Design
Photography
A well designed panel, using contemporary layouts and images such as photographs, illustrations, diagrams and maps all create an attractive interpretation. Interpretation has to be read quickly and easily. Good design and layout will aid this.
We use photographers who know wildlife and know their species. Photographers who love being outdoors, who get out of bed early to catch that early morning sunrise‌ in all weathers! Or we are happy to work with images supplied by you.

Illustration When you need to explain something almost impossible to imagine, such as a slice through of a habitat or species difficult to photograph, we work with illustrators who can imagine slicing their way through even the most rugged of landscapes.
Brand Guidelines We look after your brand! We have worked with organisations such as The National Trust, English Heritage and the Wildlife Trusts, who all use strict guidelines to ensure the correct use of their brand.
Illustrators who are experts in their own field ensuring your panel is accurate.

Accessibility
3
Making your interpretation accessible to everyone is a standard practice that will help you reach more people. To make sure your interpretation is legible, consideration to minimum text size, maximum line length in a block of text, background colour and contrast of the text, will all enhance your prospects of communicating to people with sight impairments and indeed... those who don’t!

Telling your story The essence of any interpretation! Writing effective, accurate, lively and succinct text will help communicate your story and create an effective interpretation display. We work with copywriters who know their stuff when it comes to wildlife, history, geography and topography. Or you may of course prefer to write your own text.
Frames, stands and displays Choose from a range of systems or bespoke, hand–made displays. Choose your material: hardwood, softwood, stainless steel, galvanised steel and recycled materials – lecterns, upright structures and unique, bespoke display systems.
