Creating the visual concept is one of the most fun stages of the brand design process. I love experimenting with different imagery, patterns, typography and colours to really narrow down that perfect concept.

Why CThomas Design Studio?

  • Simple & Warm

    If you’ve been following along then you already know I love to keep brands minimal and simplistic. It sounds cliché, but one of the most important inspirations for me is to keep things simple. Easier said than done, of course!

  • Crafted

    Creating a brand that is simple but still meaningful; clean yet still still full of character and personality. This minimal but rustic look will always be a favourite of mine!

  • Grow it

    All of my clients are small business owners, passionate about what they do and extremely talented. It’s so rewarding to be able to help create these wonderful brands each day and to be a part of their inspiring dreams.

TESTIMONIAL

Bruna Balodis

I found Cadel on Instagram by his beautiful artsy and minimal work while looking for a new logo for my brand. He offered me just what I needed; asked me the right questions; guided me to really understand what I wanted in order to showcase my brand. He was really patient, helpful and fun to work with. He also delivered more than expected, giving me options to work with my logo in different platforms, which was very helpful and unexpected. I would highly recommend his work to anyone needing a new brand. Thank you so much for going the extra mile and making me find what I was looking for!

Fosseway Freight

Incredibly professional, innovative and helpful. Cadel’s designs and ideas are amazing, we’re so pleased with the final website. He was given brief research and guidelines to show what we wanted, and he came up with an excellent concept which was exactly what we requested, making a very useful, fresh, modern and exciting website. We were very impressed with his attitude towards this project, completing it within a week of asking and not once minding any changes or suggestions.

I would and have recommended him to others, we’re extremely impressed.
