This week I made some adjustments to a logo design for Stephen K Services based in the Isle of Wight. The image of the globe is taken from a stock image, but my client is fine with that. The logo will be used for embroidery onto work shirts. I have done a few jobs for this client over the last few years, including business cards, note pads and stickers. My client is very happy with my work.

The client was very happy with the design.
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.

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.
