Online Kids Therapy - Logo Design (work experience)











I received a phone call regarding some logo design work for a website last week. I had been speaking to a family friend during the summer, who luckily does web design and he has offered me some work/experience.

The logo is for an online kids therapy website that offers parents and their children who would usually struggle getting to a hospital (for example) for therapy the opportunity of one to one sessions via Skype (webcam) in the comfort of their own home.

The website has been up and running for a few weeks, but was in need of a logo. I communicated with Craig Gregory (web designer), and the client via email and telephone to understand what is wanted in the logo and the style.

The client was looking for an cartoon type animation in the style of existing images on the website (bought from iStockPhoto). The child is doing a star jump on a trampoline (above); this represents the therapy the client offers through her website. The image above shows some of the adjustments I have been making. The boy on the left was too gangly and the client wasn't happy with the green t-shirt. I decreased the limbs, changed the t-shirt colour and added a star.

White Chapel Gallery - Elizabeth Peyton













































Nearing the end of the summer, has been a good one!
Spotted an advertisement for an Elizabeth Peyton Exhibition in London a week or so ago and could definitely not miss the opportunity! After studying her in my final year at school, and adopting her style for my final piece, I've found a great appreciation for her work.

Peyton's exhibition is titled "Live Forever", after an Oasis song from the nineties. The inspiration was clearly taken from her time spend painting Liam Gallager.

There are some good press links and interviews below...
