Posters Design and Flyers
I have been undertaking jobs to supply posters, flyers and other promotional material for various restaurants, artists and artist collectives.
Design Consultancy
I originally studied art and design in the 1980's at Falmouth School of Art and North East London Polytechnic. Following this I worked in hospitality management and then in IT management. In recent years I have started doing design, support and training jobs to assist my clients with various digital design projects they have on the go.
Logo Design, Branding Projects
Over recent years I have also produced logo design and small branding projects for several of my clients.
Design Support and Training
I often give digital design support and training to fine artists working in more traditional mediums. This includes helping them by preparing digital assets for websites and print items. I also train them to understand digital file formats and resolution requirements for both their print and website projects.
Artwork Photography
As well as assisting artists to photograph their own work, I also undertake shoots to photograph work for them. This is often required when the colour accuracy of their digital and print reproductions needs to be carefully controlled. Such accuracy is often not possible when using point-and-shoot or smart phone cameras and jpeg file formats. In these instances I assist them by employing digital SLR's and RAW file formats. Then using colour calibration tools and workflows to reproduce colour accurate images.
Menu Design
Over the years I have worked on numerous menu design concepts and menu redesign projects for clients. These jobs have ranged from concept development planning, to producing finished, print ready artwork for hardcopy menus.
Website Design and Production
I am beginning to get more involved in undertaking website projects for my existing and new clients. This is more within creative clients sector than my hospitality clients. Many of these clients are frustrated with restrictive website template platforms and want to get greater control and creativity into their websites by using clean, standards based HTML and CSS front end development tools.
