Final PKC Branding


Logo, Business Card and Website (portflio page)

Tester Sheet

Just to see what kind of stamp options i can create for my logo.

Out of this World!

I just came across the images on the Nat Geo website and though they were amazing. Totally unreal colors and shapes that haven't been seen yet. Could be a good place to look for the next big graphic style! haha!



New Finished Logo

After some research and idea generation i've  decided to go with a wax sealed stamp logo. The idea will be to get the actual brass stamp made to be used with melting wax. The digital version is simply a white cut out and looks like this.
This version with the white is for my website and other online functions. The other will be a 3D version with the initials sticking out. I like the traditional red wax. i created this using special sealing wax and a smooth round lid. Photographed it and managed the image in Photoshop. I think the logo suits me perfect and is a launch pad for the rest of my branding.

Branding Myself

Ive started to look at branding myself as a designer. Im going to be looking at a logo, business card, website and others. The idea is to create something that sells me as a designer. I decide to use my whole name rather than a cheesy made up name. So i started looking at possibilities around Phillip Kevin Carter Design. Initials i think will look better than the whole name.

Here i looked at different type style and decided that the more traditional elegant logo at the very top is the logo for my brand. I like the way the P and C are slightly smaller and fit in nicely around the K. Also the serif typeface is very strong and has a little personality in the kick of the K.

Old Design Work

This is a double page spread i designed last year which i thought still looked quite nice. Normally old work is horrifying to look at. This is all about World Aids Day. its the subject i chose to do my spread and follow page on. I like the text at the top and how it links with the illustration. Hope you like it to.


Malarky Shutters @ The Pure Gallery

Malarky painted the shutters at the pure gallery this week. Awesome illustration skills with spray paint. seems to be a foxes head running from a three eyed, four legged monster. Nice.
