JAST Christmas Flyer.
The design of the week is the Christmas Flyer we completed for The Jast Partnership. The Jast team had a clear idea of what wanted but despite a wide search it proved difficult to find a stock image we were happy with that fitted with the idea for the design. We found two separate illustrations that were what the Jast team wanted, but they were in two obviously different styles. Our designer was able to work with the images and merge the styles so the final illustration looked like it had been one image all along.
We think it works very well and that the special offer flyer should bring in some new clients for the Jast team.

My favourite shoes – Anita
It’s an ongoing joke in the office, that I should have been called Imelda – what with my fascination for shoes. So I thought I would share my passion for shoes with you by listing my favourite 3 shoe designers.
The Eamz was an absolute immediate purchase when I saw them ( Annette found them and insisted I tried them on – in fact most of my shoe shopping is done with Annette’s encouragement)
Made by, United Nude, the Eamz is, conceptually inspired by a furniture design classic (a Charles and Ray Eames chair). It is a show stopper of a shoe, every time I wear them people stop and ask about them, they are definitely not shoes for the shy retiring amongst you. Over time they have become my favourite designers and I won’t be truly content until I own one of every shoe they do – the bank manager is very happy that I only buy one pair of their shoes a year!

I really love the funky shoes from Irregular Choice, they are quirky and beat the mundane shoes in most shops, here is one of my favourite shoe .

My other love is Jimmy Choo, though Sandra Choi, the Creative Director is amazing. My favourite shoe is from the 2008 spring/summer season. The Eliza is the most amazing killer heel. You are guaranteed to feel like a vixen with these shoes, at 4.5 “it is the only way I will ever feel like as tall as a supermodel, I am secretly hoping to get a pair for Christmas this year!
