I just like it, so within the next few months, Wunderland will be launched. Still no luck with putting this online portfolio together, Half my work is about 60 miles away, while the work I’ve done so far at Uni isn’t really “portfolio worthy” as it’s quite task based rather than anything illustrative or remotely Graphics.
Hopefully I’ll get this transfer to Edinburgh!

That was my quick news for the day!

Who Also happens to be the owner of a Travel Agency! She needed a logo re-doing and here is a rough Digital version of what I’m planning to create. I realized the Type is a bit too anorexic at the moment so I may fatten that up :) hah.
Let me know what you think! 

Edit: Sorry Click the image to see the full size version lol.

I am never satisfied! I should really start working on my online portfolio, but for now the main blog will have to do.

I’ve updated the ‘About Me’ section, although I may remove my ‘favourites’ from there…What’s facebook for, huh? Lol. I also plan on adding a small links section to the right hand side, and maybe a calender of upcoming events.

On another, less web-oriented note, I went to the beautiful city of Amsterdam last week with my University and manged to make visits to one major design agency and two freelance designers. I was really impressed with all the work, and it surprised me how much ‘design’ there is in Holland, so to speak. I’ve been under the impression all the best designers live in major cities, such as New York and London. Apparently not. I’m really glad I took the trip though as it’s opened my very closed eyes!

Finally, I’m happy to say I have three weeks until I can leave this pig-sty of a flat and go back home…THANK GOD! I have a month off for the Christmas holidays, which makes me incredibly happy. So I will manage to see all my old friends from my pre-University life. :)

Peace out.

This almost had me in tears, it was such a BEAUTIFUL performance!
This is Leona Lewis, performing “Run”, which is her new single from the Deluxe Edition of her album, “Spirit”. It’s a cover of the Snow Patrol song, but I have to say, as much as I love the original, Leona has just made this an incredible ballad. If this doesn’t go to number one, I’ll be shocked!

I’ve had a really busy month. First of all, I visited Florida for a 2 week vacation, which I have to say was amazing! I will probably write about that more when I have time. Secondly, I’ve been working on a project for a client, which needs to be finished (due to some errors with the text) and Finally, I have now started University officially. I am enjoying it so much! There seems to be a lot of stuff that I have already learnt to be taught this year, so it’ll be a good recap…or so I hope. 

I did hit a huge problem the other day however. My MacBook Pro has, as far as I know, had a hard drive failure which means I can’t use it. I have no idea either how much that will cost to repair as my Apple Care ran out about 2 weeks ago. Fantastic.

Anyways, I’ll leave it there and will continue to complete the site ASAP!
