25.01.2022 DAY 21 - Suicide killed more men in 2019 than at any time in our history. Closing the gap between male suicide and female suicide would save nearly 1,700 lives a year. From lumber jacks to hipsters, we don't have to suffer in silence! My good friends @gotcha4life have been tirelessly raising awareness in the preventative mental health space and spreading the word about mental fitness with the goal of zero suicides!...

23.01.2022 The last couple of weeks have been pretty good. My work has picked back up and Ive been quoting on a heap of new projects with clients I havent worked with before or for a long time. The only problem Im having, is trying to get my costs across the line. I find this the most difficult part of my job - selling-in my value. Its hard. As a freelancer clients see your project cost or your hourly rate and compare it to a full-timer but forget that I dont pocket all of th...at money - I cant go in with "Hey, heres my logo price, it includes concept, design, finished art, tax, super, insurance and the cost of running a business"... What I get out of all of this is that the only way to justify your cost is by consistently producing good work (at a reasonable price). Anyways, thats my rant for the week. I hope youre all well and are staying safe. #desolve #graphicdesign #freelance #freelancemodel #freelancedesigner #logodesigner #freelancefriday #design #brisbane #brisbanedesigner #logo #sell #value #price #costs #love

21.01.2022 It has taken me awhile to find my place. I have never been a natural leader and it has always been a challenge when I have had lead teams. I feel more comfortable being part of the team. In footy terms, I like being the support player, always there to help in what ever way I can. Dont get me wrong, I step-up when I need to. I have been the lead designer on many projects and love being able to see my ideas come to life. I just think Im better suited to helping others. Fi...nd what you love doing and go for it. It doesnt matter if youre the Creative Director or the Finished Artist, everyone has a role in the process and no job can be successful without all those people doing their job... #findyourplace #feelgood #love #work #desolve #freelancefriday #freelancelife #graphicdesign #player #supportplayer #support #design #advertising #creative #creativedirector #finishedartist See more

20.01.2022 When I started working as a designer, books were our only source of inspiration. The studios I worked in had libraries of annuals and reference books, I remember spending my lunch breaks looking through them. These days I only have a handful of books on my shelf, books from designers and artists I think are pretty rad. Who of you still buy and collect design books? #desolve #graphicdesign #freelance #freelancemodel #freelancedesigner #logodesigner #freelancefriday #design #brisbane #brisbanedesigner #logo #books #reference #jessicahische #tattoo #aarondraplin #michaelbeirut #banksy #jameshancock #vincefrost #shawnbarber #love #inspiration

20.01.2022 Day 1 I'm again attempting to grow a Mo for men's health - expecially men's mental health. As blokes we still think we can fix anything but the one thing we are struggling to fix is our mental health! The stats are still showing way too many males are taking their own lives with over 7 a day in 2019! From rugby players to accountants, we don't have to suffer in silence! ...

19.01.2022 Today is the start of Mens Health week. So I thought Id highlight a few little projects I have worked on with organisations that a helping out blokes across the country. Here is a logo I designed for @rural_outreach ROC is a not-for-profit, community funded mental health counselling support service focusing on sufferers and their families in rural and remote Australia. ROC aims to significantly reduce suicide, the impact of depression and anxiety in rural families and comm...unities throughout regional Australia. #ruraloutreach #ruraloutreachcounselling #roc #menshealth #mentalhealth #awareness #health #australia #logo #logodesigner #freelancer #graphicdesigner #designer #yellow #brown #notforprofit #love #help #desolve

17.01.2022 Live in the moment. I know a lot of designers who have big plans. They have 1000s of ideas but sometimes forget to concentrate on whats in front of them. In the past I have been guilty of that. I start thinking about other projects while working on another. To get the best out of a job focus on it and if you find your mind start wondering have a break, refresh and come back to it...... #inthemoment #design #freelance #freelancedesigner #graphicdesigner #brisbane Brisbane #sydney #work #love #desolve #focus See more

