Testimonials
Some of the kind words written by my clients over recent years. Note: references to ‘Shark Attack’ are referring to myself (Shark Attack being my studio’s trading name).
“Back whilst finalising my photographs for the charity book Made In Canada I worked with Rick at Shark Attack to do some imaging on the final art. He brought an abundance of expert skill and IT technical know-how to the project. Rick was instrumental in getting the job done to the standard I was looking for.”
Bryan Adams ~ Musician/Photographer bryanadams.com
“I’ve known and worked with Rick for over a decade both on traditional book design projects and online ventures. He’s a joy to work with, always quick to grasp the context and aims of any new project, and is, above all, a veritable fount of new ideas. True out-of-the-box thinkers are rare, but Rick is one of them. Oh — and he always delivers on time and to budget. Highly recommended for all design projects.”
Sue poulsen ~ Editor In Chief Pegasus Regional International
“Rick’s work is imaginative, colourful and precise. He has a huge range of talents spanning every aspect of design and content creation, and often understands what I want long before I do. He’s got the confidence and cojones to manage large and complicated projects and is a joy to work with — friendly, knowledgeable, insanely hard working and extremely flexible. And a lovely bloke, to boot!”
John Brownlow ~ Company Director Deep Fried Films, Inc. (Toronto)
“Rick Lecoat has been providing us with creative, perfectly-targeted cover illustrations for our publications for years now, and have never failed to come up with the goods no matter how tight the deadline. Such is our confidence in the studio, and in Rick’s capabilities in particular, that, during a staffing crisis, we had absolutely no qualms about asking him to step into the breach as our Interim Art Editor — a choice that we never regretted for a moment. In addition, Shark Attack’s quality of service has always been professional, helpful and friendly in equal measure, making them a pleasure to work with.”
Conorde Clarke ~ Art Editor Readers Digest Association Limited
“Shark Attack is great - quick, efficient and excellent value for money. We had quite a demanding brief and a tricky target market but the design of the material for our young people’s writing competition and also the posters of the work produced by the winners of the competition fulfilled our brief perfectly. The design complemented the aims of the competition and we have no hesitation in recommending Shark Attack.”
Rakhee Jasani ~ Arts Development Director Eastside Educational Trust
“When I needed the logo and stationery designed for our company’s rebranding, I was looking for a designer who could produce an effective design efficiently. During the work Rick was not only efficient and effective, but he was also a great communicator who was patient enough to make several rounds of changes to the logo in order to deliver precisely what we needed. Honestly, I was fortunate to come across Shark Attack; the studio has done great work for our company which has been appreciated both by myself and my clients alike.”
Nish Malwenna ~ Owner/Director UNIC UK
“We wholeheartedly recommend Shark Attack. Our first experience of working with Rick Lecoat was a very positive one — there was a constant flow of roughs and revisions between ourselves in London and our recording artist based in Los Angeles, and it took a little time to get it right, but Rick was determined to get the result that would make us and our artist happy. Which we were. Very happy.”
Peter Robinson ~ Managing Director Dome Records
