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.

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.
