I really really want to win a pair of Converses...

because my old trustworthys are ...well....old and too trustworthy. Nothing like breaking in a new pair of Converses.....and I'm itching to deconstruct a pair!!!

So, the fabulous Kim Gray and Converse are giving away a pair of Blondie or Clash Converse sneakers - both so totally cool!!! And to enter I needed to blog about it.

See the awesomeness, but don't you dare enter (coz I can't stand any more competition) here..... http://www.kimgray.co.za/2010/04/12/last-chance-to-win-converse/

Cape Town Recruitment

A new logo and business card for Cape Town Recruitment. One of the members used to fly Red Arrows and the team was really inspired by the idea of aerobatics. Bearing this in mind, I created a logo that was inspired by the smoke trails of these aerobatic jets and their formations.

The logo on a white background and dark blue background:

Something to be proud of!!!


I'm so stoked. Can't get over being in the top 5 when searching for 'freelance designer cape town' or 'freelance design cape town' or better yet 'freelance graphic design' and specify South Africa!!

Whoo hooo

This got me thinking about the way I do what I do...

...and since reading it a little idea has been revolving in the back of my head. How to earn revenue whilst I sleep like a baby. The first thought was to sell themes that can be edited by the client....but that goes against every designer instinct to create unique and tailored designs for the client. So how to create that revenue without having to do very much....which is what lead to the swirling thought that's still trying to clarify itself....creating websites that a paid for on an ongoing monthly basis rather than one singular lump sum....

I'll get back to this once the mist clears...
