Over the years, together we’ve dabbled in graphic design, photography + film work, illustration, and web design + code, trading first as sole traders with our own small businesses, then combining them to form a partnership under the name Lightbulb Head. Since having children we’ve folded the business so aren’t currently earning money from our creativity, but that hasn’t stopped us from creating.
In this section there’s a selection of some of the projects that we’ve worked on over the years – scroll down for the most recent, or use the categories on the left to see specific projects.

Kiri designed this flyer for our church and Steve took the photo. There had been a deliberate request that specific dates and times of services weren’t included on the flyer, so that it could be re-used for future years.

In 2019 we re-designed the logo of St Paul and St Stephen’s church, Gloucester. The three themes that the congregation wanted to be communicated through the logo were the physical location, community and transformation. The shape and angle of the main cross that runs through the centre of the new logo is directly taken from a map of the crossroads on Stroud Road, at which St Paul and St Stephen’s stands. The OS map symbol for a church can be seen in the top left quadrant of the cross, in the exact position in which the church can be found if the logo is viewed as a map. The main cross shape shows that Jesus is at the centre of the church and community. In a lighter shade of green, four arrows point towards the centre, these symbolise inclusivity and welcome, inviting people from all walks of life to join the church. Viewed along with the four circles in darker green, these arrows become people with their arms raised in praise. The colour green represents growth, renewal and new life. Green is also the colour used to represent ‘ordinary time’ within the church year.

In 2017, we wrote a small python script for a RaspberryPi that would take a photo every 15 minutes in the daytime (calculated based on the python astral library) using an attached webcam and add a watermark and upload the picture to the web. Then, once a month in the hours of darkness, the code would generate a video timelapse (averaging the white balance of each picture) and upload that to the web. In 2018, we set up a raspberry pi and webcam in the orchard at Penhurst Retreat Centre and set it going… with limited success! The above is one of the resulting videos where the whole month worked!

In 2018 we re-designed and re-wrote the website for St Paul and St Stephen’s church in Gloucester. This was our first “mobile-first” web design where we designed it first for mobile devices, then adapted it for larger screens. We drew on much of the functionality of the St Mark’s website – the events calendar, the highlights on the front page, but we also brought the latest sermon recording onto the front page too. We also wanted all of the key information for a new visitor visible on every page, so we designed the footer of each page to have service times, contact details and a map of where the church is

We were commissioned to re-write a website for a private tutor. The previous iteration of the website had many different illustration of a compass, but these were from different sources and in different styles. So our customer asked Kiri to put together a set of compass illustrations that would be more consistent and uniform for the new site.
