Langton Brewery New Festive Beer Label - Welland Innkeeper

Here is the latest beer label I designed for the Langton Brewery based in Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire.
They needed a label designing for their festive beer for 2010 which is called Welland Innkeeper.
The illustration has a little bit of a biblical influence with a few festive colours thrown in.
The beer is for sale as a 500ml bottle and also on draught in certain public houses in the area.
Please feel free to comment, and if you see the bottle or the pump clip out in the real world let me know and feel free to send me a pic so I can put it on this blog with a hearty thanks!

Symitry IT leaflet and poster advert design

I have recently finished a few designs for Symitry IT based in Market Harborough.
They provide IT services to many businesses across the UK. They also have a great retail store at 34/38, The Square in Market Harborough.
A design was required to promote their business to business service on one side of the three fold leaflet and the retail store on the reverse. A poster was also needed using a very similar design to the leaflet.
I tried to use the idea of 'symmetry' within the general design and mainly based the colour scheme around the companies corporate colours.
Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think!

Red Rabbit Rooter Character Design

I thought I would change things a little on this blog, and hopefully add some extra interesting content. In the past I have only put an image of the final artwork on my blog. But from now on I am going to add the earlier stages of a project too.
These extra bits of artwork could be sketches and vector development work, as well as various colour choices, shading and highlights and the adding of little details etc.
I'm hoping these extra bits of info will help paint a clear picture of how a project develops from the initial idea right through the various stages of design until the final vector artwork is created.
This first project is a character design for Red Rabbit Rooter, which is a drainage/sewer company from Pennsylvania in the USA.

Brief
: A character needed to be created based on the Red Rabbit theme. He needed to be a positive happy face for the company and show quickness and speed, he also needed to be carrying a plunger to symbolise the sewer business.

Vanilla Recruitment Open Day Poster

Vanilla Recruitment in Market Harborough needed a poster to advertise their open day.
