Scottish Country Dance - May Weekend - new ticket designs

This week I have been designing the new tickets for the RSCDS. The Weekend event will be held in May 2026. I have included a sample of one of last years tickets for the coffee morning in Duns. The designs this time around will be different.

New Christmas Card Design 2025

I designed this quick Christmas card on my iPhone. It took only a few minutes to create. I used the Photoshop app and adjusted a stock image, then I added some decoration with a little bit of holly. Then I added the message. I think Photoshop for iPhone is handy for creating quick simple designs. I would still use my desktop PC for more complex designs.

Duns Players - WAUR!

This week, I designed the programme for the Duns Players production of WAUR! which takes place at the Volunteer Hall on the 6th and 7th of November. The programme is an 8 page A5 keepsake of the show. There are nine separate shows that outline various wars, through the ages, that have affected the people of Berwickshire.

Berwickshire SWT Newsletter - Nov 2025

I recently designed the two page newsletter for our local SWT group. It was quite straightforward to lay out, with a bit of typesetting. After a couple of amends, it was approved for printing. The newsletter will be dispatched in November, into the main SWT magazine.

Machir Bay, Islay

After a recent visit to the wonderful island of Islay, I created this wee postcard. We had a nice visit to Machir Bay near Kilchoman on the island. I used Photoshop for iPhone to edit the photo, then I added some bits of text and graphics in Freeform. All done on my phone.

New Mug Design

Yesterday I was working on a mug mock-up design for a client of mine. This is the visual I have prepared. The logo is a picture of a globe with some leaves appearing to grow out of it. My client, Stephen Kenaghan Services is very happy with my designs.

WAUR! by Duns Players

This week, I am working on a poster for a show by Duns Players called WAUR! The dramatical show tells the story of war in Berwickshire through the ages. The design has yet to be finalised, but I'm pretty confident, they will like it. The image of the warrior is AI generated which I bought from Adobe Stock. The swords are also from a stock image. The poster will be printed and used online to promote the show in November. QR code is yet to be added to the design.
