24.01.2022 Heres a lil favourite of mine - the HaPI logo HaPI was created for an app, so named because it is a Hospital and Patient Interface. The client wanted to represent efficiency and workflow improvements. They loved the imagery - the fox - fast and agile! Heidi x @ Daiquiri Design - Graphic Design

24.01.2022 SPOTTED! The @stressless.australia decal I designed a few months back, on the window of @camdenfurnitureone. Lovely! Heidi x

22.01.2022 Want to contact me about design work, yet you live interstate, overseas, or you have zero idea where Camden is? [Clue - Its a lovely part of South West Sydney] Location is no barrier I work remotely for my UK and NZ clients, I can for you too!... Heidi x See more

20.01.2022 White space Its important, ok? What exactly is white space, you ask? It is the area between design elements. It is also the space within individual design elements. Despite its name, white space does not need to be white. It can be any colour, texture, pattern, or background image. Frustratingly, so many clients consider white space wasted space... Thinking it could be used to house more information or other visual elements Umm, no!... Clean, uncluttered design promotes elegance and is essential for a balanced and harmonious layout. It balances design elements and better organises content. Without it, the design would look overcrowded and overpowering. Do we want information and design to bombard us? Yeah nah. White space calms us, letting our eyes and brain focus on the message the design is communicating. And THATs what its all about! Get used to white space people, it is your mate Heidi x See more

20.01.2022 Way Back Wednesday! I designed these brochures up for @fastlanekarting back in 2016, after redesigning their logo to include and Party Venue I have been working with Fastlane for over a decade! Logos, brochures, flyers, cards, signboards, track signage, bus ads, you name it ... Heidi x See more

19.01.2022 No no Rihanna, its not work work work work work work... Its *Rihanna singing voice* Proof proof proof proof proof proof Im currently working on lots of printing jobs, and Im finding myself repeating the same thing to my clients - dont just skim over artwork, be checkin it thoroughly! If its a poster or a 100+ page catalogue - Check the spelling, the contact details, the images, the sizing, and the specs. ... Then, do it again. Thennn, get someone with fresh eyes to do the same. It may be tedious, but thorough proofing is so important. Re-printing is way less fun - trusssst me! Heidi x See more

19.01.2022 Why name a Branding & Graphic Design business after a cocktail, seriously? The answer is simple - making a cocktail is creative, fun and the final product looks brilliant. Kinda like designing Get it? The Daiquiri allows for personalised taste (or aesthetic taste, as per business branding) as you can add the fruit of your choice to give it your fave colour and tang.... Also, I kinda really really like strawberry Daiquiris Heidi x See more

17.01.2022 Want design done but have no idea which printer you should use? Well, hellooo! Managing print jobs is one of my fave. I use trade printers local and statewide, always choosing the right printer for the right job. So, relax! Ill sort your design, print and delivery. Easy Peasy!... Heidi x

17.01.2022 Taking it back to 2015! This was the fourth edition of the Turner Hastings Catalogue that I worked on, which also included a Corporate Profile. It was a massive project at over 250 pages, 500+ products, a fold-out colour selector, and full specifications! Well worth it though - the client was very happy with the finished product...

17.01.2022 Working on a digital mailout for @massesoflashes today! Featuring new products, their loyalty program and their product of the month Do you connect with your current / potential market via digital mailouts? Sometimes they can take some time to put together, but saying hello to your customers / clients can really pay off! Were all so busy and sometimes, just something small like an email newsletter will remind customers - Thats right, Ive been meaning to contact... / order from them! When was the last time you contacted your customers via a digital mailout? Heidi x

17.01.2022 Ok ok, so its time to put a face to the name! Im Heidi, and Im the one that does the designing I decided to start Daiquiri Design way back in 2004 after working in Marketing and realising answering to a boss wasnt muccch fun. I was only 22 but I knew I could totally do it on my own. I applied for NEIS (new enterprise incentive scheme), and off I went...... Then BOOM! Suddenly Im 37 and fairly chuffed I made the leap. Still designing, still lovin it. Heidi See more

