I was approached by the owner of Stylz Hairdressing from my home-town of Nelson, Lancashire, to design and print the official sponsored team apparel for Hassan Ali ‘The Lion’, young British and European Kickboxing champion. The project started with a brand new logo, and the design and print of the hoodys to be worn on official functions and charity events.
This is just a quick post about a nifty web application which creates a graphical oil slick on any website. It’s kinda cool and creative, whilst also generating awareness about the recent BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
I was always delaying publishing this post because I thought it may show me and my fellow graphic designers in a negative light, but after being bitten by the third ‘serious messer’ this month, I’m pushing ahead. You see, I’ve got some great clients with which I share amazing social/professional relationships. Getting shitloads of repeat-custom [...]
I just came across this article on the UK Independant newspaper’s website and just had to give my take on the event, because designing, building and installing signs is one of the services I offer my own clients. A sign outside the Reflex Club, in Plymouth, Devon apparently fell off and struck a young female [...]
Victor’s Liquors is a new off license and liquor store in Sale, Manchester.

Intro These are six fonts I have decided to remove from my computer because I think they can be easily replaced by more modern types, or they’re too overused to be involved in my design work. Either way, these are the more notorious ones. No doubt there exist some absolutely idiotic and ugly fonts too. [...]
Just recently, I noticed some posters which had been put up around my local town centre by the town council. These were advertising a senior citizen’s concessionary RailCard, part of the public transport infrastructure. I don’t know who the designer is, but hat’s off to him or her for innovation! What made me stop, and [...]
I like sharing new things I learn ‘on the fly’ with everyone. I’ve not done many online tutorials but I’m quite confident about it and I’m hoping to offer an ‘organic’ service. Blogging as and when I overcome a hurdle. This could do with anything such as my business, wordpress, graphic design, web design, FTP, [...]
I don’t claim to be the world’s best graphic design artist but my love for it can appreciate great design when I see it. Just recently, I was scouring through the photo albums of a popular art related group on Facebook. There were over 250 great pieces of vector art, from these I selected my [...]
Mansha Sweet Centre, A Hit With The Locals! Mansha Sweet Centre started of with their first branch in ‘home sweet home’ Nelson, Lancashire, back in 1999. Their selection of freshly-cooked asian sweets, confectionary and savouries made them quickly become ‘jam-packed’ (forgive the pun) with customers every time you visited. Yes, be it morning, lunch or [...]
