The Artist, Joanna Commings', Online Gallery

-

We have recently completed a website for talented Cornish-based artist, Joanna Commings. She approached us as she needed an online presence and a way to showcase her portfolio. I love designing artist's websites, as the idea is to make the design minimal and allow their work to speak for itself.

I chose one of her iconic paintings as a banner and used the navigation to create depth, light and shade. Then created a format allowing a large image and thumbnail shot on each page, with a pallet of grays and white to complement Joanna's Cornish art.

The home page has an editable section where Joanna can keep people informed about up and coming exhibitions, along with a little information about the artist herself.


There is a page focussed on her landscape paintings and a page about her portraits and commissions. We also created an online gallery so that Joanna could upload her paintings herself. This allows her beautiful pictures to be displayed large and to be navigated with arrows and thumbnails. The client is very happy with the finished result, as are we!


To let people know that she had a new web presence, Joanna also requested a single sided business car. So we matched the design of the website and used the iconic image of St. Michael's Mount once again to tie the two applications together. These were printed on 400gsm matt laminated stock.

Pickle's Three Year Anniversary

-

Pickle Design passed the three year milestone at the end of August, and we could not let it go by without marking the occasion. So Emma and Marie had the idea of taking advantage of the Camel Trail. We hired some bikes and rode the trail from Wadebridge to Padstow, remarkably between showers, although the wind did make the outward journey slightly more challenging (especially to our hair...). But we were spurred on by the thought of fish and chips when we got to our destination, and chose to sample some of Stein's. Marie brought her husband, Jai (above), along for the ride, and Emma invited her brother, Paul (below). The conversation was lively and ranged from our ubiquitous movie chat, a few moments contemplating Spurs' currently good progress in the league, and the astonishing scenery right on our doorstep. So that was three years and the fourth one looks to be even more interesting. We are just as keen to find challenging projects to work on, so feel free to contact us with ...

Camel Ski and Snow Flyers

The inside of the concertina fold Camel Snow flyer We thought we would show you some of our recent printing jobs for Camel Ski School who we have enjoyed working with for a number of years. The three DL flyers for Camel Ski School Initially they had an A4 folded to a third to promote the school, but as there is so much variety to their service chose to use three DL flyers which showcase key activities. They were distributed through the local region. The Camel Camps brochure cover The ski school, located in Rock, Cornwall, also runs camps for kids from the cities to make the most of outdoors activities and to teach them survival skills. The leaflets for the camps needed to work in a different way, they were to be sent to schools and needed to look eye-catching and dynamic. Inside pages of the Camel Camps flyer We thought the best format for this was a concertina fold leaflet. Each panel could then highlight a different aspect of what the team do and allow image...
