Blackpool Logo Design

Coming from a family whose father was a Graphic Designer and mother an Illustrator, I have always had a love of design, but when I left school I went straight into the print trade as a general ‘dogs body’ I found my niche in doing artwork ‘Paste up’ and being called upon to colour match ink by eye. This eventually led to logo and brochure design. Unfortunately, because the print trade went the way of many industries and I soon found myself looking for another career.

I became interested in computers, which led to me becoming a qualified programmer, but this didn’t really satisfy my creative side.

Then in 1999 I created my first multi-page website and I found myself having more and more fun. Eventually I starting to make a little pocket money from it.

In the early 2000’s desktop publishing software was being rolled out, programs like Microsoft Publisher and Corel Draw held the promise of cheap church flyers and birthday cards for everyone, however, they were clunky and restricted and much was designed using templates so I didn’t really pay them much attention.

It wasn’t till much later when Adobe had finally streamlined programs like Illustrator, that online design really had any interest for me. Most importantly, I slowly found myself getting to grips with designing Artwork and Logos on the computer. Since then I haven’t looked back and in starting my own business in Blackpool and I find enjoyment in designing again.
