Creative Mondays 25 – Time

“What is Creative Mondays?

Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.

So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

Sometimes inspiration can come from the strangest of places. Just today someone I knew sadly passed away. There’s often a moment of reflection and everything gets put into perspective. We’ve only got so much time so let’s make the most of it.

I found this amazing image that I used for the background of this piece. You can find it here.

The 18th in the series of Creative Mondays brings you some good ‘ol sunshine! It’s been such a sunny awesome weekend that I couldn’t resist posting something about that gorgeous Sol! For most of us in the UK seeing the sun is something to be believed! Let’s hope it sticks around for a while and gives us all a much needed energy boost!

So here we are at week 16 and I’ve taken the opportunity for this Creative Monday to show off my latest business card design. This was my first crack at designing a card for my new(ish) brand identity and I quite like the way the swirl is incorporated into the piece. I also wanted to make sure to include the “American citizen, born in Iceland…” blurb as I find it’s always a nice ice-breaker when meeting new people!

So I guess this week I wanted to mess with your eyes because this was the crazy thing that came out of my brain. Looking at a few Saul Bass posters I just wanted to break something down into basic shapes and I love the font ‘Hurry Up’ that I used. Don’t stare too long… it might just pull you in!
