Highly recommended, for anything from design work to pet portraits!! And you couldn't find a nicer person to do business with :-)
We commissioned Angela Shawcroft of Alf Designs for our wedding stationery and found this a completely 'hassle-free' experience. Her artwork for the invites was just as we had wished and there was no problem at all with the design, printing or end product. Additionally, delivery was spot on time; a real bonus when there is so much to organise for a wedding - something we could 'tick off' the endless list of things to remember, thanks to Angela. Great job! John & Margaret Franey, Sheffield
Angela has a talent which i have never known before, she is an excellent graphic designer and helped me in many ways to build pages. She is also a brilliant artist. She helps out with many local charities and assists in anything she can for a really reasonable price. I will continue to use her talents as much as i can.
Angela is an extremely talented and professional graphic designer. She can work with the most brief description of requirements and still deliver excellent quality at an affordable price. I would recommend Angela for any graphic design work.
Angela designed excellent quality wedding invitations at a fair price. Very well designed and with excellent level of detail. Was very understanding to my needs. Would recommend.
Angela designed and produced my wedding stationery in June 2011. The attention to detail was brilliant and the finished products were very good value for money. I would highly recommend Angela and Alf Designs to everyone. Sarah Wadsworth
Angela I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful wedding stationery & wedding album that you designed for us. We were delighted with the very high quality, care and attention to every small detail you put into our designs.Everyone has commented on the wedding album being so beautifully made, I will be recommending you to everyone.
Angela designed all of our wedding stationary to the very highest standard. She moulded our design ideas into something that went way beyond our expectations and we simply fell in love with. We can't thank her enough and definately want to recommend her design service to everyone.
Angela produced excellent quality wedding stationery at a fair and reasonable price. Crisp and sharp classic design with an excellent level of attention to detail. Would certainly recommend.
Angela has that extra special talent to interpret ideas to produce unique designs and come up with the goods!
I first contacted Angela when looking for a local graphic designer to assist with the creation of logos for our company with the possibility of additional work. She is professional, excellent value for money and highly creative. She took what was an extremely brief statement of requirements and came up with a selection of logos that surpassed our expectations. We are currently discussing further collaborative working and would recommend her and Alf Designs to anyone without reservation.
