If Sinead Grabe's not cycling around the happy seaside town of Bournemouth, she is sat at her desk surrounded by large piles of paper in every shade. Starting with a sketch, Sinead turns an idea into a layered card image, which is edited on Photoshop to add shadow or rearrange layouts.

An illustration graduate from the Arts University of Bournemouth and originally from Buckinghamshire Sinead enjoys depicting recognisable aspects of everyday life.

Playing with perspectives her work is clean cut, vibrant and positive.

Bits & Blogs - Brit + Co

Brit + Co is a community websites for crafters, designers and makers. On the surface it looks like a community based sharing site, swapping tips and ideas and projects. 

However, read the 'About' section and you'll see that the company develop many apps, have a wedding service, Weduary, to connect the bride & groom with their guests and they've partnered with some big brands. Think how-to for a digital generation.  

Alphabet Project

This is an old project so you may have seen it before. I came across it in March from another designers blog.

Back in 2012, designer Christopher Rouleau launched a project called Alphabet 100. The plan was to create 100 variations of each letter over 52 weeks. I thought this could make an interesting project for designers who want to experiment with font and hand lettering.

Fruit of the Loom has teamed up with Universal Design Studio to open 2 new pop-up shops to promote Seek No Further,  their new premium brand.
