After having worked in the television and film industry for over a decade, I've decided to escape the madness and relaunch myself into the creative world of graphic design. This blog documents snippets of inspiration gathered, projects I'm working on, and miscellaneous musings. It's more of a creativity-inducing personal scrapbook than anything else, but I encourage you to peruse it's pages, and add insight and share interesting tidbits whenever possible, because they are very welcome.

My First Online Portfolio

I tried my hand at creating my very first online portfolio. In the past I had been used to mounting everything on heavy black stock and packaging it neatly in an oversized portfolio, but this time all it took was two hours, a little patience, and iWeb and it was easy and relatively painless. My only problem is that I never know what to put into a portfolio - I want to show as much as possible. I think I need to pare it down a little, but I need more great quality projects to replace all the ones I created as a beginner. And I also need to figure out a really good URL name for it. 

I still have one more year of Graphic Design training and then I will be officially starting my second career. I feel like I have a long way to go, but I know it will go by in the blink of an eye. I need to have a great site that will really represent my talent and ability. 

You can view my online portfolio here.

And send in your suggestions - I could use some guidance.

Vintage Surf Posters



I've always loved the look of vintage surf posters - old and new. The colours, the simplified, almost-woodcut lines. So classic. Makes me want to buy a longboard and get out on the reef! I would love to be able to design any kind of board one day - surf, skate, snow, you name it. I've always been a big fan of board sports and culture.
