Graphic Patrick – my new portfolio

I’m Graphic Patrick!

At least that’s what I proclaim on my new portfolio. It’s taken quite a number of years to sort out my own web site, but when I started, the design process was really quick and I had a great developer to build it.

I actually launched this a few weeks ago, but didn’t make a fuss about it then. Check it out – I’m really proud of it.

Do you need new headphones?

If I wasn’t desperately attached to my Sennheiser HD-25-1 headphones, I would be looking to get a pair of these.

I’m not sure what the sound is like, but who cares when they look as smart at this? Loads of another models here too.

I love their branding and simple clear website too.

Work: Branding for Amanda Mansell

Amanda Mansell is a jeweller who I am doing branding for. (She designed my fiancé’s lovely engagement ring).

I am currently designing her web shop – AM by Amanda Mansell. This will be launched later this year, but in the meantime here’s a sneaky peak at the logo and business card.

Here is one of her collections and Lars’ engagement ring.

Great design content

Thinking for a Living pulls together design content in a typographically sexy site. Very good content it is too.
