Zeras Pop Up

Pop Up exhibition stand for Zeras Industries LLP whom I have worked with since their formation in 2006. They specialise in asbestos removal and safety. Not the most glamorous of industries, so the design challenges were even harder. They're pop-up stand needed to look serious, but not boring. Thanks to Carrick Signs also for getting the production done so quickly. Nice job guys.

Centrepiece Landscapes Brochure

Centrepiece Landscapes asked me to create a small, compact brochure for their business. The use of simple striking imagery on the cover and a clean layout inside served on an uncoated environmentally freindly stock, suited this brief perfectly. View their blog 'Lush Landscapes' for more information. 

Charles Foundation Prototype T-Shirt

Just arrived off the printing press. Front and back of the t-shirt. The colour was a little bit washed out so hopefully we can get this fixed and looking more vibrant for the actual print run. Already for him to wear when Charles himself takes part in the 'Great North Run' in September. Good Luck!

Cockermouth Foot Clinic

Ruth Hellen from Cockermouth Foot Clinic in ....er Cockermouth (for those of you who are laughing as you read this.. it is an actual place in Cumbria). I was asked to design some new business cards / appointment cards and will soon be helping with their shop signage and internal banners. 

Anyone for a pedicure? 

Nice displays in Harrogate.

Recently went to visit a friend in Harrogate and came across some nice retail window design and shop signage. These 3 were all in the same street to. So nice to see some shops doing something a little different and using design. The 'Phase Eight' sign is my fav - looks like ribbon, but made of wood. Neat!

New logo for Spinal Injury Charity

Charles Deans is a man whom I recently met and have become friends with. To cut a long story short he is in a wheelchair due to an accident at work and is now putting all his efforts (well almost all, I think his wife and 2 children may argue) into his foundation which was started a few months ago. I was asked to create a logo and future branded items such as sponsor forms, t-shirts etc, to get the charity out there. A website is to follow which I am currently putting together. The logo is focused on the support that this charity will give to people suffering from spinal injury including families and friends. I thought it best to stay away from the usual imagery of a broken spine or a wheelchair that I found was used quite a lot in other similar charities. I didn't want to focus on the negative aspect or the injury itself. The strapline that will support all the material is 'Supporting People with Spinal Injury throughout Cumbria'. 

Carlisle Dental Practice Promotion.

Dental practices are now becoming more design savvy. From the way they look to the services they give and also the style of the interiors. One such practice is York Place Dental. A great client who I love working with. Here is some recent work I have completed to promote their new 'Membership Scheme'.

Using their own photography I created a unique style that brings in the logo as a holding device for their imagery. Along with a classic Typeface the layout is clean, modern and on brand. I am currently busy working on their website and brand documents, I will post these up for you to view (and comment on) in the next couple of months. Keep Smiling ;)

Lakes Cottage Holidays

Lakes Cottage Holidays 2009 Brochure.We were asked again to produce the LCH brochure. After a few months and a re-design of the style and layout, the brochure has finally been printed and the results are excellent. Our client was so impressed that he personally delivered a bottle of champagne to the studio to say thank you. It was a great project to work on, even though there was a few late nights involved, but it was well worth the effort. For anyone wishing to holiday in the Lake District this year, there are lots of quality Cottages to choose from within this brochure, so make yourself a cup of tea, relax and browse through the brochure to see if anything catches your eye. 

Downland Marketing (based in Cumbria) deliver quality products to the Agricultural market. They commissioned PS Graphic Design to brand and promote a newly formulated Lamb Milk to the market. We produced a poster and leaflet campaign and also packaging of the bags.

The design was well received and stood out on the shelves within Agricultural retail outlets. We don't have exact figures yet, but we have been informed that LAMB FORCE is outselling all it's competitor food...we think it's due to the great packaging design and the poster campaign that helped promote it...well we would wouldn't we!

Scott Self Storage Car

Hello all, some recent vehicle livery we deisgned for Scott Self Storage. 

I spotted this on my way to a business breakfast meeting the other day. 

Who should be at this meeting, but the one and only Steven Scott, 

the Managing Director. He was absolutely thrilled with the design, 

which has resulted in much more business for his firm now this little 

yellow and green smart car is whizzing around the city. 

Happy Days Steve :)
