This is the design work for the Calvert Turner CD.
I did a logo and the booklet design for them.
‘ Thanks so much for the logos! Perfect stuff, definitely all we need and many many thanks! ‘ Ellie
‘ I’m loving all your work on this! Many thanks indeed! It’s terrific, we’re definitely on the right track with the high contrast stuff, blending into the black background. All looking absolutely great - love the swirls, logo etc! Millions of thanks, we’re really excited about it as it’s looking wonderful.’ Eleanor & Rowie

I designed and illustrated Splimple’s Heartstrings range.
This is what Splimple say: These six cards are versatile enough to work equally well in celebrating love, anniversary or valentines. Alice’s quirky designs are complemented by some very Splimply words ... in the ordinary but intimate language of people who are in love.
The cards are printed on a high quality eco-friendly board, measuring 8ins x 5ins - and with an eye-catching spot varnish on the main text. They have individual bar codes and are wrapped in a heavier than standard cello wrap which opens out to reveal a brief internal sentiment.
‘Alice – thanks for the work. I’ve really enjoyed the process and hope we can work together again soon’ Stuart Caldwell, Splimple 07/11/2008
