Design for Print
Words, Pictures & Sustainability
I plan, write, edit and design printed publications that provide a tangible connection with the people you want to reach – engaging communities, increasing support, raising funds. I also create and source imagery that grabs attention, adds meaning and shows people why your work matters.
If you’re looking for ways to communicate that go beyond the confines of the screen, then please get in touch. I look for design solutions that minimise your impact on the environment, and I specify sustainable materials as standard. I‘ll steer you away from wasteful and polluting production processes. And I work with local printers who demonstrate a commitment to the environment.

Promotional Assets: Poster Art of Modern China Exhibition
The Poster art of Modern China exhibition featured 133 original Chinese posters designed between 1913 and 1997. I made use of one of the most striking images in the collection to create posters and other promotional assets for the event.
CD Packaging: The People’s Voice
The People’s Voice featured a selection of music from The Janey Buchan Political Song Collection, as interpreted by contemporary Scottish musicians, including Alasdair Roberts. My packaging design was based around Ryan Mutter’s atmospheric painting.
Events Programme: Gaelic Language & Cultural Events
I designed this 12-page A5 dual-language booklet to promote a programme of Gaelic language events at the University of Glasgow. This is just one of many publications I designed for the University.
