What is the pathway of least resistance that your customers need to take to do business with you? ‘Hi, my name is Andrew.’ is a very simple statement, and yet it comes with a lot of meaning.

On being good at your job.
My wife and I were just watching a garbage truck roll past and take the two bins from the side of the road and put the rubbish in. She described it as being ‘like a computer game’ because the driver needed to precisely manouver the mechanical arm of the truck from his driving seat, grabContinue reading “On being good at your job.”
Church Flyer Design : It’s all about relationships
In the last year I typically have seen in church flyer design be either an abstraction or a rock concert. Here’s how I designed for our Church’s Christmas services this year.
