			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CreativIT Computing Services develops bespoke software running on Microsoft Windows™ for companies ranging from small businesses to large corporations.</p>
<p>It is a company run by young professionals. Also with &#8216;Creativ&#8217; in the title, made me decide to go with bright colours. I have kept the font &#8216;clean&#8217; and modern to go with the IT profession of the company. The square icon is created from the main letters in the title: &#8216;C&#8217;, &#8216;I&#8217; and &#8216;T&#8217; and can be used separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elbie approached me to design a new portfolio website. She had no existing brand. Luckily I know Elbie personally for a few years. This made it easy for me to take my own design route I think will work best. It turns out she was happy with my interpretation of the new website design (perfect client?).</p>
<p>The initial thought (and basically everyone else in this particular industry) is to stick the very basic/neutral colours (black or white) for the overall look and feel. This ensure more focus on the actual photography.</p>
<p>Having seen photographs of her style of work, I chose a very dark theme. The circles in the the logo and the background adds femininity with a hint of baroque-style, while keeping the design modern. <em>Typekit</em> provided me with a better option font to create elegant headers.</p>
<p>The whole website is build using <em>WordPress</em> as the <a title="Content Management System" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system" target="_blank">CMS</a>. There is an additional blog section (navigation hidden at the moment). This will be revealed when the first blog post is ready (update to follow &#8211; hopefully soon)!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Peligoni Club" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.peligoni.com" mce_href="http://www.peligoni.com" target="_blank"><b>Peligoni Club</b></a> is in Zakynthos, Greece and has a great atmosphere for young adults, families and friends. In a nutshell; the club is relaxed, informal, stylish and chic. They also offer accommodation that is hand-picked for its quality, location, value and flexibility. Peligoni Club has a very wide selection of properties, from simple studio rooms, through to large luxury villas. Peligoni Club&#8217;s customers have the option to buy a pass for the club only or rent accommodation or both.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-524" title="Peligoni brochure" src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni3.jpg" mce_src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni3.jpg" alt="Peligoni brochure" height="363" width="540"/></p>
<p>Peligoni Club has 28 properties for accommodation with different facilities. These properties are combined in a 64 page A4 landscape book/brochure. The cover is printed on 300gsm Satimat and matt laminated. The rest of the <b>book/brochure</b> is printed on 170gsm Satimat and perfect (<a title="Pur Glue for book binding" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.linkroll.com/Home-Improvement--71873-Pur.html" mce_href="http://www.linkroll.com/Home-Improvement--71873-Pur.html" target="_blank">PUR</a>) bound with the cover.</p>
<p>The overall design of the brochure is prominently images to make sure the properties are being showed off properly. I used enough white space to make the bright, summer, beach colours stand out even more. Each property covers a spread.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-507" title="Peligoni brochure" src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni5.jpg" mce_src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni5.jpg" alt="Peligoni brochure" height="360" width="540"/></p>
<p>The club is at a separate location with a few key features:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>The Peligoni Club</b>; a hub for the water sports and where friends meet and chill out</li>
<li><b>Peligoni Lifestyle</b>; how people can spend there time at Peligoni such as the restaurant, spa and organised trips</li>
<li><b>Peligoni People</b>; it is all about the atmosphere</li>
<li><b>The Beach</b>; where various water sports are available</li>
<li><b>Weddings and Events</b></li>
</ul>
<p>These 5 features are presented on separate<b> A4 landscape inserts</b>. This leave the option for adding or excluding information from the promotional pack. The inserts are printed on 250gsm Satimat and matt laminated.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-510" title="inserts" src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni4.jpg" mce_src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni4.jpg" alt="inserts" height="356" width="540"/></p>
<p>To keep all of this toghether, I designed a <b>landscape folder</b> with a necessary 8mm capacity. The folder&#8217;s design is kept inline with the club&#8217;s image of friendly, stylish and chic. As with the brochure/book, I used a big image on the cover and kept the inside white. The white on the inside is a good contrast with bright, summer coloured images of the inserts and brochure that show in the pocket of the folder. The pocket of the folder is done with a special die cut to tie in with the logo. The silver foil on the cover and pocket of the folder add the necessary detail to complete the style. The folder is made of 400gsm Satimat (triple coated FSC silk art paper) and matt laminated.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-508" title="inside of Peligoni folder" src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni2.jpg" mce_src="http://www.semblance.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/peligoni2.jpg" alt="inside of Peligoni folder" height="360" width="540"/> After this project, the travel compass in my brain is pointing only in one direction for 2010&#8217;s summer holiday&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These painting was for an exhibition by woman with the            theme to celebrate being a woman. I was inspired by woman of three specific            places in the world. The way they dress and adornment. How they stand            out compare to the men, celebrating being a woman. Above are two of            the paintings.</p>
