Proposed Redesign
This was a proposed redesign of a construction company, a joint project that the client never got to see. It seems most of my work has been the development of corporate identities, in 2008 I’m aiming to try other things. More creative and experimental work with some motion graphics.

Shoote logo design
I was going through my backup files and I came across this logo I designed. It was for a photography studio in Johannesburg. I checked out their new website (http://www.shoote.co.za), and I’m glad they are stilling using the logo. I would love to see how they have applied the logo on other applications. I think its a good design and love the thinking/concept behind it.
