Annette is a great expert in her field who totally understands what a design needs to communicate beyond the words. Her insights helped me to really see what my first business book could look like! It was an enjoyable and enlightening discovery process.

Annette is a highly talented designer who takes a collaborative approach and has a great understanding of editorial requirements. She is very focused, with a terrific ability to adapt her style to the needs of each project. Her positive attitude and ‘can do’ approach make her a pleasure to work with and she has been a real ally on the books we have worked on together.

Editorial Consultant

Sarah Sutton introduced me to Annette Peppis very early on in the development of my book – and thank goodness she did! Annette has been an absolutely crucial contributor to its overall success. I knew from day one that my book needed to look colourful, interesting and vibrant, and Annette, with her simply amazing design, achieved this and more. Her attention to detail and ability to interpret my ideas are second to none. Annette has been a vital part of my dream team, and I have no hesitation in recommending that she becomes part of your team too.

After four years with the same business card design I decided it was time for a change. I did not have much idea about the look of the card, but I felt that you instinctively knew the look I wanted. You submitted two designs within 24 hours, one of which I chose immediately. You advised on change of font, colour and also showed me paper swatches, telling me why you thought one was superior to another. You even liaised with the printer so the cards were delivered on time. Your professionalism and knowledge were most impressive, and I am delighted we have such a good designer on board. I would have no hesitation in recommending your creative skills to clients and friends.

In my role as Editorial Manager I commissioned Annette for design work and she produced a number of high quality and creative cover and text designs for the lifestyle and personal development list at Pearson Education. She is a pleasure to work with, following briefs closely while injecting her innovative design ideas into all projects she worked on. Her standout quality is the ability to ensure that a good-looking design onscreen translates well in print.

Julie Knight, Editorial Manager, Pearson Education

I have worked with Annette Peppis since she was Managing Designer at BBC Books, and I would recommend her highly. When I commission design she is my first choice to turn to, both for her fresh, lively layouts and her approach to enhancing the editorial needs of each project, and for her enthusiasm, positive spirit and management skills in working under tight time schedules.

Emma Shackleton, Commissioning Editor,
BBC Active

Annette works on our best-selling 101 series and has developed successful new formats for one of our key brands. She’s always friendly and enthusiastic, even under pressure from a tight schedule.

When I contacted you, the Disability Resource Team had had the same logo on all its products for 15 years, so it was definitely time to rebrand and relaunch. You were very knowledgeable, patient and honest about how you thought we should proceed. It can’t have been easy explaining logo designs to the uninitiated, but you did succeed, and even came up with new name badge inserts the same afternoon, which is totally going the extra mile. We now have a new logo, new business cards, headed paper, compliment slips and a superb new leaflet. You made the whole process so easy by seeing it through from the discussion stages to delivery of the finished products. I shall certainly use you again, and will be recommending you to my colleagues and contacts. Thank you, Annette – you’re most definitely the best.

Maurice Press, Director, Disability Resource Team

I first started working with Annette in 2008 when I set up my business. She did such a fantastic job creating my logo, letterhead and business cards that I have since gone back to her for more graphic design work… Annette is highly creative, knowledgeable and professional and her attention to detail and client care is excellent. I look forward to continuing to work with Annette as my business grows. 

Hayley Manning, HM Interior Design

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my invitation for the event at Sheen Uncovered.
I gave you very short notice, and I didn’t really have any idea what sort of thing I wanted, but you rapidly presented me with two excellent ideas, and I just had to choose between them.
I was so pleased with it, and many clients and friends have commented on how attractive and professional it looks. I am certain it enhanced the credibility and professionalism of House of Colour, Chiswick.

Thank you for responding so speedily to my needs, for producing a design that was feminine yet professional, and for easing the execution by liaising closely with the printer. I have no hesitation in recommending you as a graphic designer, as you have a wealth of experience, you come up with imaginative, cost-effective ideas, and you are easy to work with.

Joan D’Olier, Image Consultant, House of Colour

I am happy to inform you that one of your entries in the competition has been selected for an RSA-Radcliffe Award for Graphic Excellence in Music Publishing. It is: ‘The Rockschool Sessions, Cartwright/Thomas/Nicholls’. Congratulations on your success.

Christopher Lucas, Secretary, Royal Society of Arts

I would like to record my sincere thanks and appreciation for all your imagination, hard work and enthusiasm. I am sure you realised from people’s reactions how well the brochure seems to have been received…its success is due in large measure to your design. I hope we shall be able to embark on another project before too long.
