Alphablots surface design

Award winning gifts and prints for kids and colour-loving grown ups. Alphablots was a side project that has grown into a  business for me.

I developed the style in the screen-printing studio, working with overprints, intersecting shapes and three trusty pots of ink – cyan, magenta and yellow. Combining a love of letterforms with a commitment to bringing colour and fun to the formal constraints of typography, the original Alphablots were a series of illustrated letters. Since then, Alphablots has expanded to include greetings cards, pin badges, gift wrap, keyrings and art prints, all sharing the crisp lines and crazy bright colours of the original project. Here is a selection of the surface pattern designs I’ve created over the years.

The prints and cards are available to buy from the alphablots site, which I also designed and built – the perks of being a graphic designer.
