Stargazey's Cornish Seaside Gifts Website Redesigned

-
An existing client asked us to turn their simple five page website with gallery into an e-commerce shop.

Stargazey, a gift company with two shops in West Cornwall, initially only wanted a basic presence online, allowing potential customers to have a taster and a point of reference. More recently, though, they wanted to expand their shops online as well.


The client wanted to keep the same style as the design we had originally created for them, as this seaside feel was very suited to the homely gifts they specialise in. Our challenge was to expand the site to focus on visitors being able to buy those gifts, but not to compromise the original design.

I created new artwork keeping within the style, adding a quick link button to the shop, updating the fading image animation and adding a shopping cart as well as an editable section to the home page for the client to keep repeat visitors up to date. The shop itself has six categories in a tool bar which we added to the left hand side, making navigation very easy and a constant on every page. When an item is selected the product appears large and with plenty of white space, with the option of clicking on the photo to see it clearer.


The website is clean and fresh with a cool palette of seaside blues, putty beige and crisp white.

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...
