The Bill Quay Community Farm Job

Keep Bill Quay Farm OpenGraphic Design you Trust, From people who Care

When David from Lighting the Landscape introduced Design Aid to Bill Quay Farm I could not believe that without some serious support they could be closing.

I set to work assessing what would be needed to get the Farm noticed and promote the Bill Quay Community Farm with vital and immediate short term results supporting the campaign and petition.

Motorcycle Racing Poster for 2012 season

Our first job of the year is often to design a new season poster to help promote the local motorbike club’s, motorcycle racing  meetings.

The North East Motorcycle Racing Club (NEMCRC) a Non Profit company and members club that has brought top class club racing to the North East for 50 years. So here it is the very first Poster design of 2012 from the Design Aid project.

These posters are used extensively by volunteers, supporters, members and riders. A short print run of A3 posters are put up in local motorcycle dealers and biker cafes etc. by volunteers while others print out a poster or two on their own inkjet printers at home to put up on notice boards at work etc. And of course, many supporters and kind individuals will re-post, tweet, like, share, email or post on forums and blogs this and other digital versions of the poster.

Please do get in touch if your project or organisation would benefit from a professionally designed poster or flyer to promote it’s events or cause. We would love to Design, help or advise in a professional capacity to support your Good Cause.

If you are local or in the Scottish borders please do download and distribute the poster on local notice boards, shops, motorcycle dealers or just across your online forums and social networks. These really are top class club race meetings, put on by a dedicated group of volunteers and they will appreciate any additional support that helps to promote and back these spectacular motorcycle race meetings.

More details about the NEMCRC can be found on their website at www.nemcrc.co.uk (also designed and hosted by Design Aid) and you can follow them on Twitter or like them on FaceBook.
