Undiscovered design work I did to try and get job...
Alas, I didn't get the job, neither did I hear from the company (even after spending a whole evening designing these), just thought I'd show them on here because I kinda like them.
And I did the obligatory "what it would look like if it was being use for real" malarky.

I don't know whether it's just me but....
...did Comic Relief copy my typographic stylee? minus the giant red dot.
Well, I'm sure they didn't (obviously they didn't), but at least I know I must be doing something right :D good times.
NB. I am not accusing the BBC or any of its affiliates of copying me or my work. LOL.

While I'm updating new design work...
While I was at LapSafe Products, I helped complete a whole new redesign of the companies logo and brand image. After a few ideas were developed, we showed them to the MD's to look through, and after a lot of fine tuning and editing, the new logo was decided, and launched after Christmas.
'The LapSafe® logo refects how its products are mobile. The idea of the circular design creates the look of motion, movement and revolution. This movement suggests progression, that the company is always moving forward, and the revolution suggests that the company is innovative with its products. Combining the circular shapes in different positions made it look fresh and modern, the positions make it look continuous, and shows that LapSafe® is a strong brand that is reliable.
The font is strong, and compliments the logo in a fresh way. The colours both differentiate the words and make the overall design more visually interesting, as well as emphasising the word ‘safe’ in bold. The unique ‘a’ style is modern, and refreshes the whole logo name, complimenting the circlular style throughout.
Using the different shades of colours on the circle, it creates the idea of depth, layers and perspective, that the company is at the center because it is the brand leader. Product development is at the core of the LapSafe® brand, and as LapSafe® was the original creator of the laptop security trolley idea, it seems fitting to produce a logo that reflects this creativity.'
The new logo is being used for all new product literature, business cards, letter heads etc, as well as for their exhibition that has just taken place in Olympia, London.

My new skills in Dreamweaver
So before Christmas, I signed myself up to a Dreamweaver for beginners course because my web design skills seriously were lacking, and all of the jobs I seemed to be finding wanted experience or a little bit of knowledge of website design/updating. So I did the first 6 weeks before Christmas learning some basics of Dreamweaver (albeit learning VERY SLOWLY because of the amount of old people who kept asking questions and didn't really know how to use a computer - the first lesson, which was a whole two hours, was spent on file management... aka moving a file to another folder). I got the jist of it (I only really wanted to know the very basics of where to start, and from there I've been able to play around with everything myself), I have created a website for a sheet metal company based in Great Tey. So this is the website, it's still very basic, doesn't use any of the real photos, and has very little text (as I haven't got it all yet), but it shows the basic frame of the website, which i'm quite proud of. My next challenge is redesigning my own website, and then I've got a couple more websites to design after that, so I'll be keeping myself busy!
