Ray Lipscombe
After 23 years in the graphic design environment, I can help out with any problems or questions you may have. I work closely with a PR expert, a number of quality local printers, a website builder and with in-house photography, all angles are covered.
If you want 'Cheap as Chips, instant print' design then I am probably not your man, however if you require a quality creative solution without the agency hype or cost then I will be able to help. The cost and 'unapproachability' of many larger agencies can be an obstacle to achieving what you really want. Quite often it is them telling you what you need. With minimal overheads I can offer good value and with 23 years agency and freelance experience I am confident in my ability to produce agency quality end results.
This positioning has helped many of my clients. Read what they have to say at http://www.lipscombe.info/raylipscombe-grd.html

I have known Ray as a colleague and supplier for approximately 15 years. During that time I have been a Senior Partner in a Creative Consultancy called Vista, a Board Director of TLG Marketing and latterly an Independent Direct Marketing Consultant. Ray has provided a valuable freelance resource to me in all 3 of these situations. At all times I have found him to be been utterly trustworthy and completely reliable, to the extent where I have, at times, considered him as an ideal candidate for a permanent position within the various organisations with which I have been involved ? unfortunately I was unable to tempt him. Such was his loyalty to his other clients. In particular Ray has demonstrated imagination, design ability and experience in balanced measures that have contributed greatly to the successful outcome of many creative projects that we have worked on together

I first met Ray in 1987. From that day I knew he was one of the most gifted designers I have had the privilege of working with, and we have worked closely together ever since.
Over the years, Ray has turned his hand to many disciplines from slick magic marker visualising right the way through to creating complex PhotoShop artwork, namely for clients such as Symantec, Littlewoods, BBC and Intel, producing Campaign storyboards, Corporate identity, Brochures and Direct mail.
In my capacity as Creative Director for a number of agencies, whenever I have required extra creative firepower, I always turn to Ray as my first port of call. I can honestly say, that he is one of the very few freelancers who have never let me down. To this day we still work closely together.
A real pro and a joy to work with

I have been working with Ray since 2005. I met him while running Bibury Court Hotel. I commissioned Ray to re-design and modernise our old identity, but still retain a country manor feel. After this successful project he subsequently produced a series of ads, a new brochure and website design all of which helped the hotel raise its profile locally, nationally and internationally.
After leaving Bibury Court, I have since set up 2 new businesses (The Royal Well Tavern in Cheltenham and The Wheatsheaf Inn in Northleach) and project managed the very successful launch of The Kingham Plough. Ray was instrumental in the design, photography and print of all these projects.
Easy to work with and goes that extra mile for a professional job
