Form have a great folio of work, especially like the bold identity for DSFX with it's imposing oversized logo

Austrailian agency Cornwell's identity for Design Live

Company's identity work is always slick, especially like the branding for The Larder restaurant

Chicago based Arlo have an extensive portfolio of quality branding work, get yourself a cuppa and take a good look round, inspiring stuff

Top iPhone Apps



Well I had an iPhone for a few months now and do love it, so thought I'd put together a quick list of my top Apps. If there is any more I should know about post a comment.

Whilst the camera on the iPhone isn't the greatest this app can really bring your photos to life, with a range of filters and effects that can be easily applied to your shots.

This barcode scanner works really well for easy price comparison, just hold a products barcode up to your camera and it will take you to a price list of online suppliers.

This app practically gives your iPhone a digital radio, searching hundreds of global stations for online streaming and storing your favourites. How well it streams depends a lot on the station, I mainly listen to BBC 6music on it and works really well on 3G rarely cutting out/ buffering.

A great app when you are in a town your not familiar with, gives you location and mapped routes to nearest, bars, restaurants, ATMs, supermarkets, petrol stations, car parks and more.

Whilst not an App (just a link to the website) the iplayer works great on the iphone, easy to navigate and great video quality.

PopCap make some great addictive games two favourites for the iPhone are Peggle and Bejewelled but they have a lot more to play online

There are loads of to do, and list apps to choose from, two of my simple favorites are the free To Do's and Shopping List Lite.

Control your itunes or apple TV from your iPhone, easy to set up and just works

Just a quick update with a couple of illustrations I have produced for a new client Apache Associates. They required two vector illustrations for the developing LGBT holiday section of the Sunsational Leisure website. The first is a image is bespoke commissioned illustration whilst the second has been adapted to suit from a stock illustration (click to enlarge).
