Grimm and Tonic is now blogging

Hi to all

Welcome to the Grimm and Tonic and the first post of said blog. First of all, a short history. Grimm and Tonic is the name I am currently developing and branding for my personal identity. I should mention here that I am in my last year of a design degree majoring in media design.
The name came about in two parts, Grimm has been around for a little over a year now, my work was heavily influenced by my research into fairy tales and the use of silhouette which naturally incurred the name of Grimm (I have a habit of catogorising bodies of work by naming them) and developed into an identity for me. The Tonic part was attached at the start of this year when I was looking to brand a series of t-shirts, the thought process being a simple case of whittling out ideas such as G&T (the t standing for t-shirt) this also just happened to be the short name of one of my favourite mixes which I admittedly liked in a stupid way, anyway this eventually expanded to Grimm and Tonic. As my work as started to change and bring in different styles Tonic has become a name that describes the mix of styles as they develop.
