An illustration which was split across 3 window banners designed for the new outreach premises of the Elim Pentecostal Church in Greenock's Oak Mall shopping centre. The unit will be opening this Saturday to coincide with the start of an outreach with Carter Conlon's team from Times Square Church, New York.

With this local press advert for Inverclyde Council I created a slightly more formal and understated design taking cues from the classic Cunard styling and colours.
The world's biggest cruise liner is making her first visit to the Clyde as part of a special British Isles voyage marking the introduction of the Queen Mary 2 in 2004. She will berth on Monday 19th October at Greenock's Ocean Terminal.
From Inverclyde Now:
The biggest cruise ships to come to the Clyde so far are the Princess Cruises vessels Grand Princess, Star Princess and Golden Princess, which are all about 108,000-tonnnes. Queen Mary 2 is described as the largest, longest, widest, tallest and most expensive ocean liner built.
Thousands are expected to turn out and greet the largest vessel ever to call at Greenock.

Flyer and poster design to advertise a high school speaking event featuring a former drug addict and convicted criminal sharing his story of a life turned around.
I liked the B-Movie feel of how this carte blanche design turned out. The latest in a series of affiliated speaking events I have done poster designs for.
The competition encompasses a wide age group and the publicity is designed to appeal to a broad demographic and key in to the core Gaelic culture of the Irish and Scottish Gaeldoms without excluding participation from people outside or who are new to the Gaelic language and culture.

Alisdair supplied me with a selection of his gorgeous car photographs and after some discussion on what he was looking for I got to work producing an engaging, clean-cut layout style to showcase the photographs in their different categories. I provided a draft design for Alisdair to critique and after a few tweaks the book was ready to upload to his Blurb account from which he can now print copies as needed and supply them to clients to show the breadth of photographic style and techniques he can provide. High design at low cost and even less hassle.
You can find Alisdair at http://www.alisdaircusick.com
I also created a Word compatible 4 page leaflet to compliment the site for the client to print out and give to guests as required.
]]>This was an interesting project - a presentational resource for use on touch interface SMART Boards in Gaelic Medium schools throughout Scotland.
The resource was for the Religious & Moral Education curriculum and presented information on 6 major world religions for upper Primary school level. The programme presented each religion in a section with a graphical navigation menu as well as a pictorial menu for accessing sub topics within each religion. Sub topics presented text and photo information with accompanying illustrations depicting children of each faith leading the user through the various religious aspects.
The resource was designed as a Flash based CD-ROM for use on PC or Mac systems and thereby avoiding the need for proprietary display software such as SMART or Promethean whose use varies from school to school. This had the added advantage of being accessible through a touch interface display board OR computer based cursor interface.
The graphical user interface was designed to be colourful but streamlined to provide a stimulating user experience for the target age group and maintaining a navigational logic and ease of use in the touch based presentational environment or computer screen.
Drop down notes for teachers to access more detailed notes on each topic can be accessed throughout the presentation and the CD-ROM can be copied to a computer for use as a reference resource if desired.
I really enjoyed developing this resource with Stòrlann and if my Gaelic was better I'd probably be well versed in the minutiae of all these religions by now too. Thanks to Juliet Howard who was hired to produce the terrific illustrations for this.
