A good friend of ours, Yvette Hawkins is a poet and an artist who works under the moniker of PaperFaerie. Currently living in the growing city of Newcastle Upon Tyne, she is inspired by the world around her, natural and organic, architectural and structured, aiming to capture the surprising and unknown. She has a BA in Fine Art at Newcastle University, and her favourite material to work with is paper.
She does very well selling her art on etsy.com. We were commisioned to design this logo for her. Designing for artists and musicians is something we love doing, so if you are a independant creative needing a blog to publicise your work get in touch!
Another blog for UK Offer, this is an affiliate site for womans fashion. We were definately inspired by the Hed Kandi artist Jason Brooks on this design, as we love his work.

This is a poker portal designed by us for UK Offer. A news section with an RSS feed was required, so later wordpress was installed on the site. The theme created was to exactly match the existing website, which turned out to be no trouble at all.

This blog was designed for Kieron Donoghue of UK Offer Media for promoting various discount codes and offers on www.ukoffer.com. We had previously designed a new look for his UK Offer Media brand and were asked to give the new image a “web 2.0″ look full of glassy buttons and a shiny logo. Some customised code was added so the offers could be listed in varous ways on the sidebar.
Discount sites and Voucher Code sites are becoming very popular, and unlike affiliate landing pages, they offer real value to their target market. The future of affiliate marketing is moving towards a necessity to include some value to the online shopper, providing unique information or offering a discount or service will sort the part timers out from the super affiliates.
Once the value to online shoppers is available, then its natural that the site should be well designed and offer usability to the widest audience.
The site is doing well and has recently been mentioned in the Telegraph.
