La Dolce Vita

Tuesday, 17 February 2015

Spending my birthday in Rome this year will certainly be the sweet life. Having only been to Italy once (Florence which was bloody awesome!) I can't wait to see what Rome has to offer. Watch this space for photos and my homecoming thoughts.

Sunday Suppers

Tuesday, 17 February 2015

I have a bit of thing for cooking and cookbooks in general, to be honest I'm a sucker for any that use foil or alternative binding methods (thank you Polpo!) so here's another one to add to my growing collection - Sunday Suppers. What caught my eye in particular was the great food styling and photography.

Created by a lady called Karen Mordechai, who is a photographer and food stylist, she started a blog which focused on hosting communal cooking dinners in her apartment with each dinner taught by a guest chef using sourced local and seasonal ingredients. The blog was started for photos and recipes from the dinners and a way of sharing the essence of communal dining. The concept however centres on simplicity, a love of food and stunning imagery.

Luckily for us we can enjoy the simplicity by recreating these beautiful recipes at home, well at least try ;0) Follow Sunday Supper here for more awesomeness!

Flashback - HG Design Files

Monday, 9 February 2015

This is a flashback of some of my work from a couple of years ago.

I designed a information pack for the Crossrail Art Programme, which is a transport development currently going on in London. The stations will feature public art for which a sponsorship programme was set up in order to raise cash. I was asked to develop this sub brand producing a mini pack that would introduce the programme to potential sponsors.

The design focused on using hand painted typography, bright colour balanced with crisp photography.

Below are some of the brochure spreads created.

The Gentlewoman

Monday, 9 February 2015

The editorial design direction of The Gentlewoman is flipping rocking! This is a woman's magazine with great articles about great ladies and not a whiff of the usual rammed-down-your-throat trash that we so often see in other fashion mags. Great writing, great photography and great styling. Love it!

John Clappison Hornsea Ceramics

Monday, 9 February 2015

For a long time I have been a little bit in love with the graphic patterns on John Clappison's Hornsea range. Retro in style and colour they are beautifully crafted. I love this little owl and recently discovered these original illustrations via Present & Correct's website.
