A selection of designs for my 2012 Christmas cards. They have been designed to evoke a hand printed traditional style and are typeface based, featuring lyrics from well known Christmas carols and songs. We Wish You A Merry Christmas with Stag Silhouette This design uses the lyrics for we wish you a merry Christmas and uses negative space to overlay the outline of a stag creating an image that is both traditional and modern. Green Jingle Bells The lyrics to the traditional Christmas song Jingle Bells are the basis for this typography lead design which fades in colour to evoke the hand printing methods of the past. 3 Baubles/ Happy New Year This design uses a bold style and features 3 baubles hanging from the top of the card with the largest wishing the viewer the traditional message of a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Designed for a charity Garden Party held in aid of Leicester based charity Menphys this poster (designed by me) uses a Retro 1950`s style typeface and pastel colour scheme. At the base of the poster I have used negative space to suggest grass, The design also features two ladybirds sitting on both the letter G and atop the box containing the main event details they look toward each other as if they are engaged in conversation at a party. I have included a QR code at the bottom of the poster linking to a map allowing people to receive directions to the event using their smartphone.
