starlet Rivalry Book Launch - 31/01/09

I attended the book launch for Starlet Rivalry on Saturday 31st of January, this was held in Waterstones, The Chimes Shopping centre, Uxbridge - West London. I wasn't sure what to expect really and I felt a little nervous and excited to see what all the fuss was about! I was greeted by the author Puneet Bhandal, and piles of books ready to be signed. Puneet had fantastic promotional t-shirts printed for the occasion, modelled by friends and familly.

It was great to finally meet Puneet in person, as we'd only spoken once on the phone before - the commission was carried out entirely by e-mail. The wonders of modern technology!

The launch lasted about an hour and featured a 'dress up in Bollywood-style' competition for younger readers, where the best outfit won the chance to have a character named after them in the next book and a Bollywood goody bag! The event also included a Bollywood Dance Performance, Bollywood Karaoke and the book signing.
