Please check out the new photo’s and designs that I have added to the Zen Design facebook www.facebook.com/zengraphic.

The photos of the girl in the hat are from when I was at the Metropolitan College in Glasgow when I was just starting out. I had a lot of fun taking these photo’s and learning my way about the camera so the photo’s bring back a lot of good memories. I thought I would share them with you. The model is Lynn Wilson (Thanks Lynn).

This is really cool.

As I have mentioned before, this year I became a volunteer graphic designer for the Ian Somerhalder Foundation. This has been so inspiring and has really gave me the means to stand up for something that I believe in as well as talk to and get to know some amazing people who are trully the back bone of ISF. I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all of them. I love you guys.

You can now see the full team and read their bio’s (as well as mine) right here isfoundation.com/team.

Today is the foundations first birthday. I can’t believe it’s been a year already!!! The foundation has accomplished so much. It also shares a birthday with our amazing founder Ian Somerhalder who is 33 today YAY!!! His birthday wish is for everyone to make a donation to the IS Founation. If you want to help and make his wish come true please visit www.isfoundation.com and check out Ian’s birthday wish.

Thanks everyone

It’s a long time coming but I finally set up a facebook site for Zen Design.

This is an easy way for me to interact with people. Answer questions quickly as well as making it easier for people to view new designs and see what is going on.

Hopefully this will also give an insight to the design behind the designs as well as help me get to know the clients which will hopefully be a big help in providing the best solutions to designs.

There is a link at the side of this site. Please click like to show your support or click to view the site.

Hi everyone,

How is everyone? Just a wee blog to ask you all a question.

I’m thinking of doing some designs and opening a cafe press store. What kind of designs would you like to see on products such as T-shirts, bags, zippers, mugs, bottles and lots more?

I’m just trying to get an idea of what is popular and what people would buy?

If you can send me an email or comment that would be a big help.

Thanks

Kirsty

I’ve just uploaded some new images to flickr.

A few of them are from my college years when I was first building my portfolio and also doing a bit of gig organisation and promotion in my spare time.

I have learned a lot since then, especially after working at a printers. Learning how to set up artwork for print has been a great help and I feel that the knowledge that I have gained from this will be a huge benefit when thinking about how to tackle future designs that will be sent to print.

It has also taught me a lot about how well things will print, which formats work, what paper prints better, how colours will look when printed as well as learning about different print techniques such as Spot UV.  To have that chance to work on the side of the printer as well as the design has been a huge eye opener.

Looking at my past designs from college I can see how they have influenced me but also how much I have changed since then. Now when I look at them I can see ways that I would improve them but they also bring me back to the creativeness that I had in my mind when I first started.

Maybe I’ll look back in another few years and see all the things that I have learnt.

For now I have uploaded a few of my older designs which I like and hope that you will like to.

Kirsty
