Acoustic River Festival Logo Design Derry

Acoustic River Festival Logo Design Derry – This is a logo I designed for a forthcoming music and dance festival to be held in County Derry during the Derry 2013 UK City of Culture year. As the title may suggest the festival is to be held near a river bank and hence my choice of colours for the logo, the blue’s to represent the river and water and the greens to represent the river bank and earth. The festival is going to incorporate all types of music and dance so I built up the river bank in the logo design using all sorts of music and dance based icons.

Cinema Poster Wedding Seating Plan

Cinema Poster Wedding Seating Plan - Happy New Year Everyone! where did 2012 go? It will be missed!! However onwards with 2013 we must go! But before we kick straight into the new year here is a wedding table plan I designed for a couple who got married over Christmas. The seating plan is based on a Cinema poster as they wanted a Movie themed wedding. This one turned out pretty cool, it has the cinema in the background with the couples names on the cinema screen and then has a lost of actors who are starring in the ‘made up’ movie, these actors and actresses are the table names for the wedding. Underneath each of the actor and actresses names is the list of guests that will be sitting at that table. I am looking forward to working on lots of new wedding table plan designs this year who knows what is around the corner!!

Elegant Vintage Festival Poster Wedding Table Plan

This wedding table plan is for a couple who got married… today as it goes… they wanted a festival style table plan but with a more elegant look and wanted it to tie in with their colour scheme of black and pink. The result can be seen below.. I tried using some elegant and classy typefaces coupled with a vintage rustic background to combine the feel of a vintage festival poster. I think it turned our really cool, it looked really classy before adding the rustic effect but that gave it alot of character and achieved the result I was looking for. The couple named their tables after their favourite bands and these lists acted as the festival bands line up on the poster… for more wedding table plan ideas click here or to get in touch about getting a wedding seating plan designed please click here..

West Highland Way Trail – Scottish themed Wedding Menu

This is a wedding menu I designed a few months ago and totally forgot about until someone inquired about something similar. The wedding was in Scotland and I had previously created a Scottish themed wedding table plan for the couple and then they wanted their wedding dinner menus to have a quirky design also, so they came up with the idea of a Scottish walking trail. after some research I discovered the west highland way trail which covers a large part of the country side including popular spots such as Loch Lomond, Ben Nevis, Fort William and other parts of the Scottish Highlands from Milngavie just north of Glasgow to Fort William. So anyway I used this route as the layout for the days events including dinner, drinks, dancing, and other parts of the wedding… It turned out pretty cool as you can see below…

Wedding Festival Lanyards

This current set of wedding stationery that I have been working on for Kelly & Brian has been a dream. The 2 soon to be newly weds have went all out for their festival themed wedding. As I mentioned on previous posts the guys were originally meant to get married in the summer which would have been WEDFEST, but they had to put the wedding back to winter and so Winter Wedfest is the theme. On previous posts I showed examples of the festival ticket wedding invitations I designed for them and I also am working on a festival themed wedding table plan and table cards as well as some other bits and pieces but this is my favourite part of the whole thing…

They asked me to create wedding festival lanyards that the guests would be given on the day of the wedding with all the information of the wedding on it just like you would get at a real festival. Included on the festival wedding programme lanyards are the running times of the day, dinner times, band and music times, menus for dinner and evening food, a venue map to show people where everything is and other fun stuff.

These wedding festival lanyards turned out amazing and will look fantastic on the day of the wedding especially when everyone is wearing them and dancing around at night, it will really add to the festival theme of the wedding. Check out the photos below which I took on a rare sunny moment these days as its about -1 degrees outside at the moment, i laid them down in the grass and they wouldn’t look out of place at any festival! if you would like to enquire about something similar for your wedding please click here to get in touch…

Vintage Orange Penguin Books Wedding Invitation

The Penguin Books Wedding Invitations I have been producing over the past year or so are still as popular as ever. People go for all sorts of colours and finishes for their wedding invitations but the classic orange penguin books still is the most popular. This one below titled ‘All you need is Love’ is a perfect example of the bookish look that be achieved by the penguin books wedding invites. This one has been finished with some vintage staining to give it the aged and worn look that an old retro book may have after sitting about for 50 years.

These invites look great and are really brighten up where ever they are placed when on display. All these invites can be totally customised to suit your wedding, titles and themes.. if you are interested in these vintage orange penguin books wedding invitations please get in touch….

Wedding Festival Save The Date Cards

Festival save the date cards – These WEDFEST festival themed save the date wedding cards are a set I designed for a couple of festival lovers called Jessica & Paul. Jessica got in touch with me after seeing some of my previous festival themed wedding stationery and in particular the festival ticket wedding invitations I had created.

