Second Draft

This is a one page website created for the Dining Room Restaurant in Rock. They wanted a website that centred around classic black and white and their elegant food. I used a fine pinstripe as a background, contrasting with strong black diving the space. This website is just to introduce visitors to their restaurant and style of food, with a downloadable PDF menu that is regularly updated. In the future we will extend the website to offer more pages and information, but for now this simple site stylishly and clearly presents all that is needed. Emma Julian

On Friday 1st October, Pickle Design's studio became an exhibition space for artist John O'Carroll. The evening was a collaboration between Pickle Design, John O'Carroll and Wadebridge Wines who gave a wine tasting on the night. The exhibition consisted of fourteen pieces of John's recent work from his 'Ambient Light' and 'Shadow' series'. Our studio, cleared of its clutter and furniture, created a great space for his huge wax pieces - particularly his large circle piece which was lit on the back wall. The evening consisted of an informal and fun presentation of four wines from Tamsin at Wadebridge Wines within the relaxed setting of John's work. Following this, John gave a presentation on his experiences that has inspired him to produce these fine pieces - The Egyptian and Cornish landscapes are a source of his inspiration along with a keen interest in iconography, time and space. The exhibition was attended by clients, friends and ass...

Wadebridge Bathroom Studio asked us recently to create two posters to promote a special offer they were running. We took their existing brand and applied it to the large format printing, ensuring that it both conveyed the message clearly, and maintained the high standard of their business. Marie was able to give the A1 posters a fresh look without losing the integrity of the WBS brand. The posters were printed digitally on 200gsm stock, full colour. The turnaround time was important in order to take advantage of the time scale of their, and so they were produced very quickly.

One of our clients is part of a competition with a great prize. A holiday in luxury cottages on the edge of the beautiful Bodmin Moor. Kelly's of Cornwall has linked up with Steppes Farm Holiday Cottages, based on the North Cornwall coast, to offer 2 people the chance to win a 3-night break in one of its beautiful self-catering luxury holiday cottages. The prize also includes full use of Steppes Farm spa facilities - so at the end of a hard day's exploring, you can kick back, relax in the outdoor hot tub and gaze longingly at the Cornish sky.

Steppes Farm luxury holiday cottages in North Cornwall make the perfect prize for this competition, and th...

We have just finished a website for the removal firm, Smith of Bodmin. Previously, they had a basic one page site, but want a website that would communicate their brand more effectively. The client provided a mixture of photography and stock images, and we used their existing colours of blue and yellow. Smith of Bodmin provide reliable removals in Cornwall, and are a well respected company with many happy clients, so it was important to communicate this and I wanted to show them as a friendly and approachable team with great service. So in my design we have a post-it style text box and a teddy bear icon that has come to be associated with the brand. We also host the website of a company that Smith of Bodmin worked with, which was once based nearby and known as Right Move of Lostwithiel. The founder of this firm has since rebranded as SW Removals and Storage, who are now based in Par, near St Austell, and also specialise in removals to France as well as throughout the UK. Eac...

Joseph Bouzaglo has created the above image to be used as both a Twitter background and as a poster design. He created a minimal piece that is now available from the Pickle Design website as a free Twitter background, or to be bought as a high quality A3 poster. Prices include postage for delivery in either the UK or worldwide. There are also a number of other designs on the Pickle site by Emma Julian and Marie Lawley. The style of their work is quite different in it is interesting to see how it relates to their other design projects.

The Quarryman wanted us to design them a website to reflect their food, drink and accommodation. Set in between Padstow and Wadebridge, The Quarryman serves freshly prepared food which we were keen to portray - of course, we had to go there to sample it first..! We thoroughly enjoyed the desserts and feel our photographs give a good glimpse of the quality on offer. We wanted to represent this pub in a friendly manner reflecting all their features including the spectacular view of the Estuary from their apartment. To do this, and to maximise the use of the pictures from the photoshoot, we used buttons to illustrate each section in the toolbar which remains visible throughout the site. We have incorporated Facebook and Twitter feeds so that the website is always current and helps the viewer get a feel for the people and the place.
