LOGOS FOR INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES
I began freelancing alongside my part-time café job after graduation. During this year I took on multiple commissions. Two of them designing a logo for a small independent business.
Opposite: the first logo I designed and illustrated for a new small beauty company named The Lavender Room.
I used my usual form of illustration of pen for this, with further digital refinement
Opposite: is an ongoing project designing and illustrating the logo and branding for a new small independent company named Swansea Timber & Damp Surveys.
I am currently in the process of mocking up a variety of logo options for them, which I will then refine and decide which is most complimentary of their company and website.
I am enjoying this more directed and structured form of illustration, as well as the free illustration projects I do for fun. It gives me variety, and broadens my illustration skills.
Additionally it gives me the opportunity to improve my digital skills, as I consider myself as predominantly a traditional artist/ illustrator.
