This booklet is to help promote the work of the Deaconesses within the Presbyterian Church. It folds down to a handy A6 (pocket size), includes a daily prayer diary, and opens up into a poster for church notice boards.
Every home in North Belfast should be getting a copy of this over the coming weeks - a simple 8 page A4 full colour newssheet. This is the second edition this year.
Shown here are just two examples (Ulster Tatler full page ad, and A5 card with spot silver ink) from the promotional campaign for this year's Christmas Fayre at McKee's. More examples to be posted here soon - the event is this weekend!
As part of the campaign, a new gift voucher format was created. It's a simple 1/3 A4 wallet, printed in metallic bronze ink, inside which is a card with a till receipt (to the value of the purchased amount) neatly slotted in to two diagonal cuts.

If you've made it this far, the chances are that you've clicked through from the revamped www.markthompsondesign.com. It's dead simple, really just a large image gallery with 16 examples of work from a cross-section of my portfolio, plus a series of links that direct you off into different areas of my online activities. Hopefully your arrival here also means that somewhere among those 16 projects you saw something that impressed you enough to find out more. I've got lots more work that I need to update here to the blogfolio sometime soon. Keep checking back, and get in touch.
I've been asked if some of my work can be included in the forthcoming third edition of Type Rules! The designer's guide to professional typography! I'm honoured (maybe as it's an American book I should spell that as honored?) to have been approached by the author, Ilene Strizver - the book should be out in March 2010. The current edition is available here on Amazon.com.
This book will be printed over the summer and launched in early Autumn. A nice opportunity to do some more heritage based design work. Click the graphic to view at a larger size.
