MAS | About Me

Mission

If you are a publisher requiring assistance to meet a deadline,
a design studio in need of a fresh perspective
or a business owner looking for a cost effective advertising campaign,
I have the experience and expertise to get the job done, on time and on budget.

So... who am I?

My name is Derek, I am an accomplished graphic designer with over 12 years experience in design and publishing. I deliver an efficient and effective design service on any print or digital project. I have worked in large and small studios as well as freelance - this has given me wide and varied experience that will ensure your project will run smoothly.

Time and Money

My low cost, convenient and reliable design service will give your company added productivity and help you meet tight deadlines without the higher cost of hiring a full-time or agency designer. Some clients use my service for a couple of days per month others, a week at a time - I am also available for evenings and weekends.

Flexible

I currently have several clients who utilise my advertising design service - Working from my studio, clients email me job details and I return their artwork within 24 hours.
I also work at clients premises, usually on busier occasions such as print deadlines or when they are starting a new project.

My Credentials

I've had the privilege of working in some of the country's most highly regarded design and publishing studios, namely PSP Publishing home of Bunkered Magazine and Wyvex Media home of Scottish Field Magazine. In addition to advert and page design, I was responsible for creating all marketing campaigns, from flyers to exhibition stands, gaining vital experience in blending efficiency with creative flair.

Magazine Design

As well as working for some of Scotlands best know magazine titles, such as Scottish Field and Bunkered Magazine, I have also project managed and designed local titles and produced quality artwork for publishers on a freelance basis.

Advert Design

Working directly with clients as well as creating designs for publishers and design studios, I have a wide range of experience for producing effective advertising designs across all print media. For convenience and efficiency I work from my studio, returning final artwork within 24 hours.

Website Design

Be it an online shop, a basic website with 5-10 pages or a larger website with CMS integration, I have the knowhow to create a website to showcase your business to potential customers. I work closely with clients throughout the design process to ensure their vision is realised.
