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!
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!

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.

Now that we’re settled in at the new Top Left Design office, it was time to add some finishing touches to the space. My “TLD Towers” illustration was hung, along with some other cool pieces of art work on Friday.
As well hanging pictures, Tamlyn produced this great vinyl illustration that has been placed on our curved wall at the back of the office. Take a look at it below.
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.
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.

My 12 Days of Christmas posts were blogged about on Top Left Design’s site over December. You can read the full post here.
Thanks Top Left Design!
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.
This December Top Left Design asked me to illustrate the banner of their Christmas newsletter. I decided to recycle this illustration I did last year with a few new additions (JP, Kevin, Nichaela and Susan).

Here’s a close up of the full illustration.
