Set in Askett, Buckinghamshire, they are a small café and farm shop based on the grounds of a garden nursery.

Initially I was bought on board to create a website and help with a social media presence. The logo had already been designed, and I was working from that to create an identity. Alongside the website I also designed leaflets, stickers, menus and uniforms for the staff in the café.

Macbeth, UK https://ninajbain.co.uk/2003/11/14/macbeth-uk/ Fri, 14 Nov 2003 12:26:00 +0000 https://ninajbain.co.uk/?p=3238 Whilst at university, I designed a set for a traditional version of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, set in a castle and dungeon. The model was formed using white card and then additional materials were used, such as plaster and foam to build up the textures. It was finished off with painting and backlit in the university lighting studio.

White card modelling really became a passion of mine, and this is something I enjoy doing just for fun – the methods used are also a great way to create bespoke, intricate shelving for my collectables!
