Work in Progress: The Smallest
I thought it might be fun to document the design process on a personal project. I want to run a site focused on nice people things and places that are local to where I live. I guess a locality/design guide, but without ambitions of being a one stop shop, just trying to have an emphasis on things which I like and appreciate. I thought it might be good to profile nice people too.
Because I live in Hobart, and by definition the things we do down here are smaller scale and I'm railing against the idea of having some big overblown thing, or trying to be all things to everyone, I liked the idea of calling it the smallest. Above is the first cut of the logo.
Type treatment was heavily influenced by older signwriting like below, but also retains my more modern sensibilities:
As the project progresses I will add more to my website so you can see it grow.

Verna + Hilda Website
Sometimes you are lucky enough to do work for people that when you get the end of the project you just feel happy and privileged to have been involved.
Verna + Hilda are two very clever ladies who do a really nice mixture of recycled vintage and new designed objects and they needed a bit of help with their website. I was happy to help.
The site is fun and functional which showcases their vintage meets yummy mummy on the high street look. Sometimes websites can be an exercise in simplicity and style - they don't always have to be massive, complicated (or expensive).

Zap Fitness 24/7 Launches!
Over the last few months I have been working on a project called Zap Fitness 24/7. It's a low cost, high quality gym that gives you 24 hour access, 7 days a week. You get your own keycard which you can use to "zap" in at any hour of the day. Brilliant for busy people, shift-workers, and people who otherwise wouldn't be able to get a regular gym.
I have designed and developed the entire and look and feel of Zap Fitness 24/7 in consultation with the client. This week the very first Zap Fitness 24/7 has opened for business. After the jump you can see the fit-out, signage and other nice little touches that we've been able to come up with for Zap Fitness 24/7.
This job has entailed the initial logo design, to the website, to the print material & advertising, promotional tee-shirts & hats, posters, brochures, internal and external signage. The whole project benefits from this overall approach and the consistency and identity of the new brand as a whole is very cohesive and striking.
Finally, I must mention that the Signage was produced by Eye Spy Signs and they have done an excellent job across the board, especially with some of the more involved aspects of this job - and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.
For more shots of Zap, please read the rest of this article.
