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.

Hope you like it…

Top Left Design's December Facebook banner illustration

As well as illustrating Top Left Design’s newsletter I also quickly knocked up this Facebook banner too using the same theme. It was quite hard to get 9 sledgers into that shape so I was chuffed to fit them all in!

Check out the illustration here and find out what Top Left Design have been getting up to.

A Christmas card design by yours truly

This year I decided to explore the theme of  ”The 12 Days of Christmas”. Before I even started on this series of blog posts I had designed my 2011 Christmas cards inspired by the rhyme.

Here are the 3 small illustrations that make up the final card. I especially liked the idea of illustrating the birds including the partridge in a pair tree, 2 turtle doves and 3 French hens.

Hope you like them!
