Bringing the joy back

Marie Kondo coined the phrase, "sparks joy" with her decluttering method 'KonMari'. Along with half my house I went on a journey going through each item asking it if it brought me joy...hence a headache and many dump runs later, output was quite a revelation to my tendency to hoard mind. Transfer this concept to my business, I decided to rebrand! I wanted to expand to offer more than PA services, to include the more creative side and wound up delivering an album cover to boot!

At a recent gathering of friends, we did one of those quizes where it tells you what type of animal your personality is. Hilariously I came out as a Clownfish. My Motto was, "I've got an idea".

Far too close to home. With enough ideas to create a new world order, and domain names to cause a divorce, I found identity in that 'for a bit of fun' quiz.

It reminded me of why I love to create. Life is always full of new possibilities and new things to try. So when my brother-in-law asked if I could design their bands new album cover, I was honoured.

Where to start? Listening to the album again for inspiration (I had previously known all the songs back to front as my husband is a music producer and also produced the album) I was reminded of the history of this band. From the mid 70's they were up and coming rock/punk band from their home town in Harare, Zimbabwe.