Looking for something similar Jessica gave me a run down of what kind of thing she wanted and I set to work… the first part of her festival themed wedding stationery is the festival save the date cards. I designed these cards to look like flyers announcing the initial wedding details, much like you might see when a music festival announce its dates and main headliner months before the rest of the line up is announced. For these save the date cards I designed them in a really grungey style, which will be carried out through the rest of the stationery using the WEDFEST 2013 logo throughout… I have already designed the invites which are done like festival tickets and they look even better than the save the date cards but for now this is all I can show you… stay tuned for more awesome festival themed wedding stationery…

Personalised Wedding Thank You Cards

Below is a set of wedding thank you cards I created for a couple from Donegal in Ireland, who got married earlier in the year. The couple Cliona & Philip requested that their cards be black and white only, no colour and sent me on superb black and white photos to use on their personalised wedding thank you cards. They printed out beautifully as you can see below and look really classy and elegant. I finished of the design by adding a polaroid picture of the couple with their little boy on the back of the cards. Great photos and this made for great thank you cards.

Book Style Wedding Invitations

I have designed alot of wedding invitations based on book cover themes and especially penguin books classics covers, this next design follows that same format but the couple wanted the wedding invite to look and feel even more like an actual book. The only way to do this is obviously add some pages to the book and thats what I did. I took the information that on other invitation packs may appear as separate cards and put it all on to one book design.

So the first page is the front cover as normal, once you open the book invitation there then is an inlay page, on the left is a poem and then again on the first right hand page is the cover title again, much like you would see in an actual book. Once this next page is opened you are presented with the actual wedding invitation information. Flick on to the next page and there is more information about the wedding including maps and directions etc.

This book invitation looks really cool, the inside pages were all printed to look like an old aged book and have that vintage feel to it.Although it only has a couple of inside pages it really gives of the look and feel of a real book! Like the look of it? want it? contact me…

Map of the world Save the Dates / Wedding Invitations

Below is a set of save the date postcards I created for a couple called James and Caroline. The 2 of them are originally from Dublin and both moved to Australia a few years ago where they then met each other and discovered they were from the same place back in Dublin. On a trip to New York they got engaged and are coming back to Ireland to get married. So they wanted to reflect all their trekking around the world in their wedding stationery. I suggested the idea of a map of the world and highlight the key areas of their relationship, where they are from, where they met, where they got engaged etc.. they liked this idea and asked could I make it look like a vintage style postcard… The results for the save the date card are below…

Festival Themed Wedding Invitations

Following on from the festival ticket wedding invitations I recently designed this is a set of festival themed wedding invitations designed in the style of a festival concert poster. Drawing inspiration from some of the festival style table plans I have worked on this couple Rikki & Simon wanted their wedding day plans laid out in a festival line up format. Using the term Wedfest 2013 as the name of the event the headline acts on the poster / invitation are the bride and groom and then the days events are broken down into the support slots. This is a really fun wedding stationery, the colours are really vibrant and really sets the wedding up to be a really fun day.

For the evening invitations I kept the same design but with some slight changes. The evening invites have a strap line of THE AFTER PARTY which clearly makes a distinction between the day invites and the evening invites, plus as its aimed at the evening guests I have changed the colours to give more of a night time twilight feel to the invitation. Both of these invites printed really beautifully and were finished off with a gloss lamination to really make them look fantastic.

Rikki & Simon were so delighted with the design of the wedding invites that they wanted it printed up as an A1 poster which they could hang in their house. You can see the poster in the background of the pictires below and it will certainly brighten up whatever room they choose to hang it in.

Cypress Hill US Tour Poster Design

I was extremely pleased last week when the management of American Hip Hop/Rap Band Cypress Hill got in touch with me and told me they had seen some of my previous design work and would like me to design the poster for Cypress Hill’s forthcoming US tour and a variation on the poster to advertise the bands headline gig at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square New York City on Halloween Night. Supporting Cypress Hill on the tour is New York rapper Action Bronson who also features on the poster design. A great project to work on! *Insane*

Polaroid Style Wedding Thank You Cards

Once a wedding is over usually the last thing for the newly married couple to do is send out wedding thank you cards. To most people this marks the end of a year (or more) of crazy organising, planning, meetings, fittings, ordering, buying, shopping, fighting, threatening to call it off, changing minds, and more organising until basically you are drove mental! haha.

However on this particular occasion for me this marks the end of working with Amy & Allan, a couple who are a designers dream, and I loved working with on their wedding stationery. I dont really produce normal or run of the mill wedding stationery so when they contacted me with their ideas we were both on the same page. They wanted something different right from the start. For their wedding invitations I designed them a very font heavy and stylish vintage style poster wedding invitation. This still is one of my favourite wedding invitations I have worked on to date… click here to view the wedding invitation… After this they contacted me to design their wedding table plan, and again they wanted something different and we ended up with a music festival style poster for the table plan… click here to view the table plan… Finally they got in touch with me to design and create their wedding thank you cards, again looking for something different Amy suggest the idea of an Instagram style print, from here I suggested the idea of a polaroid style print with a wedding photo on the front and the back as a postcard so they could send out these out as thank you cards… after a bit of fine tuning we arrived at the following… a polaroid photo style wedding thank you card … and I know I always say this but its my favourite yet!! I printed these with a gloss finish on the front to give the real feel of a polaroid photo print… check them out below… if you fancy getting something similar done click here to get in touch…

