Just Do It

 

"A badly designed road sign might kill you'"

The Works Skatepark have a Facebook page which is a great way of advertising themselves with news and events, however I came across this post today and had no idea myself about this weeks opening times? I checked the website like anyone would I spose and found nothing. I may have missed it I don't know but this is a problem that could easily resolved.

 

Is it my job to identify stuff like this?

Hey if you want a simple advert like this, it wont take me more than 15 mins?!

F**k it I wouldn't even charge an hourly rate.... I might just do it for fun :)...

If your reading this post, 

Hi My name is Peter Sands and I design stuff.

* I also posted this to my Design Context blog, but it was just something I done to kind of reflect a talk I had with my tutors on maybe asking myself what is good design / or / what is a good designer? 

Is a good designer someone who identifies a problem and turns it round in a matter of minuets, hours or months?

or

is it someone who can make things look amazing and not makes a deadline for example?

Presenting A Logo

 

Final tweaked logo for The Works Skatepark'.

Own logo.

 

Tutorial

I followed a tutorial from Graham Smith blog which was how to make a logo look as though it was printed onto a textured background. This can now be applied to logos I have produced and present them in a professional way to clients and in my portfolio.  

Invoice

 

Started mocking up an invoice that could be used in the real world when the time comes. I had a rough idea what information I would need to include, however I looked at examples from different invoices from other freelancers and combined info and grids I could modify.

 

My logo along with my contact details I would like to physically stamp onto these documents such as headed paper and business cards. I feel this method would be cost effective and also have a personal/custom touch, however alignment/positioning would need to be accurate.

Came across an online portfolio for a graphic design and branding consultancy based in San Francisco. The website was strange to navigate, and made me want to suss it out to explore even more.