14.01.2022 Im not quite sure how its been 7 years since I designed this logo for Lurnea Public School... The Principal, teachers, staff and school community at LPS wanted a fresh look which moved away from a typical and tired public school logo. A variety of colours were used, with the main colour teal, to create a logo which symbolises the great community spirit of the school. ... Swipe to see how the logo was applied to the LPS school uniform Heidi x @ Daiquiri Design - Graphic Design

14.01.2022 Grateful to get this job! Over the last few weeks I’ve been working with @furnitureone on their new Spring / Summer catalogue With many different stores, pricing and products, this one took a while! Well worth it however, the feedback so far as been great Heidi x

11.01.2022 A question I get asked almost daily, and one I cringe at answering because I know its nooo good for my biz I am constantly telling my clients they need an impressive website which is consistent with their brand Yet I let my own biz suffer. Its definitely time to practice what I preach! And so, good news - its coming! The new #daiquiridesign website will launch 18th June. Its been a while, and I cannot waaait for you all to see

10.01.2022 Takin it back to July 2017. Yet another custom logo, this one designed and developed for @cheshamwelding. Klay and Rheanan wanted a very simple and modern concept, in black and white. Heres the final look we created ... In the years that have followed, they have gone from strength to strength in business - something I love to hear from my clients! Heidi x @ Camden, New South Wales, Australia

10.01.2022 To run a successful business Insta account, Ive been told many times over that I have to make it personal. That its vital that Im relatable, so I can connect to my target audience... Urg, okkk then. So, Im Heidi and Im pretty bossy. Im a peacekeeper and a natural mediator, yet Im hopeless at communicating for myself. Instead I prefer the method of being sorta passive aggressive. Eeeks. Im a big butter and salt fan. True tolerance and acceptance are... ace. Love wins. Feminism 4 lyf. I am no fan of judgemental people, but then again, errr, I kinda am one at times. I need to work on that. Im a late person. Soz in advance. I have two daughters. Stevie, named after Fleetwood Macs Stevie Nicks, and Lotus. Her name derived from Christina Aguileras album Lotus, but to pretend Im cool I tell most people she was named after the Lotus flower and its ancient Buddhism symbolism. Like most Mothers, I cherish wine. I like to think I can see two sides of a story. Conflict makes me awkies and anxious. Feelings are difficult to talk about. I love trash tv. I procrastinate. A messy house shits me. My ego also shits me. I adore roast pumpkin. If you dont like it, you clearly arent cooking it properly. Cheesy romantic moments make me cringe. And eye roll. Im sorta vain. Do you stand stationary on travelators? Its not a ride! Please, just walk. Sarcasm is my friend. As is a cheese platter. I prefer to think, write and express things correctly rather than speak and get it wrong. I have two prominent and permanent horizontal dents on my legs from a time I sat in the baby seat of a shopping trolley at 2am, drunk, and it crashed. I shant be doing that again. I have a celeb crush on @shawnmendes. Yes, I know hes only 20. No, thats not weird at all. Im chronically indecisive. But never about loads of garlic prawns in a hot pot served with soft yet crusty bread. It is perfection. As are people with an open mind and a kind heart. The self indulgence of this post is making me wince, but its personal and relatable... Right? Heidi x See more

10.01.2022 Very profesh Congratulations postcards for Glenmore Park Public School We printed these on 350gsm art board, with matte celloglaze on the front only, so that the teachers can write their message and the students address on the reverse of the postcard Next up on the agenda for Glenmore Park PS - Greeting cards!...

09.01.2022 Even though websites are no longer my thing, yesterday I worked on my sister Toni’s biz website @massesoflashes www.massesoflashes.com.au I’ve made some important changes, making the site more user friendly and, of course, prettier. I’ve also been editing bits and pieces so that navigation is easier and products and quantities are categorised more effectively. In addition, since March I’ve completely taken over the Masses of Lashes Insta and email marketing, ra...mping up the social campaign and shining a light on all of the fab lash products that Masses of Lashes stock! I’ve been loving the marketing side - thinking of strategies to gain more sales and continue to connect to the current customers AND, this weekend we’ll be doing a huge photo shoot to update the products pics on the website Can’t wait!

