// Freelance: Capital IT Resourcing

I was approached in the latter part of 2011 by the Managing Director of Capital IT Resourcing to work on the logo development for this recently conceived company. They are UK based recruitment consultancy, with their primary focus being temporary and permanent roles within the commercial, banking & finance and public sectors. The logo uses … Continue reading

// kate-powell.com

For months now (over a year, probably), I’ve been saying I’ll get my site designed and online, and yet it still hasn’t happened. Last weekend, I had a little spare time between doing freelance work and hanging out with my husband (watching films and playing badminton!) and so I finally took it upon myself to … Continue reading

// Ampersand heart

I don’t buy into any of the sappy, money making side of things, but I don’t think it escaped anyone’s attention that today is not just any old Tuesday, it’s The Day of Love, and so what better day to share ‘Love Ampersand’ by Graham Smith? The ampersand is easily my favourite letterform, and here … Continue reading

// iHeart Breaking Hearts*

Earlier this week, my lovely friend Daisy (who writes her own beauty blog – if that’s your thing, you should check it out) introduced me to the iHeart Breaking Hearts, and wow, I’m pretty glad she did! This is such a unique product, and with a super cute back story: “I SEE HEARTS EVERYWHERE!” They … Continue reading

// To Steve Jobs

It’s now been almost three weeks since the passing of Steve Jobs; a day when my Twitter timeline was full of the hashtag #RIPsteve and people across the globe all mourned the loss of one of the greatest (ONLY?) innovators of our time. Since this day, I’ve been shocked to the core at the vast … Continue reading

// Freelance: MF Surveying

This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve realised the void of my own personal design work on this blog, so I thought I would go through my portfolio and select some of my favourite projects so I can show off my more recent work! Today you get to see the logo I produced for MF … Continue reading

// Sharing: A Visual Guide to the Ampersand

I can only assume by this point that it’s pretty clear I have a bit of a soft spot for the ampersand. I’ve posted about the ampersand as a letterform, shared some beautiful ampersand accessories, and created a logo based around this beautiful character. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that I … Continue reading

// Wedding design work

Two posts in two days?! Told you I’d missed blogging! Before I disappeared, I told you I’d share some of my wedding designs once my big day had been and gone… This heart (click for larger version) took me hours and hours to complete. When it comes to designing, it transpires that I am my … Continue reading

// Wedding Prep

As some of you will know, I’m a designer who’s getting hitched at the end of August. It makes perfect sense that of course I would design everything that needs to be designed. Invites, table plan, guestbook, you name it, I’m making it. My invites have of course been created and mailed (I mentioned them … Continue reading

// Nike Plus

At the weekend, my fiancé and I made what I would class as an ‘investment’. We bought a new pair of Nike running shoes (you can see mine here), and a Nike+ sportband each. Naturally I got the white & pink one (pictured), and he went all manly and got the grey and yellow one. … Continue reading
