Elmwood

I visited Elmwood in Leeds (Guiseley) on Thursday for a chat about my work. All went well, I gained some useful knowledge about applying for the right kind of job, particularly artworker jobs and was informed I would hear back within 1 month of a possible job opportunity at Elmwood. After showing two of the designers (Simon and Steve) my portfolio, I gave them a promo pack and new business cards I had created earlier in the week. 

Here it is (or was).

Point & Anchor

I was recently featured on the designer showcase site Point & Anchor, take a look.

Business Cards

Here are new business card designs, I decided to create a much more clean and sophisticated card as this is how I see my practice heading towards.

Here are typefaces which I considered:

Here is the card, I chose to use the Jula Typeface:

A finishing touch to the card, I decided to break the line with a fading gradient as I felt it was too harsh and confused the break between my name and my contact details:

Here is an up to date logo

Website

Set up an indexhibit site for my design work. I chose to avoid using my full name as the URL as 'patrickholmes.com' doesn't really slip off the tongue. Here is what I came up with instead, it is more memorable, fun, and the play on words relates to my design practice.

New Branding

I have recently re-branded myself.
Here is my new logo and business card design.
I feel this logo represents a truer me, a graphic designer more focused with type and use of a clear, message driven style. I have also made progress with my web presence,  i have just purchased a domain; holmes-sweet-holmes.com - this is in my opinion more memorable than what might be thought best (patrickholmes.com), and i feel this will further influence people to visit. See, at the bottom of this post, my website layout design.
