These double sided business cards were designed for Ballyhoo Commerce, a design company based in Birmingham who specialise in web development and ecommerce.
The design was printed with a spot varnish (also known as spot uv printing or spot lamination). It adds an extra layer of shiny varnish to specified parts of the design, and is used here to highlight the logo and bubbles on the front.
If you want your business card to stand out, this is a good option.

I recently completed an internship programme at Swansea Print Workshop, a not for profit company in Swansea that is run by volunteers and a few members of staff. Professional artists, amateurs and school children are invited there for fine art printmaking courses (such as Collograph, Cyanotype and Linocut) and open access to the facilities.
My time there was spent learning about traditional printing techniques such as Photo Screenprint and arts administration training in Marketing, Publicity and Image Library Organisation.

The Swansea Local Health Board commissioned me to produce a graphic design for their Health and Well Being Strategy 2008 to 2011.
The 200 page A4 document covers issues that effect the health of the population in Swansea and was translated into English and Welsh. The content was provided to The Colour Mill and I was required to present the information in a more efficient, accessible and attractive manner. Look out for copies at local surgeries, opticians and hospitals etc.
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!
This Roll Fold (also knowns as Barrel Fold or Tri-Fold) brochure was designed for a local manufacturer to be used as a datasheet for one of their products.
This printing method is great when you need to pack loads of info (6 pages worth) into a small space (folds down to A4)!