15.01.2022 The only way I get the results I want is by "failing fast". After I get a brief and do my ground work, I sit down with a pen and pad and sketch out as many designs and layouts as I can. Most of them are crap, but I always find a couple that really stand out. Give yourself a time limit and race the clock. This doesnt allow you to doesnt you to dwell on one design. Start with a pen and pad. I feel the computer limits your freedom. ... #failfast #love #sketch #design #freelance #designtip #graphicdesigner #ideas #pen #pad #instagood #freelancetip #desolve

15.01.2022 DAY 5 - It's always a slow-grow for me but it's getting there...

13.01.2022 Every week I try and cram in as much work as possible. I balance freelance assignments with client work, I dont have time to procrastinate. Unfortunately some jobs have to be done quicker than you were hoping. Its a frustration for all designers. Make sure you have a WIP list and refer back to it regularly. I like to put times next to mine. I like to get my work in front of my client (or Art Director) early so they can make sure Im going in the right direction.... #designer #freelance #freelancefriday #love #procrastination #work #speed #getshitdone #ideas #WIP #list #graphicdesigner #desolve #graphic See more

10.01.2022 As a freelancer you get a lot of boring jobs. Mainly because youve been brought in to help-out in a busy period by doing all the jobs the full-timers dont want to do or you havent quite cracked that big client just yet. A good way to keep yourself sane and to also get noticed is to work on side projects. Because theyre yours, you have creative control. Share, share, share on your social accounts. It doesnt have to be design related either. You could be really goo...d at making cup cakes or want to one day have a painting featured in the Archibald Prize. Just do something that keeps you motivated and to fills in the time. #design #graphicdesign #desolve #freelance #love #sideproject #designer #freelancedesigner #adele #bieber #hashtag #instagood #freelancefriday #work #painting #illustration #photography #cooking #baking #gardening #sleeping #exercising #writing #projects See more

10.01.2022 Last week The Savoy Hotel On Little Collins in Melbourne launched its newly refurbished and re-branded hotel. I worked along side the team at TFE Hotels to create the new logo and supporting in-room collateral. The logo design direction was based on the concept of "Show Your Stripes". Each guest has their own style and personality and The Savoy Hotel On Little Collins wants them to feel that they can be themselves while staying at Savoy... This design direction takes i...nspiration from the rich history of the hotel while maintaining a contemporary feel. The tone is gentle in nature, with a subdued colour palette which will give an inviting feel. #savoy #savoyhotel #savoymelbourne #hotel #logo #logodesign #tfehotels #freelance #graphicdesign #rebrand #love #brand @ The Savoy Hotel on Little Collins Melbourne See more

07.01.2022 Every designer needs to learn to ask their clients Why. It is an essential way to get the information and insights you need to complete the project properly. Why is your client wanting to do this project? Why do you want to use those colours? Why did you go into business? The list goes on and on. Next time you get a brief, throw a few whys in there and see what happens (try not to go over-board, otherwise youll just piss your client off) #why #desolve #freelance #graphicdesign #freelancetips #designer #questions #ask #love #brief #answers #arianagrande #project #job #work #freelancelife

05.01.2022 As designers we spend a lot of time sitting down staring at a screen. And if youre anything like me you slowly get closer to the screen the longer you sit there (looking like a hunch-back). Research shows that the fitter and healthier you are the better you can concentrate for longer periods. Ive always been active and into sport and fitness, so sitting at a desk for too long does my head in. I try and go for a run or a swim a few times a week.... Try and go for a 15 minute walk at lunch time. Get out of your chair and get some sun. Youll be surprised how much better you feel after. And, dont forget to drink water throughout the day. #desolve #freelancefridays #freelancetips #designtips #graphicdesigner #health #love #instagood #fitness #water #sun #work #sitting #freelancer See more

04.01.2022 DAY 19 - Men’s relationship with their father plays a major role in shaping their lives. Research shows that men who experience low levels of emotional openness or engagement with their dads growing up are more likely to experience poor social support networks in adulthood. Becoming a father can be a difficult moment for men, with an estimated 30,000 new dads experiencing depression every year. Family separation is also a key suicide risk for men..
