The Joy of Books.

2012 colours

Just finished redesigning this fridge magnet for Leeds Postcards. The pallet was teal, brown purple mustard and burnt umber. This words are an old Chekov quote  - any idiot can face a crisis it is this day to day living that wears you out. By using the colour pallet it brings the design bang up to date. You can buy the fridge magnet here http://www.leedspostcards.co.uk/products/246-day-to-day-fridge-magnet.aspx

Just finished designing a new fridge magnet for Leeds Postcards . The inspiration was 1970′s disco and talent shows. The words are from a Zimbabwean proverb. If you can walk you can dance, if you can talk you can sing.

Leeds Postcards Button Badges and Fridge Magnets

I have been busy producing Button badges and Fridge Magnets for Leeds Postcards. What started as a simple idea soon revealed itself to be more complicated than first considered. Leeds Postcards produce radical cards and are stocked by art galleries, bookshops and health food stores across the UK. They have a great selection of powerful cards which seemed to be crying out to be turned into button badges and fridge magnets. However, when revisited one quickly realises that the media changes the message. Sometimes this is to do with where it is displayed other times it is the constraint of a different size and shape.
Well I was hurried along into production by Oxfam books putting in an order of badges for the Hay on wye festival .The badges were then taken up by Leeds art Gallery for their new shop, they also asked for 25 designs of the fridge magnets. This meant we had to go full steam ahead and produce the artwork and get them produced. So thanks to our stockists support we have some great new products ready to go on sale on the Leeds Postcards website
