About
I’m a Freelance Graphic & Web Designer, Photographer and Aspiring Blogger: A creative sensitive soul with a mean creative spark.
A site dedicated to all things creative. Not just visual creativity, but also less tangible aspects of being creative.
This site is in constant motion, daily changes and tweaks, thoughts and ideas. It’s not just about ’selling myself’, it is also a voice for my own thoughts and ideas, dreams and aspirations. It’s a true Blog, it’s not solely a marketing tool, it’s more personal that that by a long stretch.
A little about where I live
Graham Smith, that’s me, lives and works in Seaford, East Sussex, is a Freelance Graphic, Web Designer and wanna be Blogger.
I have lived in this quaint town all my life, nearly 36 and a half years as of this writing. Both my parents initially lived in Brighton before my Father joined the Police and was posted to Seaford. Thus the Family Smith moved to Seaford.
I have done pretty much everything here and still am thankful for being born and raised in Seaford. I never get bored of the town, the scenery, the sea, the beach, the cliffs, the River Cuckmere, Seaford Head, Friston Forest to name but a few positives that Seaford has going for it. It is sandwiched in the South Downs, and has Brighton 13 miles to the West and Eastbourne 8 miles to the East and is a short train journey to anywhere.
To be placed so close to nature is simply outstanding. Now that I work from home and have views of the South Downs and the Cliffs from my Studio, makes it even more inspiring. The only problem I have is with motivation, always keen to look outside or be outside.
Seaford gets slated by many people who live here, but they mostly have their eye’s closed to the more gratifying aspects of living in a small coastal town.
This site is a combination of PA (Personal Attitude), Creativity. Ramblings on about Design, Photography and Blogging.
I am available for hire and can help you with many aspects of traditional and digital design.
ImJustCreative provides quality graphic design and logo design services - all based from my humble home studio in Seaford, East Sussex, England.
For the last 20 years I have established myself as a clean and stylish designer. I have worked directly for commercial printer, advertising agencies, marketing, design and repro companies. Having experienced this unique insight I am well placed to offer a complete and rounded outlook, that takes into account all manner of aspects that many designers just don’t have the experience to fully realise.

This is me, lazing in Egypt, contemplating the next part of my life during a 2 month backpacking trip round, through, over and under in this sandy land. I think I was waiting for my next bottle of Egyptian brand Stello.
This is where I live, well, not exactly, but 5 minutes walk right of the picture and is a view from my studio at home. This is the view from the top of Seaford Head looking down on the Cuckmere valley and in the distance, the beginnings of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head. Not bad really all things considered.
This Web Site, Blog, whatever, is a combination of personal attitude, ramblings on about Blogging, Design and Photography.
After working in the Print, Design, Marketing & Advertising industry for some 20 years I am now starting out as a Freelancer, hard going but I have confidence in my abilities and hope to offer my creative perspective’s to other’s.
Photography is a passion but a serious hobby.
Creativity and Design is within me. Design encompasses a wide variety of meanings, but for me I try to keep things minimal and focus on Graphic Design both printed and digital. I am a designer of 20 years.
This site is relatively new in terms of what it is now setting out to achieve. But it is my own creation, reflects how I see things and is in a constant state of evolution. Nothing much stands still in my life, this web site included. I yearn to learn, experiment, problem solve, create and assimilate.
I do consider myself to be quite unique and individual in many way’s and struggle to conform when it’s pushed on me. I have lots of unique and personal views, thoughts and tips to share. Some of it I’m sure is not unique, but when it’s not, it will be personified and it will have my own sense of style injected into it.
If you are fed up with ‘noise‘ and lack of ‘white space‘ on your Blog then I may be able to help you simplify. It’s not about being boring or untalented. It’s about being comfortable with who you are and confident about your own abilities.
Although I seem to spend most of my life in a varied state of ‘funkness’. I created ‘ImJustCreative‘ as a means to really explore and share the creative side that I was born with.
ImJustCreative is really about creativity in the mind and outside of: Typography, Marketing, Advertising, photography, art, graphic design, writing and Blog & Web Design including everything Wordpress and CMS; and anything else Web 2.0. I am also known for my very subjective and personal thoughts, so I will be sharing these often as well.
I will talk about my 20 years in commercial graphic design and print, IT, Apple Mac geekery, marketing and advertising and will be passing of some of my own views on what constitutes ‘healthy’ design both on paper and the web. These are only my views, but they are also views that have proven to be very positive in my career.
So to sum up: I am a freelance Designer, Photographer, and Blogger using this site to communicate to whoever stops’s to read - all that I can do, all that I think and all that I am.
