Testimonials
Here are comments from some of our clients.
Ian Clapperton: SPPA: Director of Operations and Scheme Manager [NHS and Teachers] Pensions in Scotland.
We were delighted with the input in the design
of our web site. Our pension scheme members made very favourable comments
about the web pages during a recent survey. Employers [such as GPs and GP
practice managers] also make regular use of the site and find the layout
easy to follow.
A quick response to requests for updates can be relied upon and suggestions on how we can improve things. In the early days of our relationship our staff given the necessary skills and training to make web site changes,
and the training skills were very evident. Overall SPPA are delighted with
the service and will continue to make use of these
services in the future.
David Grey: Principal: Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools
I have just received my copy of the Merchant Maiden 2007, and have spent much of the weekend enjoying it and perusing its pages. I think it is the best one we have produced since I arrived in 2000, and I am very grateful to you, as ever, for the quality of design, which I think is quite exceptional. I have rarely seen a standard so uniformly high across all aspects of the magazine, whether the artwork, design, photography or the quality of the written word, and you must take great credit for the role you play in its production.
Maureen Ferrier: Head of Communications - Scottish Higher and Further Education Funding Council.
Patrick O' Connell designed the new Scottish Funding Council's web site in 2005 to a very tight brief, but he brought imagination, innovation and style to pages which are content-heavy and with little scope for illustration. He brought everything in on time on a tight schedule - even when we dithered, maintained perspective at all times, produced solutions which we are able to use but most of all was fun to work with.

Last but not least, I would like to express my thanks to you for all your help with Platinum exhibition at the Royal Museum of Scotland.

Dianne Tullis: Project Manager Improvement & Support Team Scottish Executive Health Department
The Doing Well by People with Depression Programme, a Scottish Executive funded initiative, commissioned a DVD to highlight some of the successes of the project. The production of the DVD was performed according to tight timescale's and various changes to the product were necessary at a late stage in the process. Design for Screen were heavily involved in bringing together various strands of the production into the final product. Patrick O'Connell provided timely and effective support in the editing, design and programming of the final product and was flexible and efficient in turning around requested changes during the production process. The DVD was launched on time in March 2006.
