Here For Design

A vibrant and eye-catching gift box packaging design created for Clays' Farm Press Cider, bringing together rustic branding, rich orchard-inspired colours and a premium presentation worthy of the cider inside.

Designed to showcase four fantastic local ciders – Vintage, GL16, Ow Bist and Ol' Butt – the gift box captures the heritage, character and craftsmanship of this much-loved local producer. The result is a striking retail-ready package that stands out on the shelf while celebrating the tradition of the Royal Forest of Dean cider making.

A bold and atmospheric 3m x 3m stage backdrop graphic designed for up-and-coming Kidderminster rock band RetsecroWs, creating a powerful visual identity that commands attention from the moment the band takes the stage. Distinctive branding for their performance at Call Of The Wild Festival, the backdrop provided a focal point for their live performance, photography and promotional content.

Got a telephone call from the Prestige awards yesterday asking if I'd like Here For Design to be nominated as best something or other... What utter nonsense, pathetic, who does these things?

The Pugs and I get some odd design requests... Like designing a 6ft bottle of Bud! Great job by Wye Media

Using existing location photos alongside contractor mark-ups and client requirements, we created architect-style concept illustrations that help visualise the finished project before work begins. These presentation visuals allow contractors and developers to clearly communicate proposed layouts, pathways, fencing, landscaping and overall project ideas to their own clients in a far more engaging and understandable way than technical plans alone www.herefordesign.co.uk

Here For Design has officially purchased its LAST EVER PC.

That’s it. The Windows era is over here.

I never thought I’d become “that Apple designer”… but after purchasing an Apple MacBook Air M4 13" with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD, I completely get the hype now.

This thing is ridiculous. I also got a 2TB external drive to put work files on for use with this laptop, it moved 56GB of data in under 1 minute! Insanity.

My so-called “portable” setup is now outperforming my desktop in pretty much every department. Faster workflow, smoother editing, instant wake-up, silent operation, incredible battery life and absolutely no drama.

No giant tower under the desk. No fans trying to achieve lift-off. No “Windows needs to restart to finish updates” five minutes before a deadline.

Just open the lid and work.

Honestly, I bought it thinking it would complement the desktop setup… instead it replaced it entirely.

There’s absolutely no going back now.

You’d genuinely have to prise this MacBook from my hands.

Good luck to Eddie Cann who for some bizarre reason entrusted his new venture Wye Valley Tackle Box to Here For Design to brand and launch for its grand opening tomorrow. Pretty sure he is going to knock it outta the park! Good luck mate, by the way, if anyone needs any fishing bait, word on the street is that Eddie has it ALL!

Was great to be asked to build a brand-new website for the Ross Beer & Cider Festival, which has officially launched.

Bigger, clearer and easier to use, the new site brings everything together in one place — from festival info and updates to what’s pouring, what’s playing and what’s coming next. The full list of Beers & Ciders, the food available and music timings will follow slightly nearer the event but tickets are now available to purchase from the site.

Whether you’re a real ale purist, a cider enthusiast, or just in it for the atmosphere, live music and community vibes, this is now your go-to hub.

Take a look, bookmark it, and keep an eye out as they start rolling out news and announcements…
