Buzzing with 80s hits LINKED TO GRAPHIC DESIGN!

I had a brilliant time at St Albans Business Buzz networking recently, it was my first event as a Business Buzz Ambassador! 🎉 I’m absolutely buzzing (pun intended) to be part of the Buzz team and can’t wait to support the community and get to know everyone better. 🐝 I delivered my intro with a twist... packed full of classic 80s song titles, all tied to my world of graphic design and illustration.

How many 80s hits can you spot? Answers are LOWER DOWN!

I’m Lisa Miles, Chief Cake Eater, Graphic Designer, and Illustrator from Creative Sofa.

I love working whilst listening to music — nothing fuels my creativity like some 80’s music. So I’ve crammed as many cheesy 80s songs into this as I could.

Is your brand middle of the road, out of touch, bad or even nasty?

Why?

You are not alone, I feel for you.

Things can only get better if you take on me as your creative partner. I’ll create branding that’s too good to be forgotten. Because, I want you to feel pride when you share your business card with everyone at Buzz.

Wouldn’t it be good if well-designed social media graphics could help you rise above your competition, and create lots of opportunities (Let’s make lots of money). Imagine if your brand was just everywhere! The talk of the town? That would be such a good thing.

If you are under pressure to find some great design, I’m your gal! Don’t panic! I’ll come to your rescue! You can relax knowing I’ll meet your deadline. I usually work 9 to 5, but if required, I’ll jump into action, stay up late and even work all night long to create a design that is a true reflection of your brand values.

I put my heart and soul into my illustrations. I want you to fall head over heels in love with them, be it portraits, buildings, children’s or corporate, I got you.

So if you want simply the best graphic design and illustration, just call me and we can sit down and have a little talk talk, so I can get the message just right.
