New week, new work example






















Morning, and what a gorgeous Monday morning it is (I don't think it's very often I've written those words). The sun is shining in Harrogate and although the frost has melted, it's still chilly - the perfect late winter morning in fact. One of the great things about being based in North Yorkshire is the fabulous scenery on our doorstep. Yesterday we took a drive up into Wharfedale to Kilnsey Park (underneath Kilnsey Crag) where we had a lovely walk in the sun, ate great food, and caught a few trout (okay, it was in a fish farm, so it was impossible not to catch any to be fair, but the look of delight on my daughter's face when she helped me to land the first fish was priceless).

Today I thought I'd show a recent piece of work I did for Carlisle Cleaning - a bid document cover (front and back) and content page (shown here as a double page spread) for a Eurostar cleaning contract. The subject matter is pretty dry, which is why it was important to lift the document with some creative thinking. The cover echoes the Eurostar electronic noticeboards, and the lined device on the content page alludes to train tracks. Much of the document was designed elsewhere at in Microsoft Word, and my brief was to make the cover, and content stand out (I also supplied the content page to the same design in a Word format too, so that should the client wish they could input page numbers etc themselves, as the pagination wasn't finalised at this stage).

It was a nice little project to work on, and I wish them well in winning the contract.
