I’ve joined Pinterest!

My "Cool Typography" Pinterest board

Last week I received my invite to Pinterest and i’ve been pinning ever since. I have 4 boards at the moment – “Cool Typography“, “Surface Patter Design“, “Website Design Inspiration” and “VW Vans“. Click on the links and have a peek!

It’s great for finding inspiration as you can pin things in groups and peruse them all at once. I’m pinning on a daily basis and finding loads of cool things to post!

Here are a few images from my boards.

Top Left Design’s January Newsletter – Make Do And Mend!

Top Left Design’s January Newsletter – Make Do And Mend!

Yesterday Top Left Design sent out their January newsletter (just in time!).

The theme was “Make Do And Mend” and I created the illustrate for the banner this month! I wanted to show the idea of mending something that was old or broken, so the iPad was a perfect choice.

The newsletter talks about “8 free, or almost free ways to improve your presence online”. This could be anything from updating your vanity URL on LinkedIn to going through your website and making a “snagging list” of changes you’d love see.

You can read Top Left Design’s January newsletter here for more tips.

Here’s a close up of the full illustration I created.

I also designed the footer for the newsletter too.

The team also wrote a blog post about their newsletter too.

Keren Lerner’s “Owls” collection on Pinterest

Pinterest - Owls collection by Keren Lerner

Recently, I’ve been introduced to the wonderful world on Pinterest, and I LOVE it! It’s like having your very own vitual pin board full of all the things that inspire you. I registered for my own account today, and I have a few ideas as to what I’m going to be pinning up.

Keren Lerner at Top Left Design has been very busy creating her own inspiration boards. I love her Owl collection, and thought I would make a perfect blog post after my recent “Owly” illustration.

Keren has also written a very interesting post about Pinterest, and it’s well worth a read!

Here are a few images from her board.

Hope you like it…
