Kiri designed this flyer for our church’s Messy Church gathering. The illustration was also created by Kiri and the logo was used in line with Messy Church logo guidelines

We created a small A6 flyer with details of our church’s Christmas services. The photo was taken by Steve the previous winter and Kiri did the graphic design

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.

We were given a brief to re-write the website for a private tutor trading as Compass Tutoring. As the previous website was already pretty nicely designed, we created a custom WordPress theme, retaining most of the existing design elements and only making a few tweaks in terms of alignment of elements. The biggest change we made was to make it responsive, so that it displays well on any size screen. We also added a blog and some minimal social media sharing buttons on blog posts.

We designed the logo for St Mark’s Church in Kennington, London in 2015. We circulated a questionnaire around the congregation with regards to how the church views itself and what the important aspects of its culture are. A multitude of responses were received, reflecting the diversity of the congregation, but one key, consistent aspect cropped up again and again; that of welcome. After throwing a few ideas down on paper, we settled on the concept of an open door with light flowing ou, incorporating the shape of the church, as it has quite a recognisable silhouette. Along with the new logo we put together a pared-down style guide containing a suggested, consistent colour palette to use for all printed media and electronic media.

Charles Bridge in Prague is known for its hustle and bustle, but one of the most striking memories of my first visit to Prague in the 1990s was the beauty and tranquillity of the bridge. In order to re-discover that tranquillity, we got up early one morning on our travels to capture the golden morning light and the transition from stillness to bustle. Surprisingly, the quietest time on Charles Bridge wasn’t at 5:30 when we arrived, but around 6:30. From then, it just got busier until the stalls were all set up and the crowds had reached their mean daytime density by 10:15am, at which point we stopped the camera. 12fps using shots taken every 10 seconds for around 4 and a half hours

In 2014 Kiri was commissioned by Penhurst Retreat Centre to design a paper brochure. The graphic design was done by Kiri and photos were taken by both Steve and Kiri

Whilst travelling around Europe, we stopped at Belgrade Bible college where we were asked to re-write their website. We’ tried to retain the general feel of the site, whilst making minor improvements where possible. We added a videos page, a calendar page (simple embed of a Google calendar), a blog, used consistent icons for the contact page and embedded a Google map on their contact page. We also created one stylesheet behind the whole site rather than having individual page stylesheets (as the old site did), which should help to improve consistency of pages across the site. Oh, and did we forget to mention that the site had to operate in both Serbian and English? Gotta love a bit of a challenge!

As we travelled around Europe in our trusty motorhome Bertha, we had originally planned to accompany our blogging with a video diary too. We got to video number 3 and realised that actually we were spending just as much time editing the video as we were living the experience, so we carried on filming, but left the editing until our return to the UK. And then life happened… so here are the 3 original videos. There may be more in future (as we are sitting on over 40 hours of footage!) but possibly in a different format

The brief for this church website was to make it easy to keep up to date – so key to this was adding functionality that would always display the most up to date information on the front page – what was happening this week, what the events were that were coming up and what the latest news was. The easiest way to tackle the first without writing a whole calendar framework was writing an integration with Google calendar, so those in the church office could just keep the Google calendar up to date rather than having to update the website directly – the latest iteration of this code is on GitHub
