Recent publishing projects

A 160-page illustrated non-fiction book sized at 300 x 300mm. Currently in production, the finished product will include over 180 photographs, and silver foil finishing detail.

A 40 page zine of personal poetry ‘capturing moments in life that inspire’. Including many full bleed photos and printed on recycled paper.

A 200-page paperback and Kindle book, including cover design with original photography. The cover design idea was realised with a 5am dawn shoot on Shoreham beach, with some retouching to enhance and extend around the back cover.

A ‘verse commentary’ on Van Gogh’s final series of paintings, with each image accompanied by a short poem. A square format with a black background was chosen to enable both portrait and landscape paintings to sit right and jump off the page.

A 250-page paperback and Kindle book, including cover design and image work throughout. Each entry in this ‘blog-book’ included an image, so a thicker paper-stock was used to ensure the image didn’t show through to the other side of the page.

A book of poetry including illustrations, with content provided by the schoolchildren at Lingfield College in Surrey. Each drawing was scanned and cleaned up to display beautifully in this two-colour book of poems. Received with delight by teachers, pupils and parents alike.
