A look at the wildlife and scenery in and around the Leicestershire village of Wistow, look out for the beautiful Grade 2 listed St Luke's church in Newton Harcourt surrounded by snowdrops and a pair of acrobatic squirrels perched precariously on the end of a branch. You`ll also ask yourself just what is that phone box doing in the middle of the woods ?. More images follow

Poster designed for Leicester Charity Menphys promoting their annual open garden event at Belvoir Lodge in July. My design is type lead and whilst formal in layout the poster has an deliberate handmade arts and crafts feel to it reflecting the rural nature of the events location.    

Designed to promote a charity event centred around the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations at Wistow Rural Centre in Leicestershire this poster uses the instantly recognisable Union Jack flag as its background. The Flag`s famous lines are echoed by the use of a simple sans serif typeface and patriotic colour scheme of Red, White, Blue & Yellow (standing in for gold in this instance).The type is centre aligned with a crown at the top in a deliberate nod toward the modern resurgence of the Keep Calm And Carry On posters.The Campaign saw this poster reproduced in a number of sizes from A5 through to A3 & displayed in a number of locations around the local area of Wistow, A simple easy to read style was needed that could be easily reproduced across the various sizes without loosing the message.
