Britain's Got Talent brief nears completion & more work for Adams

Sometimes I'll enjoy a brief so much more than others and find it really easy to complete, and theres no obvious reason why. the Britain's Got Talent project has been one of these. Perhaps its a combination of a good client, who in turn has a good client, both really decisive and constructive. Above is a watercolour sketch design for boyswear based on the one I already did for girlswear which they loved

Hopefully this latest round of amendments and recolours is the last and the project will be signed off.

I had a lovely email from the designer at Adams with some great feedback on the recent watercolour designs I completed for her and a request for lots more work from me. Adams is another good client, with concise design briefs and clear design direction, and not too unnecessarily picky so I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks working with them.

Ikea fabrics

My crafty friend Anna has found the most fabulous fabric in a most unexpected place, Ikea. It has further fuelled my desire to get working on some repeat prints for a small run of fabric from spoonflower. If only I could ever get this Britain's Got Talent brief finished....

Britain's Got Talent - The Boys

I'm back on Britains Got Talent today, this time working up some placement graphics for the boys' range. Some days it flows better than others and this has been one of those days. Its a tricky brief with limited imagery and a dodgy logo, but luckily this is via one of my favourite clients who always gives me lots of graphic inspiration and direction and we bounce off eachother well.

I could do with more space

I'm not sure if its the best space for getting creative. It was always a squeeze but the lightbox has tipped the space-to-sanity ratio over the edge. Perhaps when I get my bike shed and finally give Fiona's MTB the home it deserves it might not feel quite so crammed in here.

You can see in the picture the development of a placement graphic for Britain's Got Talent. I've taken stills from the show and created a collage with some star graphics and roses, which you can see by the printer on the right. I've then traced the image in pencil, which is on the lightbox. I've also added some watercolour splashes and scanned all these in. On the screen is the coming-together of all of these elements.

Latest design at Warehouse & Britain's Got Talent

Its nice to see my back catalogue still bearing fruit. This is one of my designs created when I worked in-house for a supplier.

Today I've started work on a new project for one of the Licensed Clothing companies I design for. We're putting together a style guide for Britain's Got Talent and I'm currently working on graphics for a range of girls' apparel. Variety is the spice of life and all that!
