It has been a long time since I last posted on this page and over the last 2 years I have been busy, and have not been able to dedicate any time to graphic design work or even my photography which I have missed greatly.
I am delighted to share with you all my latest news. I'm now 36.5 weeks pregnant and officially on maternity leave. I am still doing a few jobs to keep me busy until our little girl arrives. Over the next year, between feeding and nappy changes, I am hoping to pick up where I left of with my design work.
If you would like any adverts or logos done please do get in touch and I will fit you in.
Here is a little advert I did (English and Polish) to celebrate the announcement of our upcoming arrival:
You may recognise this logo that was for sale recently:
We were contacted by Tatkresiwok Alaskan Malamutes, who saw the logo and gave me the following brief:
"Our kennel name is "Tatkresiwok" which means full moon in Inuit. It is to go on our van which will be wrapped in forest green. Could you change the grey area behind the malamute to a full moon, and rotate the dog so he is in more of a howling pose and change the dogs eye colour to brown."
Here is what we came up with, offering both a blue version and the grey version to contrast the forest green of the van, Jill and her husband picked the blue design:
"We asked Sammy Taylor if she could create an Affix decal for our van. We saw on her website an excellent one. So we asked if we could buy it and change a few things. This is the result and we are VERY happy with what she has done. Thank you Sammy"
An Alaskan Malamute logo, will suit malamute kennels, or dog businesses.
Available for sale and available to make changes to suit your requirements.

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Hayley and Jason on their first home-bred champion, Nebbie.
Whilst in Scotland, showing my own dogs, i captured some photos of Hayley and Nebbie after they gained their final Challenge Certificate required to become a UK Champion. Hayley then asked me to create an advert for her.
The design idea came together using inspiration from the daisies they had their photo taken in, it was like a carpet of them! I then added the stars and nebular in the background as a nod to Nebbie's mother, Rumor, adding stars, sparkles and bubbles to celebrate this dream come true moment.
We couldn't be prouder of Nebbie, and I'm sure her mother is looking down with pride on what this girl has achieved.
We have recently completed a very exciting project for Infury Sled Dogs. our client (and good friend) contacted us with an idea he had. We have a phone conversation and ran through some ideas.
Challenges of the project was the sheer scale of the work being completed. The design is to be printed on a long wheel based van, both side panels and the rear doors are to be printed. This involves designing the decals to fit within certain panels on the van, especially on the passenger side where there is a sliding side door and a window in the side door. It also means that part of the design could be covered when the van door is open. To avoid this, the design on the passenger side is smaller than that on the driver side. This also means at dog events, the passenger side will be parked facing away from the general public, and the larger, more impressive side will be viewed by passers by.
Other challenges were designing the dogs, especially the white Canadian Eskimo Dogs to stand out on a white van. Placing these at the rear as "Wheel Dogs" means that they will be against the main background of the image and easier to see.
We are delighted that Matt is very happy with the design and the likeness to his dogs and their personalities have been captured. We can't wait to see the design finished and printed, but as we can't wait to show everyone, here are the mock-ups of the design.
The client had lost the original files to their logo and were looking for a simple re-drawing of it. We used those opportunity to add a little detail, whilst the logo can still be embroidered with no detail on it, the extra contouring on the dogs could be used for any other stationary. The guidelines set out were the dog type and their layout was to remain the same and the colours used.

We hope you have all had a nice relaxing bank holiday weekend. We have spent most of ours busying away at the computer.
Our latest advert design is for Seren, owned by Kerry, Martyn and Charlie. Charlie contacted us after Seren won Reserve Best Bitch at "LASER" wanting an advert to celebrate the best of Seren's wins.
Charlie is a huge Iron Man fan so we just had to create her a poster that incorporates her love for all things Iron Man and of course, show off all things Seren.
We did two versions of the advert, Charlie preferred the BLUE, but here are both designs we did.
