Design Makeover

By Kreative Bomb · Comments (0)


Heard of Layers magazine? No, I hadn’t either. That was until I registered my Adobe Creative Suite 4 software with Adobe and they offered me a free, three-month subscription as a gift for registering my software.

The magazine describes itself as a “How to magazine for everything Adobe” and is available both in digital and hard copy. If you select the three-month subscription gift from Adobe, they allow you to download the latest three issues in digital format which you can view onscreen using a software app called Zinio Reader.

I downloaded my three free issues and started browsing through them – to be honest, it’s a pretty good magazine with some interesting tips and tricks and articles provided by professionals who use Adobe’s software.

Each issue they run a really interesting feature called “Design Makeover”. Basically, the publishers of the magazine take a particular piece of existing design (which has been submitted in by the owner), that is serious need of a refresh and ask three designers to provide a ‘design makeover’. The subject of the article can be anything ranging from a website, magazine layout, book cover, piece of packaging or CD cover etc etc.

I viewed this as a great opportunity to get a piece of my design work out there and hopefully generate some leads. So I contacted Layers magazine and made them aware that I would be interested in being a contributing designer to this article.

Low and behold, within the space of a month or so, they asked if I’d have a look at doing a makeover on a company logo and website layout that had been sent in. Below is the before and after…

Before.

After.

Finally, after constantly being put on hold, I’ve managed to get round to designing myself some business cards.

Just sent the artwork off to Moo – hoping to get them back a week on Monday.

These are just a temporary measure and should keep me going until I can invest some serious coinage in proper, die-cut versions.

If you’d like one of my cards – drop me an email and I’ll bang one in the post.

The concept behind the letterhead and compliment slip is that members of staff will stick actual stickers on plain paper – therefore making each letterhead and compliment slip unique.

Postcards from the past

By Kreative Bomb · Comments (0)

Many, many years ago when I decided to go full time freelance/self-employed, I struck upon the idea of designing a couple of sets of self-promotional postcards. Now back in those days, I was trading under the name ‘jgr22′ and Creative Bomb was the merely the title of a set of these self-promotional postcards – how things have changed.

As it turns out, I still have quite a few sets of these postcards knocking about. So if you fancy a set, drop me an email with your name and address and I’ll get a set out to you.
