This week I did some stickers for the new planters in Duns Square for Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous. KDBM are a gardening group who maintain all the public plant beds in Duns. The Duns logo is already on the older planters, so this is to match in with the rest.
Word Weavers are a creative writing group who meet in Duns. They are giving a performance of monologues at this years Duns Play Fest. This week I designed a poster for their event in May. I chose to do a Mondrian style design poster because I thought it fitted well with their title 'In The Frame'. The client was very pleased with the end result.
Last month I designed a new leaflet for Duns Flowerbed Trail. It combines the two old leaflets into one A3 folded to DL size leaflet. The map fold leaflet now has more information about Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous and the map is in the centre pages. All the copy about each flowerbed is now on the centre pages. There is also additional info about the new Beacon bed in Duns park. The cover is much the same as the previous version. The leaflets were printed last week and the client is very happy with the finished result. They were printed on uncoated paper.
I recently refreshed the cover design for the Duns Community Newsletter. The A5 booklet will have a new purple colour and I changed the background illustration slightly. My client (A Heart For Duns) is pleased with the new design. The next issue is out in December.
I recently designed a new sign for the Flowerbed Trail in Duns. The trail is a series of signs at each flowerbed, where each sign has a QR code that can lead the user to find out more information about the plants at each flowerbed in Duns. This additional sign is for the Beacon Bed in Duns park. Keeping Duns Blooming Marvellous are a group of volunteers who maintain the flowerbeds. They do a great job. I did 4 different plant illustrations to go on the sign design. The client was very pleased with the overall look.
Last week I designed a flyer for Aitchisons Convenience Store at Bridgend Service Station in Duns. They have recently improved the choice and selection of food available to grab and go when getting your fuel.
Two weeks ago, I designed this poster for the Spring Market, which takes place at the Volunteer Hall in Duns on the 26th of April 2023. I quickly came up with a concept for this design and it didn't take too long to sketch out. Once I had done the sketch, I scanned it and traced it in Adobe Illustrator. The text etc was added in Indesign. I supplied the poster for print and web usage. My client was A Heart for Duns and they were very happy with my design.
This week, I have designed some keyrings and business cards for The Lawnmower Centre in Duns. The client approved the design after 1 set of revisions and was happy to proceed to print.
I designed this poster in 2020 for a local community group called A Heart For Duns. They wanted something bright and cheerful, so this is what I came up with. The client was very happy with the final result. In the end this event did not take place because of Covid 19, but as the design had already been done in March, I still got paid.
A few years ago, I designed the shop front and branding for Border Baguettes in Duns, Berwickshire. The client is my brother and he wanted something simple. So I was able to do a more classic design. I designed the logo and signage.
