“We asked Mark to design a poster and flyers for our upcoming show.
It was very exciting to watch Mark's creativity bring our initial ideas into a cohesive form. He offered us lots of wonderful ideas to choose from, and had interpreted the style and the period of our play perfectly.
If any theatre company needs an eye-catching and exciting poster we would highly recommend Mark. He has been a joy to work with, and the reaction to his design has been phenomenal!”

“Mark knew somehow exactly what kind of logo I wanted straight away!
He did provide me with a couple of options, which were great, but it was easy to decide which one was the right fit for my new production company. I’m now working closely with him to produce our first film, ‘Secret Control’. It’s great working with Mark; he is so passionate about the business and helping in whatever way he can, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is needs design, creative copywriting and a strategy to make it happen.

“If you are fortunate enough to work with Mark you will discover a valuable combination of emotional intelligence, creativity and reliability.
As a website designer, he gives treasured advice on how to overhaul a website, making it easier to use and more attractive to a wider group of potential users. His flair for design has been both innovative and efficient.
Mark has also assisted me on various shoots for a new book about actors. He is blessed with the right amount of energy, flexibility and good will necessary for this work, which allows the photographer to concentrate on the subject of the session. He also understands the story.
This is very rare. There is no end to Mark’s talent.

“Mark’s approach is strategic and not just about making something look pretty. Mark will tell you what you need and is unafraid to challenge your ideas. I recommend partnering with him if you’re looking for openness and honesty.”

“You know that you’ve found a great graphic agency when they listen to you, really understand what you want to achieve then, using their expertise, deliver something that is better than you envisaged. Mark is a great graphic design agency!
Lynda Wookey, The Business Greenhouse
“But Mark is more than just a talented graphic and web designer. He always had his eye on the bigger picture i.e. our business objectives and goals.
This led to him producing a digital marketing strategy report that became our bible for ideas and planning and for that, we can’t thank him enough. I’m now looking forward to strategising with him on my passion project; creating dance club animations.”
Meirion Guyon, Light Special Effects
“Collaborative, sensitive and precise, he listens carefully and responds imaginatively to the needs of the client...he turned my rather vague ideas into something that encapsulated what I felt the project was about.
I love it so much; it’s beautiful and incorporates all the elements Ellie and I are dreaming into this production. It’s a really wonderful thing when the design fuels the artistic vision for the piece as a whole, so thank you.
Lizzie Crarer - Actor, Producer
“As I navigate a challenging industry, Mark has been instrumental in helping me realize my project through his strong connections and relationships with key people in the entertainment business.
Moreover, he is now developing a strategy to create an online buzz for my project, amplifying reach and creating anticipation with meaningful, beautiful content.”

“I brought Mark in to help our in-house design studio. It was because our workload had massively increased and to cover maternity leave. Mark has been brilliant; I could honestly not have asked for anymore.
Mark joined at a very odd time during COVID, and Mark hit the ground running. Mark’s primary role was to work with five other designers to create assets for all of B&Q and TradePoint’s digital channels. The projects included simple alterations to existing files to complete infographics, UI & UX problems and creative concepts. Mark got to grips with our systems, processes and guidelines so fast and being over 100 miles away really didn’t matter either. He is a great team player, and we hope to keep working with him in the future.”
Graeme Williams, Senior Design Leader / Manager
“Mark was recommended to us, and we were not disappointed! Having recently rebranded, we wanted to create a fresh look with our marketing material, and Mark understood our specs and needs completely.
He created a suite of brochures and flyers that were fresh and befitting of our work at the Charity.
On a personal level, Mark is very personable and professional - he goes over and above to ensure you are happy with the end product and nothing is too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark, and we will undoubtedly be returning to him again for future projects!
Deborah Saw - Operations Manager, Step Together Charity
“Finding the right Graphic Designer was always a challenge for me until I met Mark. He has a unique ability to take a general idea and turn it into an eye-catching and appropriate design.
Mark offers expert suggestions and recommendations but ultimately allows me to decide the best fit. Most recently, Mark created an Olympic-themed exhibition poster for me, which was the talk of the trade show.
I highly recommend the design artistry of Mark Horton.”
