In The Spirit Of Duke
album packaging design based on a great piece of original artwork by Anmalo for the cover, this extended digipak (incl. slip case and booklet) completed the circle for me after having been involved in the concerts’ print and digital advertisement last year for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.

Programming the ultimate Ellington
Completing the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra‘s promotional concert package, the Duke Ellington series gets its concert programme, which will be handed out to audiences on the nights. We attempted a faded, aged look, continuing the theme of red and gold that was already used in the Marketing campaign.
The TSYJO celebrates
flyer and poster campaign The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra is celebrating its 10 year anniversary – and goes on tour! We’ve always been very closely involved with this fabulously talented Scottish orchestra, running their website, email campaigns and designing album artwork…
SNJO print promo: Celebrating Michael Brecker
