All Round Excellent Experience
My friend and I asked Rob to design a poster for a Brighton Fringe Show. Rob did an awesome job. The whole experience was excellent, Rob was so easy to work with. We got some ideas and could choose the one we liked best. Rob listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the poster.
The poster even won the best poster of the Brighton Fringe Award!
Since then I always go to Rob for any design work. My experience with Rob has always been fantastic. I can’t recommend Rob enough.

Rob has a real talent for designing eye-catching posters
Rob has designed a few posters for my comedy shows and each time he has exceeded my expectations. He has a talent for coming up with original ideas that fit the narrative and they are very eye catching. I will use him again and happily recommend him.
Katherine – Comedian
High quality, competitive price and a pleasure to work with!
I cannot recommend Hydesign enough! Rob’s got loads of ideas and a great eye for colour and layout. He’s able to take my rough scribbles and turn them into powerful, eye-catching designs with ease.
Rob’s also very easy to work with. I can be quite fussy sometimes but Rob is hugely patient when I ask ‘Can that be a little bit bigger?’ or ‘Can we move that over there?’ Rob’s patience and the quality of his work are why I’ve used Hydesign for all my posters and flyers.
Michael – Performer
Consistent and efficient service
Rob has consistently and efficiently turned around multiple projects for a period of several years. He’s worked to adjust branding in a sympathetic yet contemporary way, and supported us in conveying complex information as effectively as possible.
