Well I’ve had a tough few weeks and I’ve been reflecting back on what’s been happening.

On the 19th I got dismissed from where I was working so for the moment I’m just freelance and hoping to find a job as soon as possible in the new year.

Hopefully I can do something new and exciting!!!

That was a pretty bad start to Christmas, although the rest of the Christmas Holiday has been great celebrating it with friends and family.

Received a late Christmas present today, my favourite drink Mountain Dew!

Got a full crate, love it…

Anyway, hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoy New Years Eve!

Just had a look over at OMG it even has a watermark and my business card for Gouka Design has been recognised :).

Really interesting blog with different idea’s to get the best from your business card.

Well I haven’t updated this in a while, keep wanting to do and then my mind goes blank at the last minute.

Well Halloween’s gone and bonfire night, was pretty good this year :).

Been doing a mixture of different work recently again, working on e-marketing and a few flyers.

I’ve recently had some new work in too, which I will add to my portfolio as soon as I can!

Created a new site called SCRPBK/SCRAPBOOK, this is currently in a draft stage and you can view it at www.scrpbk.tk.

Recently got the Gouka Design business back from the printers. Really pleased with the way the spot UV turned out on the black.

Updated the Gouka Design main website, user’s can view all examples in my portfolio and choose a style they like, they can choose from CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)).

I’m unsure which colour of my portfolio I prefer, at the minute it’s cyan.

Well I’m designing my first business cards for gouka design for freelance work.
The card’s will have a spot UV on the front to try attract some sort of attention.

Business Card ideas for Gouka Design

Just updated the main portfolio with work from this month (August) and July.

Some more work coming soon! Keep checking my blog and my main portfolio > www.goukadesign.co.uk every week or two for the latest from me.

The making of my 3/4 sleeve (almost start to finish)

front and back of my 3/4 oriental nature sleeve. *The tiger represents tora which is the Chinese I was born in, 1986)

Left hand kanji symbols, kawaii, dear, sweet, cute

right hand kanji symbols for keisu

left arm quill (soon to be covered up)

left arm swallow *a friend is known in true difficulty*

left leg lotus and gouka (portfolio name means gorgeous)

Well this months going pretty quickly so far, as I still haven’t had chance to design my own business cards or do what I want but thats life I guess.

Recently I worked using flash cs3 for the teeshirtheaven website which is almost finished and found out that Action Script 3 looks pretty hard but has so many new possibilities. I need to get back into doing some tutorials as every year something new changes within web design.

This week I hope to get cracking on my business cards, an update of my website, create the website for a club and enjoy my dads birthday night out on Monday the 11th.

Hope the weather clears up from this awful rain, it’s still summer!

The last week has been eventful, as will this week going into August.

I finally got my tattoo finished off on Tuesday last week and also got a new tattoo on my hand which in kanji means cute, dear & sweet…(pictures will be up shortly).

At work stationery was sent off for Bluebay Leisure Ltd and a menu for Vudu Lounge in York with a spot UV used on the front :).

I’ve been working on some newer design and planning new sites which will be appearing soon.

Well that was it for last week, this week I should have teeshirtheaven’s website complete and I’m finally 22 on Tuesday the 29th.

My 21st year has gone too quickly…As do all years with life being to short…
