Still proving very popular is the Penguin Books themed Wedding Invitations I have been doing for couples recently. This latest one takes on the title ‘A Country Wedding’ which becomes the title of the book cover / wedding invitation and reflects the bride and grooms garden and outdoors wedding day. The great thing about these book cover wedding invitations is they can lend themselves to nearly any wedding theme, or represent any special bond between a bride and groom by simply applying the theme to the books title. These are the perfect wedding invitations for any book lovers out there.

This latest wedding invitation that i have designed is possibly my favourite yet of all the wedding invites that I have worked on. The bride to be contacted me asking for something cool, retro and funky with a touch of vintage. Her colours were turquoise and silver and the rest was up to me. I had recently started using a series of funky fonts Rosewood, Cast Iron, Circus and Romantiques and taking random letters out of each to create the words I wanted to spell out and this has worked no better than in the words wedding invitation as seen below. I repeated this throughout the wedding stationary in the evening invitations, RSVPs cards and guest information and directions cards. I used some swirly designs in the background and put nice semi-circle lined trim around the invites. To finish them off I put a grungy speckled effect slightly over the invites to give them a slight vintage feel. Im really pleased with how these retro funky wedding invitations have turned out.

This is the latest website design I have been working on for The Specialist Dental Clinic in Holywood, Co Down, Northern Ireland. This project has followed on from some other dental clinic website designs I have recently been working on Including Foyle Dental Spa in Derry and Dental Excellence Clinics in Belfast & Portadown. I am really pleased with how the design of this website turned out and it has a very rich feel to it with the black and gold colours yet still keeps with the clinical feel of a dental surgery. You can visit the site here http://www.thespecialistdentalclinic.com

Last June a Lady contacted me saying she was a book lover and could I design her wedding invitations based on the concept of Penguin Book Covers. Little did I know that 8 months later she would only be the first of many and that there is so many book lovers out there who want to incorporate the idea of classic penguin books into their wedding invitations, wedding stationary and wedding days. In the past few months I have designed quite a lot of penguin books wedding invitations for bride and grooms and I can see the appeal. The latest one I have worked on here is for a Bride & Groom in England. They wanted an invitation that could be opened unlike the postcard style which I have done up until now. I was quite pleased to hear this as I think it further adds to the bookish feel of the invitation. The inside details of the wedding invitation I designed up like the first few pages you would see when you open a paper back book (I even had a paper back book effect in the background) and on the inner left side there is also a quote from Homer (not Homer Simpson!) who had many books published by penguin books. The invitations turned out fantastic as you can see in the photos below…

February has arrived already and February is famous for Valentines Day and this year is also leap year. I noticed a social networking company in Derry ‘Joe Derry’ running a poster design competition on the theme ‘Love’ so this is a Love Poster I designed based on that theme. It features the quote “Love: the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired” which has been attributed to both Mark Twain and Robert Frost, so I will let literature fans decide over that one.

Something different for Pamela and Marks Wedding Invitation. They wanted a retro wedding invitation using typography as the main focus. I remembered seeing some cool fonts that I had wanted to use for a while and they worked perfectly for this invitation design.

When I was contacted not even a year ago to design a couple some penguin books inspired wedding invitations I didn’t think 8 months later I would be still be providing book loving couples with similar styled invitations. But it seems the Penguin Books and Penguin Classics style of Wedding Invitation are hugely popular with book lovers and I have been providing them to couples all over the world. This is the latest one I have designed up for a couple in Texas, USA. This one is completed with a grungy finish to give it the impression of being an old book or vintage feel, it also uses one of the other colours found in penguin book covers instead of the traditional orange.

This is a Logo Design I’ve been working on for a Gym based on the theme of Irish Legend Finn McCool. The logo for Finn’s Gym Brooklyn, New York features a character based on Finn McCool lifting weights which are made from the basalt columns which can be found in Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland which makes up part of the story of Finn McCool. The type used for FINN’S GYM Brooklyn I created using Letterpress software recreating old printing methods.

This is another poster design I created starting off using letterpress software to recreate the old letterpress printing method. I am a big fan of vintage surfing posters so I wanted to create something in the theme of surf poster design. The topic I used for the surf poster design is the theme of the Sea Sessions Surf & Music Festival which takes place in Bundoran, Co Donegal, Ireland each summer.

This poster style wedding invitation design is one I designed for a couple who wanted something unique and different for their wedding invitations instead of the usual run of the mill style wedding invites. Because of their Names Lucy & Tim I was able to make a feature of the letters U & I which was a nice touch for the wedding invitation.
