Netta's Kitchen is a social enterprise in Budleigh Salterton, Devon which helps people with learning disabilities build skills and confidence through making and selling products. It is part of the Launchpad day service.
I helped to design their rebranded chutney labels.
Here are the initial sketches with the finished labels on the product:
Before the colour mosaic was the Chrysanthemum colour chart which used a system of 216 base colours, each with up to 27 tints.
While I've since retired it due to its complexity, I still think it looked nice, so here it is.
Version 5 of a poster representing the 4,096 colours with short colour codes in the red, green and blue colour space.
Version 4 was similar but had a few different colour names:
Version 3 with more generic colour names.
Version 2 with the 4,096 colours in hexagons:
Version 1 with just the 216 "web safe" colours:
It's a Euro 2020 wallchart, but it's the 1970s New York City Subway map by Massimo Vignelli (link goes to a New Yorker article).
This version was heavily influenced by the digital version by Max Roberts on tubemapcentral.com.

Some very unofficial and rough suggested logos for the Central Digital and Data Office, which no longer exists but our team briefly belonged to.
Victoria (Mrs Hick) has experimented with an Etsy shop for her embroidery, Little Stories Art. She embroiders lovely brooches, landscapes and custom pictures.
We worked on the logo together - the brief was for it to feel feminine, natural, flowing and adventurous.

Several years ago I worked on the brand identity of Imagetek when it provided scanning and archiving services.
The latest logo took fonts and colouring from the current one, but in a cleaner, more crisp form, reflecting the business's core service of scanning.
The design went through several iterations, exploring digitisation and binary numbers, eyes, pixels, 'I's, the letters "IT" and scan lines.
Looking at all angles of the business, and in discussion with them, the single scan line ended up as the most simple and elegant way to encapsulate the brand.
The logo for The Lazarus Boys, West Yorkshire's finest multigenre duo of musical Clives.
This is a suggested shorthand for taking notes on digital and design topics. The main criteria for each design is that it is easy to draw with a pencil.
Inspired by a session on sketchnoting by Dr Makayla Lewis at UX Bristol 2016.