Dudey Army Artwork – Paul McCloskey Boxing Robe

Last weekend Boxer Paul ‘Dudey’ McCloskey was in action again at Belfast’s Odyssey arena and successfully defeated Mexican-American Boxer Manuel Perez. I had previously worked on some poster designs for this fight which can be seen here… Dudey contacted me the week before the fight with an idea of getting some artwork designed for his boxing robe. He had an idead of a skeleton or skull with the words ‘Dudey Army’ (the term given to Dudey’s fans and followers) somewhere on the design. After a few concepts the artwork below is what we arrived at and it can be seen on the back of Dudey’s boxing gown in the second picture… The photo of Dudey in the ring is copyright Russell Pritchard. twitter.com/russellpritchrd

Festival Signpost Wedding Table Plan

Below is a quirky and unusual yet really cool wedding table plan I created for a couple who just got married. Like alot of the work I have been doing recently Kate & Alex wanted the table and seating plan to reflect their love of music festivals but wanted to do something with a twist which is how we ended up with the signpost which is directing to the stages etc, under each stage name (which are also the table names) is the names of each guest who is sitting at that table. It turned out very cool and looked really fantastic when printed. View more wedding table plans here…

Penguin Books retro book cover themed wedding invitations

For the past year I have provided many couples with penguin books inspired book cover wedding invitations so I thought it was time to freshen things up and move forward 20 or 30 years and look at the designs of book covers from the 60s, 70s and beyond and try and use some of those retro themes to create some new book cover inspired wedding invitations which moves away from the classic 3 band covers. This one below for Denise and Robert is a perfect example to represent how any wedding invitation can be made look like a retro themed or vintage book cover.

Wane’s World Dungiven, Derry, Brand Identity Design

This is a brand identity that I redesigned for Wane’s World Party & Play Centre in Dungiven, Co.Derry, Northern Ireland. Wane’s World already had a logo design in place from when they first launched but it had become stagnant and needed revived and redesign by adding some fun into the brand. Basing the new logo design on the brand identity that they had already built up I simply updated the characters of the boys and girls and added in some new fun text which would appeal to children and made the colours more vibrant so they jump out and attract attention. All in all this is the perfect update to their brand Identity as anyone who is already familiar with the old logo design would look at this one and instantly recognise it is the same company but with a fresh new logo design.

Festival Style Wedding Table Plan

Lately I have been designing a lot of wedding table plans and wedding seating plans (both the same thing but people refer to them as one or the other). A popular theme for these wedding table plans is festival wedding table plans - to have them designed in a music festival style poster. I have done a few festival style wedding seating plans so far but this one is by far my favourite.

This couple got engaged a few months ago after featuring on Keith Lemon’s new TV progamme called Lemon-Aid. You can watch the video of the guys on Keith’s show by clicking here….

Claire contacted me asking for a a music festival themed wedding table plan based on a few of her favourite music festivals. The result can be seen below and really looks great, take note that special guest on the day will be Keith Lemon himself, what a great guest this would be to have at your wedding. If you are looking for a music festival themed wedding table / seating plan then please get in touch…

Keep Calm and Carry on Wedding Invites

Keep Calm and Carry on Wedding Invites - These wedding invites for Sophie and Matthew are based on the old Keep Calm and Carry On posters which were produced by the british government during the second world war. This Keep Calm and Carry On poster design has a resurgence in the past few years and has been re-issued over a range of products such as war memorabilia, posters, tea towels, mugs, t-shirts and pretty much anything else you can think of, which brings us to wedding invitations.

Sophie and Matthew wanted to use the Keep Calm and Carry On theme in their wedding invitations and wedding stationary design but still have an antique and vintage feel about it. The wedding invite I designed shows the Keep Calm and Carry On theme on a red wooden background with cracked white paint showing the text which has been changed to  Keep Calm its just a Wedding Invite, and on the reverse the wedding invite details are on some old torn and worn paper. These invites where printed A5 size to give a sense of a small sized Keep Calm and Carry On poster which could be kept and possibly later framed by the person that receives it.

Wedding Order of Service Booklet and Wedding Table Plan

My friend’s Elaine and Ashley recently got married and I designed their wedding invitations and wedding stationery including their wedding order of service booklets and wedding table plan and seating chart. I have already posted about these in previous posts but here are a couple of amazing photos taken by wedding photographer Lauren Rutherford. Lauren’s photography work is amazing and these photos are only a small snippet of her talents in wedding photography. Check out her blog here… and thanks to Lauren for letting me use these photos.

Aqua-Blue Vintage Penguin Books Wedding Stationery

Penguin Books Wedding StationeryPenguin books wedding invitations are very popular and most couples like to stick with the traditional colour of orange for their penguin books wedding invites but every now and again a couple will request a different colour, usually to tie in with their wedding theme colour. This is the case for Brian & Georgy. For their Penguin Books Wedding Stationery they wanted to have an aqua blue theme in their penguin books wedding invitations and these turned out amazing. They also ordered RSVP cards and directions cards which I tied into the whole theme and this resulted in a really nice wedding stationery set which you can see in the photos below…
