These beautiful wedding thank you cards are ones I designed for Bride & Groom Marcus & Marie whose wedding invitations I previously designed, you can see these by clicking here. As there wedding was a winter wedding I wanted to keep some of that feel in the thank you cards but not too mush as its now spring. I achieved this by keeping the colours red and white to tie in with christmas and also the colours of the venue where they held their wedding reception which was The Red Door in Fahan. The photos were taken by Derry photographer Donal Doherty and they really make this thank you card stand out. See more wedding thank you cards here….

This is a festival themed wedding seating plan that I designed for a bride and groom who are getting married today I just realised!! So good luck to them and I hope their wedding day is the kind of festival that they hoped for.
When I was working on my wedding invitations last year I wanted to work a music festival theme into the invitations as we are festival fans, this was one of the festival style wedding invitations I ended up with. Unfortunately it didnt make the final cut but we had a festival themed wedding table plan instead. Below is the festival themed wedding invitation in the style of a festival poster wedding invitation.
This is one of my favourite wedding invitations that I have worked on. The bride to be Amy contacted me looking for a vintage poster style wedding invitation made up nearly completely from typefaces and calligraphy. She wanted to keep it completely black and white in order to tie in with her wedding theme colours. The results can be seen below and they turned out to be really cool wedding invitations.
This logo design is one I created for an Alignment Coach and Yoga Teacher called Kerry Cullen who is based in Donegal, Ireland. Kerry is a Occupational Psychologist that specialises in Alignment Coaching but is also a Yoga teacher. I wanted to come up with a logo design that wasn’t leaning to much towards the yoga side of things as there is already lots of that out there and her work more focuses on the alignment coaching side of things. After many attempts and several yoga inspired designs it struck me that alignment coaching is all about balance and the image of the balancing pebbles was exactly what I was looking for. With some colours inspired by Kerry herself the logo quickly took shape and looks like below.
From here we were able to use the image of the balancing pebbles for other purposes which will be carried through Kerrys business stationary and website. Below shows the balancing pebbles with some of the keywords that Kerry uses to inspire her clients in her coaching.

This is a Book Cover Design I recently worked on for a Drum School teacher called Liam McGorry who is about to release his book ‘One Step at a Time – Beginners Guide to Linear Drumming’. Liam is based in Northern Ireland and runs the 121drumschool which teaches people how to play the drums and develops their skills. The book is due to be released soon and the book cover designed by yours truly looks like this….
So basically the brief for this wedding invitation design was…..
Bride: “We are from Glasgow, but live in Kuwait in the middle east! We would like some funky vintage postcard style wedding invitations. We want an image on the front of us riding camels through the desert with sand dunes in the background, we want it in the style of an old Kuwait postcard, with some great typefaces and a stamp of our names, wedding date and home city” …..
Me: “No problem!”
Result: See below…..
These were very fun wedding invites to work on. The bride & groom are based in Kuwait and are coming home to Glasgow to get married so they thought this would be a very fun theme to have for their wedding invitations. There was a lot of thought and detail that went into these invites, every font and colour was thought over again and again and everything down to the font used on the envelopes (which themselves were recycled) was thought long and hard about. The result was worth all the hard work to create these unique wedding invitations. There is a real middle eastern feel to them, the stamps are really old school and one is an old Kuwait postage stamp.
The image of the bride and groom themselves wasn’t just a simple photo of them on camels either (which would have been really handy). I was given 2 head shots and the image of the 2 of them riding camels through the desert is the result of a lot of photo shopping made up from about 8 individual photos. It was worth the effort and finished the invitation in great style.
The wedding RSVP card also got the full treatment with their own vintage style military stamp designed to stamp theirs name, date and location of the wedding. This was a great wedding invitation design to work and the couple Tron & Audrey were a pleasure to work with, it makes it especially fun when the bride and groom want something different, unusual, unique or just downright bizarre for their wedding invitations. More of this brides and grooms…..
These are the wedding invitations I designed and created for soon to be married couple Elaine & Ashley. Elaine and Ashley wanted a Purple and Ivory theme for their Wedding Invites. These came out really nice and the matching RSVP postcards and Evening Invitations completed the set.

This is a website redesign I done for Donegal based actor Jason Matthewson. I previously worked on Jason’s last website but this redesign has brought a new fresh and clean feel to his site.
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.

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.
This is a logo design I created for an off-license in Dungiven, Co Derry called the Vineyard, and a few pictures of how they used the logo in their signage.
