Page 16 • The HERALD • 8th December 2022 v SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE HERALD v WATERSIDE NETWORK GROUP: MEMBER FOCUS by Simon Chadwick Over the past eighteen months I’ve written about many of the Waterside Network Group members, but I’ve not yet written about my business. So, please allow me to introduce you to Ceratopia. Ceratopia o ers graphic design and illustration to clients locally, nationally and, on occasion, internationally. Having been established for over een years on the Waterside, you’ll have come across much of the work we’ve done. You may have ordered from the menus we created for e ai Corner Restaurant, used the services of e Waring Partnership where we put together the branding or seen the recently updated Parish Council logo we developed. For over ten years now we’ve worked with Longdown Activity Farm to produce their lea ets, adverts, signage and a swathe of cartoons. You may have had cause to read the Paultons Park guidebook we created, or even ride on the Dino Chase rollercoaster that we were involved with. Further a eld, we’ve designed children’s activity parks for brands as diverse as TGI Fridays, Eurotunnel and Arsenal FC. Althoughwe create for a range of clients, from care homes to engineering, we’re o en called upon to design and create for the family or children’s market. Our family friendly style, and plenty of hands-on experience, makes us ideally suited for that work. You may also be aware of my children’s books, many of which are published under Ceratopia Books. I’ve created over forty books now, many of which are available direct from e Herald o ce, and local shops such as Toys Ahoy, Dibden Purlieu Post O ce, Blissful, and at Longdown Activity Farm. You can also nd many of the books at: www.ceratopiabooks.co.uk. Visit the Ceratopia website, mentioned opposite, to see the sort of things we do, and, if you think we could help your business, please do get in touch.
