getting your ducks in a row
Growing and developing a relationship with a client is very rewarding.
Being on-hand for a start-up business and helping it grow and succeed
gives a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Getting it right means a happy client
and a happy client is a receptive client.
Those positive relationships cover associates in related industries too,
and I have gathered to me a fine bunch of trustworthy characters who
bolster the work I do.
It’s basically a win-win for everybody.
Design is first and foremost the primary part of Enigma.
Everything produced at sometime or another has passed through the
gifted hands of a talented designer. Creation of visuals from ideas is
fundamental, and I aim to provide the most innovative and
appropriate work possible.
Producing work within the constraints of narrow parameters is always
a challenge but I encourage clients to go further. Don’t be held back
by convention. Free yourself from the shackles of mediocrity. Allow
the bird of expression to fly, unencumbered, from the hand of
patronage and explore the boundless horizons of expression.
a shining light of hope
in the wilderness of despair…
OK, maybe not, but as an introduction to the enigma that is Enigma, it serves as an appetiser.
There is no showcase of previous projects, the intention here is to give you a feel for the type
of work produced, the services provided and the funfair ride of fun and lightheadedness that
you could encounter.
25 years of experience, a philanthropic disposition and a unique way of viewing humanity all
combine within my happy psyche to produce what I call “work”.
However, don’t let the apparent flippant attitude fool you; I enjoy my life and my work but
clients always receive an utterly professional service.
Or something. Just don’t be boring.
One trick pony? I don’t think so.
Enigma offers the full range of services of any large
agency, but I do it with lower overheads and with an
affable adroitness that would make King Soloman look
like a feeble-minded loon.
Go on, have a look.

Brand identity is where it all begins.
Flexible and apprioriate, to project the company
image through all modern media. And that’s just
the start. All subsequent materials and projects
need to be handled with the same consumate
skill and utter deftness.
Being ambidexterous would help.
illustration
Often overlooked as a visual
aid, illustration of the right
style can enhance your
message just as much as a
well composed photograph.
Sometimes, far more liberties
can be taken with illustration
than other media as there is
no limit to what can be
transposed to paper from the
artist’s mind.

repro & print
The finished product (usually). High
resolution digital manipulation and
proofing, litho, screen and large
format print all carried out by
competent companies eager to
please; like a wide eyed puppy.
Their investment in both staff
and equipment has resulted in
an eclectic mix of bodies, able to
cope with the greatest demands.
All this high-tech gadgetery ensures
when printers weave their inky magic,
the quality shows. When the product
looks good, so do you.

Websites and solutions galore while taking the
mystery out of the often crippling confusion that
website creation generates. Complex, yes, but
that’s all the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Design, deliver and develop is the matra. Sites
and solutions that not only look good but grow
with you.
Now that’s progress.

A sample of clients who have all been exposed to my unique
charms and yet experience the same level of service be they
large or small.
Size doesn’t matter.
And this isn’t everyone.
Oh no.
a thousand words…
There’s a world of difference between taking a picture and
making a photograph - it’s the difference between merely
looking and really seeing. It’s about improving or altering
perception; sometimes it’s about transcending reality.
In the words of Ansel Adams: “There is nothing worse than a
sharp image of a fuzzy concept”.
It’s a hobby.

And this is how to get hold of me.
Also available on request are recommendations of companies
and individuals I trust to serve in the same professional manner.
All remain fiercly independent with no financial ties or
connections which means no “mark-up” of prices and so the
cost savings are passed on to you, the lovely, lovely client.
If you want something not mentioned or covered on the site, by
all means just ask.
Nothing weird or illegal though eh?

photography
All work commissioned is entrusted to well
established, local photgraphers, chosen for their
creativity, efficiency, integrity and generosity
with biscuits.
Utilising the very best in digital equipment, like
itinerent serial killers, the “go anywhere,
shoot anything” philosophy means a very
open mind and unbounded
enthusiasm.
