As a small company, we understand the importance of attention to detail and the personal touch.
Our portfolio includes projects for businesses, associations and institutions of all sizes across four core areas of expertise:
High quality design doesn’t have to mean high fees. At MCL, we create innovative design solutions that work hard for their living and add real value to a project.
Whether you’re looking for a subtly persuasive brochure, an in-your-face ad campaign or a sophisticated magazine, you’ll always deal with the designer personally. So the results will be relevant, distinctive and tailored to your exact requirements.
We can also handle almost anything else you’d care to throw at us, such as
exhibition graphics, photography and sourcing print.
So if you’d like your design budget to work as hard as you’re having to do right now,
please get in touch.
McCormick Creative does exactly what it says on the tin. With an ability to grasp our briefs with the minimum of input from us, Amanda and the team have delivered for us time and time again to the highest standard.

I worked with Amanda McCormick during my three year tenure as editor of Anaesthesia News (2006 – 2009).
Anaesthesia News is the monthly newsletter of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland,
and has a circulation of around 10,000. Amanda was already on board when I took over, having worked on
the magazine since 2003.
I was impressed every month when I sent a random selection of files
and images off to MCL and back came (on schedule) a professional, almost
finished magazine. That the magazine is colourful, vibrant and interesting
is a tribute to Amanda’s design skills. If we are unable to supply our own
images, she always sources something apt and interesting. A particular
triumph was a composite photographic cover she designed for a special
anniversary issue. Of equal importance to any editor is the ability to meet
deadlines, incorporate last minute changes, and get the job done
cheerfully, come what may. This is accomplished every month with apparent ease.
As I have recently stepped down, Amanda is now working with her third
editor of Anaesthesia News. I think I can speak for the others that we all
have a high regard for Amanda. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Since September 2003, the National Association of Funeral Directors has been using the services of Amanda McCormick of McCormick Creative Ltd for the design and layout of its annual Conference registration form and other documents, together with its monthly journal, The Funeral Director Monthly.
Amanda is innovative and proactive, ensuring that The Funeral Director Monthly remains interesting, fresh and attractive to read. Without a doubt, Amanda has been very instrumental in the success of the magazine which, during the last five years, has been a finalist in the Trade Association Forum Best Practice Awards in the category of Magazine of the Year on four occasions. We have always found Amanda to be professional and helpful, pulling out all the stops on very tight deadlines. We would not hesitate to recommend Amanda and her company.

The Brief A design brief is vital to every project, it gives us essential information on your company, it's products and services. Let us know what you are hoping to achieve and who you are hoping to target with the finished product. If you have any examples of material you like (or hate!) this will help the process. Try not to be too specific, a rough idea will help get our creative juices flowing more than one set in stone.
Lets Discuss It's always best if we can arrange a face to face meeting to start with, but we will work electronically if you prefer.
Budget Your budget will determine the amount of time and materials you wish us to take on any particular project. What you can achieve for £500 is very different to £5000, but we are happy to work within your parameters, whatever they are.
Making a start We usually work with your supplied copy, but can arrange this for you if not. You can supply us with your own high resolution images, or we can source appropriate ones for you. From this we will supply you with initial designs, either as pdf proofs or mounted boards if you need them for meetings. Thereafter the process of designing and reviewing continues until you are happy with the final look.
Final output We can arrange printing for you or supply you with print ready files.
Please feel free to get in touch with us using the contact details below. We will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
