Scott Fitzgerald - 70th Anniversary Celebrations]]>Fri, 17 May 2013 13:35:17 GMThttp://www.tailoredesign.com/1/post/2013/05/f-scott-fitzgerald-70th-anniversary-celebrations.htmlTo mark the 70th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s death, Penguin Classics planned to publish hardback editions of six titles. The patterns evoke the jazz age of Fitzgerald’s stories, giving these books the elegance and glamour of the Art Deco period: the sense of ornate detail fused with the modernist aesthetic of mechanical repetition. 
The combination of metallic foil and matt paper gives a tactile enhancement to the reading experience. The type panel fits with the deco theme and is echoed on the detachable bookmarks.
Absolutely gorgeous.

<![CDATA[Logo Development (Personal Project)]]>Thu, 16 May 2013 13:16:01 GMThttp://www.tailoredesign.com/1/post/2013/05/logo-development-personal-project.htmlHere is an example of some rough logo designs I did for a friend of mine who is starting her own mobile waxing business named "Wax-Away".
The logo needed to be fresh, contemporary and eye-catching. I love using block colours with black and white at the moment and If you knew my friend... you would understand why pink was the prime colour choice to run along-side! 

She chose the bottom left design. The mix of typography look great together and I think this was the best option as it suits her business, along with her personality, down to a T.

<![CDATA[Local Choice Competition]]>Thu, 16 May 2013 12:48:24 GMThttp://www.tailoredesign.com/1/post/2013/05/local-choice-competition.htmlRecently I was asked to help boost our companies social media statistics by holding an online competition, offering one lucky Facebook user the chance to win a weekend trip to London.
I designed a Facebook "cover" image to show users how to enter the competition, an image to be posted and shared throughout the course of the competition and a graphic to show the winner once it had been drawn.
The competition was a great success, I managed to gain the company over 3,000 new "likes"! I'd like to think my graphics did the trick!
