Food Passion Printed Guide

Posted on March 30th, 2009 in Design Portfolio | No Comments »

Food Passion Header

Food Passion is a eating out and food shopping guide for Swansea and the surrounding areas (Gower, Mumbles, Llanelli).

It exists in web and printed form, and I’ve recently finished the graphic design for 2009’s edition. Its the second time I’ve designed the printed guide, which usually takes the form of a 48 page booklet.

I recommend picking one up, they’re very useful and an interesting read, plus this year they have vouchers in the back which can be exchanged for discounts and free gifts at various restaurants around Swansea. Look out for them across the city.

Elgoodo Gig Poster Design

Posted on November 17th, 2008 in Design Portfolio | No Comments »

This poster/flyer was created for Swansea based promoters Straydog Music to advertise their upcoming music event. It was designed to work well when printed out at A6, A4 or A3 and to stand out in the busy shop windows and poster spots.

The gig takes place on Friday 28th November at Milkwood Jam, a live music venue based in Swansea City Centre. Milkwood Jam has been open a year this month, so happy birthday to them!

A5 Credit Crunch Flyer

These days, you’re not a real business unless you’re talking about the credit crunch. So I dug up this design from The Colour Mill vaults.

It was created for Cardiff based financial advisor Neil Soundy Financial Services. The graphic design was based on the logo that I had created for the client a few months earlier.

Ice Cream Social - Vinyl Banner Design

Photo of Ice Cream Social BannerThe characters from the illustration are taken from the various flyers that I’ve designed for the night over the past year, the final effect should make it seem like the DJs are “sitting in the ice cream van”.  Check back for a photo soon…

As promised, heres a photo of the banner in action:

Design of the Food Passion Brochure

Posted on May 12th, 2008 in Design Portfolio | No Comments »

The Food Passion Brochure was one of my last design projects at Web Media Works (now renamed Square Tab).

After successfully designing the Food Passion website, we were awarded the contract to design the printed version for the Swansea food guide’s third year.

It involved designing the cover, restaurant listings, adverts, editorial and other custom page layouts and graphics. With a strict schedule and established image to stick to to, the project was intense and rewarding.

If you’re from (or visiting) Swansea why not check out the Food Passion website and blog.
