Wildflower Meadow

Trafford Ecology Park commissioned a sequence of natural history interpretive panels. With themes covering the Wildflower Meadow, Pond and The Lake, all of the panels featured interpretative illustrations designed by Shelley. The client provided an agreed amount of text and a list of individual species - the concept and design work was then undertaken by ourselves..

National Trust, Gibside

The buildings on the Gibside Estate are derelict and the aim of this project was to bring the ruins to life for the public using interpretive panels. The story of the Estate was told through the eyes of key individuals who lived there in the Estate's heyday - for example, a day in the life of a stable boy. The text was complemented by large striking illustrations and the signs mounted in cedar frames complete with sandblasted natural history pictures. Full research, scripting and illustrative work undertaken by Shelley.

Corston Quarry

As a complete contrast to the illustrative approach described on the above two interpretive panels this sign was designed and produced using a sequence of photographs from Dave Hollis of Wildscape. This bold and striking panel works very effectively and results in a very different style..

Bird Hide

One of a pair of Bird Identification interpretation panels. They are positioned just outside the viewing window and the design approach was to be simple yet memorable. Designed to be used by inexperienced or young 'twitchers', the panels provided some brief descriptive text as well as the images.

Trans Pennine Trail

This was one of 30 interpretative panels designed and produced by Shelleys. Each panel included a standard design for the top and bottom of the panel with a range of images and an UK wide map. The remainder of the panel was individual to each location with an area specific map, individual text and photographs.
