Posters and flyers

I can create all the internal and external communications materials you need, from annual reports and newsletters to exhibition stands and flyers. We also have experience in sub-editing, proofreading and copy-writing, so if you want me to look beyond the design into content I can provide that service too.



Poster and fundraising leaflet

Seals appeal posterThis A3 poster of a seal folds down into an A5 information leaflet with detachable response device. This is a major fundraising appeal for Advocates for Animals and is being distributed to all their supporters. Fulfilment was arranged so that everyone got a personalised appeal letter and a poster, nicely packaged up in an attractive C5 envelope.

 

Flyers for Scottish Socialist Party

SSP flyerJust before the Scottish elections in 2003, I was approached by the Scottish Socialist Party to design a flyer specifically targetted at younger voters, outlining their policies in dealing with the drug problems in Scotland. A few days later they got six seats in the Scottish Parliament and a senior figure kindly said it was "the best political flyer I have ever seen".

 

May Day posters

Mayday posterMay Day is annual celebration throughout the world and I was asked to design the posters and flyers for Edinburgh's event in 2004. The guest speaker was Arthur Scargill so I chose an illustrative theme based around the demise of the mining industry, yet with a sense of dynamism that conveyed positivity for the future. I am a big fan of Russian artists of the 20th century such as El Lissitsky and Rodchenko and my design is influenced by their work.

 

Posters and flyers for Edinburgh People's Festival

Edinburgh People's Festival posterI was asked to do all the artwork for this annual summer festival for two years running. This included a run of eyecatching, informative posters, flyers and a programme of events.
