About Us

WE ARE AN ESTABLISHED CONSULTANCY that has been producing interpretive publications for nationally recognised clients across the UK since 1989.

We have the in-house skills, experience and established track record to give you whatever type of interpretive publication you need. We offer a full service, from concept to completion, and to the highest standards. We believe attention to detail is particularly important and insist upon the highest production values.

Our creative team combines the special skills of several experienced people, each with a strong track record in their own field.

Key personnel include:

Tony Bowerman BA [Hons.], Dip. Anth. DUNELM

Tony has 25 years experience as a copywriter, publisher and exhibitions' consultant.

He formerly worked in museums and as a publicity executive in the pharmaceuticals industry. Today, he specialises in tourist and visitor guides, educational material, and books.

Alongside his mainstream consultancy work, he publishes high quality guides for the tourist market and has established a growing list of popular titles under the Wordplay imprint.

His assured style, established research skills and visual understanding combine to create some memorable pieces of work. He has a flair for explaining complex subjects to adults and children in an imaginative and stimulating way. Special areas of expertise include history, natural history and the environment.

Chris Bullock, Dip. Arch.

Chris Bullock is a qualified architect in private practice. In addition to a steady flow of architectural work and lecturing commitments, he has specialised for many years in the design and implementation of interpretive projects with historical or environmental themes. His work can be seen across England and Wales - including several projects at HM Tower of London.

Chris's particular skills include exhibition and book design, diagrams and illustration. He also creates distinctive and attractive aerial picture maps - a popular feature of many orientation and interpretative panels and guides across the UK.

Shawn Stippling

Shawn is a professional designer whose company, Aquarium Graphic Design Limited, specialises in fine art catalogues, books and guides.

His design style has been honed by long experience and this is immediately apparent. The style fits the product, is visually arresting, and carries the message through visual appeal. There is also a clean appropriateness to his work. Aquarium designs stand out; yet their seemingly effortless style is the result of painstaking work.

Shawn works on Macs with industry standard software such as Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

His distinct creative flair, friendly, professional approach, and attention to detail has deservedly won him many satisfied clients across the UK.
