“It was a delight working with Amy. She was quick to grasp the concept of what we were trying to achieve with our membership and easily translated our ‘sketch on the back of an envelope’ into a strong, impactful logo. I have a few more projects up my sleeve and will certainly be using her services again (and again)! Highly recommended.”

Afro Celt Sound System Album Design

acss_selection2

‘The Source’ album vinyl and CD designs featuring original artwork by legendary artist Jamie Reid

Afro Celt Sound System celebrate their 20th anniversary with a stunning new album, ‘The Source’. As its title suggests ‘The Source’ summons the original Afro Celt energy, while simultaneously yielding fresh and creative inspiration.

‘The Source’ brings together core members Simon Emmerson, Guinean vocalist, kora and balafon virtuoso N’Faly Kouyate and charismatic dhol master Johnny Kalsi, along with long-standing collaborators such as Davy Spillane and Emer Mayock on uillean pipes and whistles, Moussa Sissoko on djembe and talking drum, and members of Scottish folk fusion Shooglenifty (who contributed to the very first Afro Celt album).

Album designs for The Source feature original artwork by legendary English artist Jamie Reid. The design process involved collaborating with Jamie and members of the band to create a design that reflects the eclectic and celebratory music produced by Afro Celt Sound System.

The Source was recorded at various locations across Europe, including Spillane’s own studio by the Cliffs of Moher, an experience which Emmerson jokingly likens to a Game Of Thrones quest (“Go and seek out the wise man on the remote cliffs”). He credits the adept mixing skills of David Bottrill and Mass for their “alchemical art” in bringing the album’s varied elements and spontaneous twists together.

Afro Celt Sound System are currently touring the UK.

The Barista Bike Logo Design

 

The_Barista_Bike_logo

The Barista Bike started trading in 2015 and instantly received positive comments about its unique appearance but more importantly, how good the coffee tasted. Founder, Ian Redman has sourced all of the products locally, with coffee beans supplied by Winchester Coffee Roasters and a range of award winning teas are provided by Dorset Tea, including herbal options. Gluten free cakes and cookies are also available to compliment your favourite blend or brew from North Dorset based Honeybuns Bakery.

Ian approached me looking for a new logo design for his mobile coffee tricycle business. He was looking for a clean design that also reflected the traditional style of the tricycle, in a limited colour palette.

The Barista Bike offers quality coffee and a selection of Dorset Teas

 

Ian describes the journey in his own words: “I was looking to start a small catering business but the cost of renting premises in a suitable location was too high for me at the time. A few years ago I attended a home barista course at Winchester Coffee Roasters and experienced the best cappuccino I had ever had.  There are lots of coffee shops and cafes in the UK but it is only on a rare occasion that you can buy a coffee that is memorable. After some research I realised that there was the opportunity to start a small mobile coffee business.

The coffee tricycle is built on a Dutch cargo trike. It is fully self-sufficient and silent in operation with an on-board water tank, gas and electricity. The Barista Bike sells “speciality coffee” which means great quality. Care is taken at each stage of the process from the coffee bean farmer to the barista who makes the cup of coffee. 

The logo that Amy designed epitomises the quality and professional image The Barista Bike aims to achieve. The logo is instantly recognisable and helps distinguish The Barista Bike from other mobile coffee traders. The logo has proved to be very flexible, with the colours reversed it looks stylish on a black background and professional on a business card.

The word barista is Italian for “bartender” and The Barista Bike can serve traditional, fruit and herbal teas, hot chocolate, milkshakes and uses dairy, soya and coconut milk.  Decaf coffee and tea are also available. Describe how you like your coffee and The Barista Bike will make it from flat white, latte, cappuccino, mocha, macchiato, an americano with an ice cube or iced coffee. The list is endless!

I went through a number of design examples I liked and disliked with Amy at the start of the design process. Amy listened, discussed what I wanted and designed a very professional looking logo that is instantly recognisable.  After one year, I am extremely happy with the design and would not change a thing. Amy has designed a logo that looks so professional, a number of people have even asked if The Barista Bike is a franchise.”

Schweeet Logo & Packaging Design

Schweet-Product

Schweeet Logo & Packaging Design

I was approached by Daniel, founder of Schweeet, to create a logo design and packaging for his new product. Daniel had been working on ideas for a sugar alternative for some time and came to me with the concept and a brief for a simple and clean logo design and branding solution that could be used throughout the product packaging, website and social media.

Daniel describes his journey… As I was going down the fitness and nutrition journey, I decided to give up sugar (amongst other things). I soon realised that the best way for my body to lose weight was to maintain nutritional ketosis. During this process I found that I would still occasionally crave sweet foods, including adding sugar to my coffee or food. Ideally I was looking for the taste of sugar but without the negative side effects. I found that most of the sweeteners on the market either didn’t taste like sugar or had an aftertaste. In some cases solid sweeteners have Maltdextrin or Dextrose added to them as bulking agents, which are alternative forms of sugar which still have negative effects.

I soon found that sugar and all sweeteners would raise blood sugar levels (and lower ketones) so I spent a few years researching before Schweeet was finally born. Schweeet is the only sweetener on the market that does not affect blood sugar and blood ketone levels, with zero calories and zero carbohydrates. Schweeet is ideal for diabetics and anyone looking to maintain ketosis (for medical purposes) or fitness fantatics. Schweeet tastes exactly like sugar but without any of the negative side effects or aftertaste of sweeteners. Deemed safe by the NHS your body cannot use the main ingredient, sucralose in any way, therefore it will flush this out of your system.

I soon found that Schweeet could be used to help others and I started letting friends and family try Schweeet to replace sugar with incredible results. Suddenly I realised that I could help others to avoid sugar and live healthier lives without going without the taste of sugar in their food and drinks.
