Website Solutions & Print Design in Norfolk
This booklet started off as separate sheets per outing when I first worked on it in 1987! Here we are 31 years later and still producing this for North Walsham based Nenta Traintours but it’s now a glossy, full colour 40 page booklet (and has been for many years). Beautifully printed by Barnwell Print of Aylsham.
I had a great time working my way through all the amazing Jukebox photos for this website. I originally started producing work for Viv at “All you need is Jukes” about 6 years ago when the first website was produced using my existing content management system but this year we discussed options and it became apparent it was time to upgrade the website to run on a WordPress based website and upgrade the hosting to SSL (with the padlock) to meet the required modern standards for security, Google search engine optimisation and to be responsive to the various devices now in common use such as smart phones, tablets, computers and smart TVs.
Wordpress with a premium theme and some time customising made this relatively easy to achieve. Viv at “All you need is Jukes” also set about hiring a professional photographer to take new photos to show of these lovely vintage jukeboxes he restores and sells, to maximum effect. I’d love one of these in my living room.

Having fun with “Illustrator” for the illustrations and design of the new Western Star records release. A compilation of 25 tracks of rare and unreleased recordings from Western Star Recording Studio called “Rockin’ at The Lost & Found”. You can’t beat a bit of pink ‘n’ black for a rockabilly record cover!!!!
I do a lot of work for Western Star Recording Company in ‘Wild West’ (well Somerset actually!). Loads of really cool rockabilly, psychobilly and rock ‘n’ roll bands record there and every now and again they release a themed compilation which requires a themed cover as opposed to one representing a specific band which is always fun. The brief on this one from Alan was a bunch of cool guitars floating in space. So here we go, all done and dusted and with the pressing plant for release in a few weeks time.
I’m proud to complete another local design and print job. The North Walsham & District Community Archive 2019 calendar joins its predecessors. A 2 colour, litho printed, 32 page A4 calendar of North Walsham and local district scenes, photographed by local photographers, supported by local advertisers, produced in North Walsham (yep, that’s me!) and printed locally. You be hard pressed to find a more community created product. It’s useful, collectable and top quality. I really hope that many people will keep copies of these calendars for years to come as they will then preserve North Walsham’s photographic heritage for future generations. Which is, after all, what the North Walsham and District community archive group was set up to achieve.
