"Having seen Dan's work, I knew he was the designer we needed. Dan created amazing graphics from photos of insects for our pollinator trail, which we had engraved onto metal plaques and used in our publications, website and in the trail's augmented reality app. The designs have been much admired. From start to finish, Dan was a pleasure to work with."

"Dan has regularly worked with Dalton Piercy Parish Council and has created colourful information boards for our eleven acres of nature reserve. He is a gifted designer, generous with his advice and time; a pleasure to work with. He intuitively understood the type of design that would both enhance the public's knowledge and enjoyment of the natural environment in our village nature reserve."
Lyn Noble, Parish Councillor, Dalton Piercy Parish Council

Site signage comes in many forms, from simple way-markers to detailed welcome signs that blend brand identity with essential visitor information.
