Portrait Commissions

PETS

Over the last few months, I’ve had the pleasure of producing pet and family portraits; this was especially busy around Christmas and birthdays, It’s been very special creating personal artworks for all kinds of people, particularly those who come to me through word of mouth, creating new relationships with wonderful people and having the special job of making something meaningful for them has given my practice purpose and meaning, I will definitely be open for portraits full time!

Starting out, I had been asked to do a few portraits but I felt I wasn’t good enough to accept portrait commissions, after some practice I managed to fulfil a few pet portraits and soon I was being asked about family drawings, I am looking forward to taking on more and improving my skills! I plan to do some self-portrait and celebrity drawings to keep up my practice, stay tuned!

Lovliest email ever!:

I feel very humbled and lucky to meet and work with such lovely wonderful people, this really is what life is about! Thank you to all my clients so far, I hope to work with you again in future!

Logo Design – The All Smiles Gift Co.

I am always over joyed when a company comes to me for a logo design. The below logo was for an e-commerce toy & gift shop, thus we wanted to make sure the final result was fun and punchy with a clear idea of what the business is about.

This project was very fun and it was great to work with All Smiles. Vincent supplied me with everything required, including: mock up base logo, colour scheme, preferred styles. This improved the efficiency of our work, I responded through a variety of mock up, development and final visual design boards.

DEVELOPMENT BOARDS

DESIGNS BEFORE & AFTER

On the left is the mock up design provided by All Smiles, this was created to give me an idea on what features are important, for example the “S” being a dominant element within the design, I was enabled to explore options with a definitive style in mind.

The project went very well, we were able to solve any problems that arose. These were around available fonts and the style of the ‘S’; unfortunately, the desired font was copy righted, so I was able to offer a range of free fonts, which I then tweaked to the client’s desire. As for the ‘S’, none of the fonts would produce the preferred curves, so I was able to design this freely using vector tools. These small issues were solved quickly and effectively, resulting in a smooth fun project and a very happy client.
