Portfolio
One of the things I enjoy about what I do is the varied nature of the projects I undertake. Each one brings its own challenges and solutions. Below you will find just some of the designs I have worked on, split into four categories.
Memoirs
Memoirs make up a large proportion of the books I design and publish. Above are just some of them - some have been published by Loose Chippings and others have been for clients who have sold and distributed the titles themselves. You can find four recommendations below.
Promotional Material
An essential for every business, I produce promotional material in many forms and many styles, from advertisements for magazines, to logos, to packaging for ice cream and apple juice.
Company Profiles
Many businesses have an interesting story to tell, perhaps a history, perhaps celebrating some achievement. Many of their customers will gladly pay for and enjoy a well-produced, beautiful book about their favourite business. Or some companies decide to gift them to their best customers. Whichever route you choose, talk to me about how best to promote your business. Above are books I produced telling the history of an RAF Squadron and a long-established silversmith.
Other Projects
Of course I am happy to look at any type of design project. I have produced postcards, pamphlets, banners. I have also worked with web site developers where clients require continuity of style between printed and electronic publicity.
