As I near my sixth month of employment here at Dibor, I feel it is time to introduce myself to the people my work is produced for.
My name is Richard Morton, my role with Dibor is to design the brochures and supplements that go out to our customers. This includes work for House Beautiful, Period Living, Ideal Home, Country Living and Country Homes & Interiors, as well as the brochures we mail directly to you.
Having been through the bedding in period, I now feel like I know the brand well. While I may not necessarily be the archetypal Dibor customer (I'm male, 26), I have to say I've found the brand really interesting to work with. The rustic character lends itself to experimentation with texture, while the French style from the early part of the last century is a dream to work with.
I will soon be commencing work on the next customer catalogue, which you can expect to receive in late April (if you are not on the mailing list, you can sign up on our website www.dibor.co.uk/cataloguerequest.asp).
I cannot wait to get started on this, and I think it will be the best yet. It will be full of brand new photography and many new products perfect for the summer months. I'm also looking at adding a one off design feature that you will not see anywhere else, but I will keep that under wraps for the time being!
It's been a great first few months with Dibor and I would love to hear feedback from anyone who has an opinion on the print output I've produced.
Positive, negative or indifferent - all feedback is good feedback, and invaluable in making sure my work is tailored especially for you.
We will be keeping regular blog updates from various members of staff, detailing the plans and upcoming developments for Dibor.
My next post will be about the recent photoshoot, including behind the scenes images and a rundown of how we achieve the stylised photography that makes up our collection.
For the time-being, I'd better get back to work.
Enjoy the sunshine if you can.
Richard
