I asked Catherine if she liked the notes I’d been leaving for her all week (scattered about the house, telling her things I love about her). Of course she did, and she asked me if there’d be any more. I said, “Actually, there’s one here”, pulling another from my inside pocket.
I’m already cringing, but I’ve been talking about it for so long, I had to bite the bullet. Here’s my first video blog post, and it’s a small way to say thanks for all your visits and comments.
Following the advances of US publisher, Peachpit Press, I’ve been officially offered a deal to author their first book about logo design. Terms are agreed, and a contract is being prepared signed.
From time-to-time some of my readers ask about where I live, and what my office-space is like. Here’s a brief glimpse for you.
I’ve been asked to author Peachpit Press’s first logo design book.
We’re discussing possible topics, and the aim is to publish a book that’s different from any other in the logo design market. I thought it’d be a good idea to involve you.
You’ve helped make 2008 a fantastic year. Without your visits, comments, encouragement and constructive criticism I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thank you.
I hope you’ve had an equally great year, and if there’s anything you think I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask.

A few weeks ago, and after nine years living in Edinburgh, Scotland, I moved home, and now live just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland. Here’s a little insight as to why, and reassurance to my clients among you that it’s business as usual.
Here I answer another round of your questions, focusing on my decision to specialise in logo design, what to name your freelance design studio, and career advice for recent graphic design graduates.
Questions answered in this post include: Do you still figure out your prices approximately by the hour? If graphic design wasn’t your career, what do you think you would have been doing? Aside from word of mouth, what would you say is the best way to find new work when starting out alone?
