Bluish
Bluish is a digital design studio run by Dulcie Fulton. I've been creating refreshingly simple websites & brand identities since 1996. I can make something lovely for you too. Please get in touch for a chat.
The British Printing Society
A content-managed website for a long-standing society of printers. The old website was sprawling and often confusing. Built with Craft CMS, the new pared-down website is aimed at encouraging new members to join, with a focus on clarity of information and ease of navigation.

A suitably minimal website for a sculptor and printmaker. Clean and pared right back, each page is carefully laid out to reflect the temperature and voice of the work. This project was an absolute joy to work on.
Learning With Louis
A colourful responsive website for a Cardiff-based English tutor offering online English courses for children and adults. The fabulous illustrations are by Aysha Tengiz. No longer live.

Within a minimal layout that flexes and changes to suit all device sizes, coloured panels reflect the mood of the work. Icons distinguish video from interviews.

The Send
A modular, mutable identity for a climbing and bouldering startup. Shown here is the social (square) version.
Liz & Rob wedding invitation
A "Circus-y, fun Victorian type thing" for these two lovely, unconventional, funny people. Though not letterpress printed (alas, too tight a deadline), the invitation uses typefaces that were available as wood or metal type. I used the typographic scale for a sense of authenticity.
