Today, at work, we received a delivery of “Owly” Oyster card holders designed by Aric, the newest member of the TLD team! I had to blog about them as I love the illustrations and the look and feel of the card holders.
Have a gander at the finished articles below, twit twoo!
Yesterday I spotted some rather nice packaging by design agency B&B. B&B are the creatives behind all things “Bear“. As well as helping them with packaging concepts, they also worked on the logo design, stationery and their website (which I find quite fun!).
I spotted these colourful nibbles while out doing the weekly “big shop” with the BF, and took a few sneaky pictures for this blog post.
Bear are dedicated to “making being healthy easy”. They produce a variety of snakes from fruit packs, granola, and fruit yo yo’s, which are rolled up fruit strips!
Bear is the brain child of personal trainer Hayley. She came up with the idea after hearing lots of people complaining about their diets and exercise patterns. If you check out the site, there is an interesting bit about how she came up with the name for Bear.
I really love the whole branding! I think the use of illustration works well and has a fresh feel to it. The packaging is also recycled, so you get a lovely feel/texture when you hold them in your hand. The brand also plays on humour too, from the leaf which covers the bears bits to the funny creatures that dance around the site. Overall it makes me want to pick their products up and try a bit of their grrrrrrrrrrrrrrub!
Another fantastic Top Left Design newsletter was sent out this week!
As you may have seen, (from previous posts) each newsleter has its very own theme we like to explore. Last month it was “The time has come” the Walrus said… and this time we chose “Are you heading for extinction?” as our main topic.
As we’re all visual in the team, a lot of the time, the illustration ideas comes to us before we’ve even thought about the topics we’ll cover! Dinosaurs were at the top of Keren’s list and Tamlyn was asked to illustrate 2 new characters for the newsletter banner.
Michael also wrote a blog to accompany it, which you can read here.
Below are a few close-ups of the illustration Tamlyn did. I love it!

Here’s a new illustration I have been working on over the past few weeks. It’s inspired by the Beatle’s song “We all live in a yellow submarine” which has been stuck in my head for weeks. I decided it was time to do something with it, so I produced this!
Happy St Patrick’s day people! Here’s a little recycled illustration from last year! I designed it for Top Left Design and thought I should pop it up again as its rather topical!
This week, we sent out our March newsletter at Top Left Design. The theme was all about time, and we used “The time has come the Walrus said…” as inspiration for the illustrated banner and newsletter content.
This month Tamlyn, illustrated the newsletter.
As well as being a talented designer, she’s also a dab hand drawing Walruses, she found out! I love her characterisation and the 3d feel to this piece.
Tamlyn also mentioned that she had been inspired by my work, which is always nice to hear!
Have a gander at her work below.

Here’s a new tea related illustration I thought up today! It’s kind of based around the words “tea cosy” which inspired me to illustrate a cup of tea tucked up in bed with a few biscuits thrown in for good measure!
It’s quite a cosy scene, and I wanted to use pastel shades with the main colours coming from the tea and biscuits. I couldn’t miss the chance to illustrate a few of my favourite dunk-able treats. Here we have the Bourbon, Digestive and Custard Cream in all their glory.
This weekend I signed up to Dribbble. Dribbble is a website where creatives can show and tell people about their work. The site invites “players” to upload snippets of their designs, illustrations, logos etc and share them with the Dribbble community. Other designers can then comment on the work and provide feedback.
Dribbble is full of references to basket ball from “shots” (the snippets players upload), “players” (the people who are uploading content) and “spectators” (people who can’t upload content but can comment on peoples shots). For more info about how Dribbble works, visit their website.
You can now find me on the site too, and here are a couple of pieces I have uploaded so far.
Have a look around the site and check out some of the amazing creatives on there.
Today, I sat down and did this little illustration inspired by a good cuppa tea! The weather has been great this weekend and it made me all warm inside (like a good brew should!). Hope you like it!
