Max Bygraves remembers…
CD Design, Poster Mock-up
I was approached by Max Bygraves’ manager to design the case and discs of the comedian and entertainer’s new CD to commemorate his 60 years in show business, and to celebrate his 85th birthday.
Due to constraints, we decided to modify a previous cover (from the Maximemories LP) which required heavy editing, in terms of cleaning up the image to give as sharp and flawless a copy as possible from the scanned dust jacket, and of editing the poster shown behind Max. In the original, it listed those mentioned in his Maximemories show, and we needed to list the new line-up on the front.
The interior of the dust jacket was also altered for use as the backdrop inside the CD booklet, and discs and a rear inlay were also designed.

We’ve had some great feedback from our customers on the artwork and layout provided by Rob Barrett.
He was easy to work with, quick to grasp our concept and put it all together, competently. Rob’s attention to detail throughout the project has been thorough and first class. My father and I would certainly recommend him to anyone requiring a professional and reasonably priced job brought in on time. Thanks Rob.

I’m the Midnight Specialist
Book Cover, Typesetting, Proof-reading, Illustration, Custom Typeface
Trevor Andrei, who I knew previously from work on his Footprints flyer, asked me to design the book cover and do the typography and page layout for his new book.
He was able to provide me with a rough idea of what he wanted, which I then developed and tidied into the final design. Through the layout process of the interior, I also provided proof-reading.
‘I’m the Midnight Specialist’ is currently selling in the USA and UK on Amazon, and will soon be available elsewhere.

What I like about Rob is that he takes notes! He listens and hears what I am saying, and gets the feel for both what I specify I want, and what I’m unclear on, which he has artistic license to bring to fruition in my book which sold in 7 countries in its first three days.
I think it’s very important to have Rob on my team, currently we are working on the German translation of my first book, ‘I’m the Midnight Specialist’, and getting ready to start on my second book.

Your Body Excellence
Logo, Branding, eBooks, Website Concept
Your Body Excellence delivers advice on the most effective forms of exercise and injury recovery. This new company required a brand to be developed, eBooks (their sellable products) to be designed and typeset, and a concept for a website from which they could market their advice.

Footprints Surfaris
Brochure, Business Card, Posters, Bus Stickers
This was a fun client to work with! Trevor Andrei of Footprints originally approached me to design a brochure for his surf school and tour company in Perth, Australia. What started as a basic double-sided flyer evolved into a full-colour 4-page brochure with a calendar of events.
This work lead Trevor to hire my services again to amend the brochure with new tours and dates, to design his business cards, and to design posters for display around local venues to advertise his business and its involvement in local events.
In return, Trevor part-paid his fees in surf lessons and equipment, which certainly helped motivation for the job!
Testimonial:
It was Rob that made my first real brochures which lead me to secure Roxy and Quiksilver as my surf school’s sponsors. Rob is an expert in his craft, his attention to detail is second-to-none. I don’t think words can convey how gratifying the fruits are.

Solent Nautical College
Logo, Website
I was hired to design a logo and website for this sailing school based in Lymington and Hamble.
The owners currently run a franchise of SailTime and decided to extend their business into teaching, and needed a website to send potential students to. This would have to explain their range of courses and their teaching methods, along with information on pricing, location and teaching boats.
As the school is very much linked to their other business, they wanted their new logo to tie in with the existing SailTime mark.

Local Gems
Advertisement Postcard
Local Gems, a new local directory site serving Bristol and Cardiff, required a postcard that could be displayed in newsagents and other local shops in order to attract advertisers to the free service.
Taking elements already existing on the site (the logo and green ‘people’ strip), I put together a design to clearly put across the message for local businesses to sign up, tying the look and feel closely to the website to streamline the visual process for visitors.
