Amalwhidden Farm Coarse Fishery has recently been reopened after extensive landscaping and restocking of new fish. The owners, Neil and Julia Hodder, wanted to promote the business via traditional printed material as well as online. We designed a DL sized folded leaflet to be used in advertising racks in local B&Bs, Hotels and Tourist information stands. We then moved on to the website. The requirements were to make it family friendly and welcoming. I also illustrated a map of the ponds and lake to show the features and fishing peg positions. The website is WordPress built so that it can be quickly and easily updated by the Julia and Neil from any PC with internet connection.

Poppy wanted to advertise her next stitching courses with a striking visual graphic that could be used on a postcard but also on her website and in advertising. It was an open brief but with a hint to the illustration style. A very enjoyable project indeed.

This A4 ‘point of sale’ board is designed for Poppy’s wholesale customers. Placed next to Poppy’s cosies and bags (and more!), it lets the shop and gallery customers learn a little more about Poppy and her business. The brief was to bring it in line with the current style and branding we now have on other promotional material. I produced it in Photoshop CS4 as a collage of different fabrics and photos.

This was a fun, free-hand design collaboration between Poppy and myself. Poppy required the finishing touches and layout designs produced for a set of 6 postcards. Firstly, I took photographs of the the flat appliqued stitched pictures Poppy had designed. Then after scaling and colour-correcting, I added hand drawn text to some of the card fronts. Then, turning to the back designs I took some of the elements from the front and combined them with more hand drawn text and illustrations. Printed on 100% recycled card within 2 miles of Poppy’s studio.
