Hello.
I'm a Graphic Designer.

My portfolio of graphic design contains a small selection of the diverse range of projects I have been lucky enough to work on recently. They cover everything from business stationery and branding design, to brochure and catalogue design, to website design and development and even a visitor centre.

My Clients are equally diverse with a strong showing from artists and crafts people to wholesalers and corporate clients. There's even a digital motoring magazine, which incidentally won a silver award at the Digital Magazine Awards in late 2010

I can't show everything I've done here, we could be here forever, but if you'd like to see more or know a bit more detail about how I could help you and your business please do get in touch.

Print Design

Print can be and probably should be a very tactile medium. It has endured desipite the rise of the age of the website and e-books. I have worked with printers for nearly twenty years and in that time I have produced catalogues, brochures, countless leaflets and flyers, packaging, posters and stationery.
Just a few of the most recent examples are shown here. If your after something special, get in touch. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Logo & Branding Design

As a business your logo or brand design is one of the most important things you posess, and it is probably this area that the graphic designer is most associated with. So it is no surprise that a little of this work comes my way. The design examples here are as diverse as any of the other areas of my work ranging from interior designers to wholesale butchers to posh sock online retailers and a vistor centre based deep in the heart of Wales.

The logo needed to be clearly read in either English or Welsh, without a emphasis on either.

Everything Else

Not Everything Fits…

From time to time a project comes along that just doesn't fit into any decent category. So just for these awkward little souls I've given them a special place all of their own.

Amanda Brisbane is one of the World's foremost sand casted glass artists, and this catalogue of her work was produced to demonstrate her current ranges and recent sculpture work. Initially working in collaboration with veteran designer Mary Hayter, the project was conceived as a set of brochures contained within a wallet with a minimal design so as to focus attention on the individual works.

A large portion of the project involved photo retouching and colour correction to match the full range of colours available. I was also asked to take a series of reportage style photography of Amanda and her team at work.
