Underwater Meadow

If you ever wondered how we came up with our name, it’s from the lush North Meadow near my house in Sudbury, Suffolk. When you look at the views below, it’s difficult to conjure up an image of grazing cows and the occasional rambler following the banks of the normally-docile River Stour.

The recent snow changed all that, especially when it was joined by a huge downpour that lasted for most of Monday. The river banks have burst, and the North Meadow is more suitable for yachting than walking. Luckily — unlike in some other parts of the country — we can keep a safe distance and take bucket loads of snaps whilst chatting to the cheated walkers, who have taken to the roadside paths instead. The ducks and swans are having a field day too, dropping down out of the skies like boat-planes swooping in to land.

And after the deluge? Well, I’m on firm ground with a new website I’m building. Look out for more details on North Meadow very soon.

Quality on a Budget

Clients in the voluntary sector often need to produce a high-quality publication with a very low price tag, leaving little or no budget for new photography, illustration, distinctive print techniques or formats. We know this, and make sure that the design – or the client’s public image – does not suffer.

The Suffolk Family Carers’ Impact Report, designed by Barry Lowenhoff, is such a project. It had a very low print run and there were no funds available for new imagery. However, the final report relies upon a clean, two-colour approach with clear and often stimulating type design. As a result, it has attracted much praise from partner organisations and other SFC key audiences.