09.01.2022 Well, after working all day yesterday until midnight, and most of today - we have lift off! After well over a year of no website (), Ive just launched my new online presence. Hurrah!

One teaspoon sugar syrup 90ml traditional Barcardi Put loads of cracked ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour the lime juice, sugar syrup and rum over the ice.

08.01.2022 In 2017 I was lucky enough to design the logo for the brand new Wentworth Point Public School I worked with the principal Ms Rose Manousaridis and the local community to create a concept which included the unique triangular shape of the schools main building, the white-bellied sea eagle and the Parramatta River In designing the logo, the native eagle was of upmost importance as it inhabits the local area and was used to remind of the power, beauty and the vulnera...bility of the natural environment The bird, looking forward with a strong sense of purpose was intended to inspire the students to have the same courage and resolve Lime and navy blue were chosen as we wanted the logo to POP, and steer away from traditional (and sometimes daggy ) school colours. So happy with the final look! Heidi x @ Daiquiri Design - Graphic Design See more

06.01.2022 My most recently completely project! The brand new logo for Mt Annan cafe @wilddragonflycafe. New owner Kylie wanted a circular logo which included flowers and a dragonfly (of course).

06.01.2022 One of my favourite projects of 2019! The 40 page @superspillsolutions catalogue Dominic, Daniela and I have worked together on five catalogues now. The page numbers keep growing, as does their business! Well done guys Heidi x

05.01.2022 Two years ago I designed the logo for @taraleighhairstudio. Tara came back to me recently as she wanted the logo to stand out more! I made edits to the colour and thickened up the font. Im lovin the new rose gold that we created, looking fab on both white and black backgrounds Heidi x @ Camden, New South Wales, Australia

05.01.2022 Design update! Heres a new couple of versions of the @cheshamwelding Logo. Klay and Rheanan wanted to keep their current logo, designed back in 2017, but get a new circular logo to use on merchandise and stickers. Turns out they liked a couple of the designs, so decided to go with two instead of one!... Happy Friday all Heidi x @ Camden, New South Wales, Australia See more

04.01.2022 So it’s 2021 and somehow I didn’t post once on my Daiquiri socials in 2020 But if there was a year to completely skip, last year was definitely the one! So, how do I sum up a year of work in one post? Unfortunately I cannot, so I’ll quickly run you through the larger projects of 2020, and post about more in the coming weeks...... I was lucky enough to continue to design more Furniture One catalogues and broadsheets! I also developed the new Organic Rituals logo, packaging, and marketing material, as well as working a whole lot for Fastlane Karting Sydney; managing their socials and editing their website, as well as all sorts of design including signage, brochures, flyers, race event logos (plus SO much more). 2020 was definitely a busy one! In 2021 I’ll be working five days a week - the first time I’ll be working five days since 2012! I’m now able to as my youngest daughter Lotus begins Kindy next week (despite her protests that she’s NEVER going to school, and will instead watch TV for the rest of her life). I do disagree with her, however... Both Stevie and Lotus being in school will give me the opportunity to get stuck into a larger workload in 2021! I am feeling refreshed and ready for the new year after my girls and I had a great holiday in Forster last week (the pic is of Lotus and I enjoying lunch at Si Señorita Forster. Delish! ). I’m now back in the office, and ready to take on new and exciting design projects! Can’t wait to hear from old and new clients, and I hope you are all ready for a better year ahead... Heidi x

03.01.2022 Back in November Jess contacted me wanting a logo for her new salon @ivyandritzhair in Woonona. She wanted something eye catching and classy, and it also had to appeal to both women and men. She felt that simple was best! Jess sent me through some images which best represented the colour scheme she wanted - this was a big help when designing the initial concepts. And this is the concept Jess chose for her business, and she didn’t even require one change - she loved it as ...is Good luck with your new salon Jess! Heidi x
