I like this 80's style propoganda poster I created for work. 

It was fun to do but sadly it's not being used. 

I've removed the words for privacy reasons.

I haven't done many logos, but this was fun. 

For a friend's band.

The Tasmanian Printing Industry lost an icon in Jim Atkinson, whose funeral I attended today. 

Though I was highly unfortunate to have never met Jim, he once believed in me when it mattered.

It is due in part to him that I won my first design award and I'll always credit him with that. 

Rest in peace Jim. 
We'll help look after your Annie for you.

This is a banner I created which is 3metres long to hang outside the Museum on a fence. 

I had to use the style of the Tas Seniors Week which already existed but I think I coped ok with some restrictions.

I'll try to get a photo of it hanging. I get a kick out of designing BIG things. :)

The New Curators by Jenni Klaus

We all spend countless hours these days on the internet. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, almost every human being in the Western world now logs on to something, somewhere. The Internet has taken our world into a new age. Not only an age of social media and endless information, of LOLCats and double rainbows. This is the time of the new curators.

I won!

Remember that portfolio I designed for Savour Tasmania?

Well the printers nominated it for an award and it WON!

I'm an 'award winning designer'.

Holy crap...how shall I live up to this??? :)

Here's a poster I designed for Edge Radio, a not for profit awesome
youth community radio station in Hobart, Tasmania.
They needed something "funky and fresh" which I hope I captured here.

Sure I went with the obvious imagery but why not?

 I kinda love how it turned out.

/update

I created two panels for an expo to fill a blank space and help tie all the elements of the existing stand design together. It was a simple design but the result was so clean and nice I wanted to share it.

 

This is a sketch for a blog banner I'm working on for a friend. She has a new blog, Julie's Sweet Shack. where she shares her expert baking tips and adventures! The brief is to create something fun, bright and inviting. The colour direction was PINK! Not my usual style but a challenge I'm keen to take on. I'm also helping Julie with a background and overall blog look. I'm no programmer but I'll do my best! 

/identity

I offered to design a new look for a friend's blog and social networking identities.
He needed a banner for the blog, icons for twitter and facebook and an image to represent his podcasts. I created a colour scheme and selected some fonts that I thought would go well with the new look. I used old typewriter keys to create the logo since I think of Jonathan as a writer first, critic second.
I had a lot of fun doing this!

The Film Brief is an amazing blog about movies and you can check it out here.

The first picture is a screenshot of my first financial piece of work. That is to say, it was sold! The design was for a charity fundraiser (which you can read about in an earlier post here) and it earned $275 to go directly to medical research in my community. Very exciting!

The second two images are of posters I designed for a work event. I tried to find actors who have been involved in stage, film and television and are well-known Australians. Luckily we have a few in Oz and it was difficult to decide. I think I picked the right ones.
