It’s always better to be yourself than to follow the crowd

The Red Dot Gallery - Instagram

Shane has worked with Colin, the Red Dot Gallery owner, to create a classy yet fun grid for the social media account. Shane films the owner doing a regular 'skit' wearing new hat each time from the local charity shop - with seaside postcard style 'gossip' taking the art world seriousness away from the gallery setting, but still with high class design and graphics to appeal to the demographic that frequents the premises.

Social media is - as stated - supposed to be social; Shane and Colin are conscious not to bombard viewers with 'advertising', making sure that the Instagram is enthralling, entertaining and ultimately enjoyable. Without downplaying the exquisite quality and skill of the artists involved that are shown at the gallery.

Shane's light-hearted filmed segments, with Colin's wonderful showmanship (that seaside postcard style 'gossip' quickly reverts to serious discussion about the latest art) showcase the gallery's collections in a rewarding style for those that follow the account.

Worstead Festival - Social Media

The Worstead Festival is legendary; over 50 years the 'King of village fêtes' a countryside gathering entirely organised by volunteers that makes over £20,000 for charities and local good causes each event - this is situated in a very small village in East Anglia, England.

Shane took over the social media account after lock-down in the hope to persuade people to return and enjoy the countryside attractions once more and continue in the good work of the festival charity. It was a resounding success.

The social media is a bright and breezy catalogue of information, designed for instant recognition, ramped up as the once yearly festivities approach.

Shane's social media work finished after the 2024 festival.

Worstead Station - Platform artwork

Loan Box and Gallery, plus station platform artwork.

The top half of the of telephone box has been turned into an art gallery, the bottom half is a book exchange library. Designed by Shane and co-ordinated with the Parish.

The station has artwork collages created especially to enhance the small village platform. Shane worked with various groups; the local preschool and primary school and other local artists - taking their drawings and collaging them into community artworks in a distinctly Shane style.

Broadland Gallery and Framers

Broadland Gallery and Framers is a high class framing establishment in Norfolk. Catering to artists and galleries putting on exhibitions that need to be uniform and coherent, to customers enjoying their artwork and wanting exciting neon frames to ping from their walls.

The galleries logo and social media have been tweaked and designed to compliment their framing skills.

Salhouse - Village Map

12 local landmarks illustrated and, a walking map designed to the satisfaction (or not) of the parish council committee - printed up and placed in four prominent positions to help the community and visitors navigate the pathways and areas of natural beauty.
