    Wood / Paper effect Business Card

    ^ You shouldn't use a wooden texture which would be printed. Instead print onto wood like balders suggested. The quality will look so much better.

    Grimms Fairy Tale Book Cover Design

    Ok thanks for the feedback. To sort of sway it towards children I did experiment with different colour covers, however I could only submit one design...I guess i could show more on behance. Nonetheless I take your comments on board, thank you.

    Grimms Fairy Tale Book Cover Design

    Ok. The Native American description was perhaps not necessary as if I am right in saying that is when they first came from. I used the idea of the stories being set in a fantasy land, therefore not true, so linking that to dreams. The woods theme is so overused so I wanted to avoid that, Penguin...

    Hi, this is a book cover design I entered into Penguin design awards for their children competition, Puffin Books. The book which required the cover was Grimms Fairy Tales. I would like to get your opinion on how it all looks. Here is my brief description. 'Dream Catchers are a fascinating...

    Crowe About It - Self Branding.

    I only needed 75 copies as it was just for my promotional mailer, finding a company which did such few copies was hard, most offered only 1000+ copies. It cost around £180 in the end I believe.

    Crowe About It - Self Branding.

    Hello! I got my papers printed a few weeks ago now and they turned out better than expected, sadly I found a small typo but nonetheless they are great. I would post some photos here but there are so many I will just link you to my blog. I send these out to four design agencies around the Bristol...

    The one below the black? I have asked the printers I use to print these colours as samples so I know what they will look like before I put forward a large print. Thanks

    Crowe About It - Self Branding.

    Here is a sample of the newspaper design I have come up with. It is designed to show my work as a portfolio but also ask for a placement. I wanted to keep the newspaper quite stripped back, so used only black and white photography and colours. This says I can make professional looking designs...

    Crowe About It - Self Branding.

    You're right. The font was originally a grungy one(as shown on the first page of this thread(I think)) Which I decided did not represent my style of work and was no need or reasoning behind it, so I pen tooled around it to get what you see. However this was quite a rushed process so I need to...

    Any one have some criticisms on my direct mailer idea(news paper, read all about it/crowe all about it)?
