Eilidh's Daily Design



So I was reading this article from the AWESOME Smashing Magazine on the merits of designing something daily, and I'm thinking of taking them up on the challenge, starting in the New Year. I reckon I need a theme to focus on so I'm thinking maybe I do a typographic layout every day based on song lyrics (whatever I've had stuck in my head-jukebox that day). Whaddayareckon? Who wants to start a sweepstake on how long before I get bored/drunk/forget to do it? I've posted a nice example of what I might do, if I have absolutely NOTHING else to do next year. I'll need to restrict myself to half an hour or I may not sleep.

More Retro Christmas nonsense






Another quickie invitation, this time for my own agency. It meant I knew where we were going before anyone else though, which allowed for vital wardrobe preparation. Invite took the form of lengthwise, third A3 z-fold, but I've presented individual frames here so y'all can see them. Big feature numerals spelt out the times on the itinerary for the hard-of-timekeeping, whilst also acting as holding devices for the details of the evening. And jolly good fun it was too. :)

Christmas Cocktails


A nice wee brief for a mate who is having a tarribly sophisticated cocktail party at her tarribly swish flat shortly after christmas. She said: E, do me an invite make it look cool and retro. I said: OK.
