Flying solo - 1st month
Its been a really exciting first month for me. Its been a success. I’ve reached my targets and then some. If anything I’m too busy. I had my eye on doing some of my own projects whilst It was quiet but I’ve just not had the chance. Thats a good thing though.
I’ve also learnt a lot. I’ve been into 4 different agencies and its been a really insight into how things work (and don’t work). Its also opened my eyes to want I want to do with my future and what kind of freelancer I want to be. I’ve noticed that the market is screaming for front-enders that do great HTML and CSS so if thats your bag then maybe you should think about jumping into the world of self-employment.
I’m really pleased about how things are going and know that i made the right choice to go solo. If you want to work with me send me an message though my contact form. Also I’ll be sending my second newsletter out next week so If you want to receive that signup to my newsletter list below..

Creative Review Cards
Getting all Blue Peter on you today. Future of Web Design London is approaching fast, I’ve not got round to creating business cards for Bliss. With this in mind I’ve had to be creative to handcraft my own. Now, these are not to be taking too seriously. Its just a bit of fun. I’ve cut up a cover of an old Creative Review magazine and used to some labels for the other side. All I need now is a rubber band to keep my cards all nice and neat.
If your at FOWD next week come and grab a card off me. I’ll hand them out randomly, if you get one of the two Creative Review logo cards I’ll buy you a nice lovely beer!

New launch - RRG Celebrity plates
I’ve been working on this for the past few weeks now. Its a campaign for the RRG Group and the launch of the new number plates in the UK.
You will notice that its all done in Jquery and CSS3 magic. So go play the game and win £500 off a new car.

Little bit of Creative
Every now and again we get invited to pitch for projects with no real brief. The Brief is open. Anyway I came up with this concept and chucked this together in about 60 mins. Obviously as its a pitch we don’t want to spend any more time on this. Its a good creative exercise though, communicating your ideas visually in a short space of time. Its rather refreshing.
