Part Shelley Design
Your own research, writing, illustrations?

This section covers projects where you can supply part of the artwork and wish to utilise our skills to realise the design. Design styles vary enormously and we aim to produce interpretive panels that blend in with the environment and your intended subject matter. Sometimes clients have very clear ideas as to how the final design should look, at other times they are led by our experience!

Knutsford Town Centre

This project, funded by The Lions Club of Knutsford, provided interpretive panels for 12 historical locations within the town. The client provided electronic copies of all the pictures and wrote all the final text. Shelleys undertook the overall design of the panels including the common themed banding across the top, ensuring that they blended well into a traditional environment.

Bidstone Hill

The client provided illustrations, rough details for the map and final text from which Shelley scanned, typeset and designed both the map and overall layout of the panel. It is a simple but very usable introduction to and interpretation of the site.

'Eco' Building

One of the signs within the Tam O'Shanter sequence covered the interpretation of the intriguing 'Eco' building. This modern building lent itself to a contemporary design approach, where digital pictures of both the building and close-ups of the key features were accompanied by some explanatory text. A great deal of interpretive information is conveyed in a simple but striking panel.

Tam O'Shanter Farm

Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a sequence of panels to interpret and direct visitors around the Farm. This sign for 'the cottage' included the reproduction of old archive photographs together with text written by the client. Archive photographs can result in particularly evocative and thought provoking interpretation panels - it is a design approach that we tend to encourage.

Trafford Park History

The client provided a sequence of old archive photographs, more recent images and final text. From these, Shelley designed an interesting historical interpretive panel, which captured both the tradition and modern day developments of the site.
