A Straightforward website will never look like another site. That’s because the key design components are created in-house, using our original royalty free stock, and some of the most unique artwork you’ll find anywhere in the world, created by Shelley Davies, a leading artist in the field of Art collage
Collage
Shelley is our master collage artist, and over the last 20 years has been featured in dozens of magazines, books and newspapers. A recent 6 month working trip to Valencia saw her produce over 50 new pieces with a Spanish theme, many including vintage papers from the weekly El Rastro flea market, old posters, books, cards and other ephemera.
Photography
We have a royalty free library of over 7,000 images. Much of our collection has been taken over the last 60 years by 3 generations of photographers. Early photos developed from rich 35mm Ektrachrome and Fuji film have held their soft natural colours for more than half a century. Nowadays, all our photography is taken on an iPhone 7 and 8, with minimal post processing and a little cropping. Here’s a few from our collection of our modern abstract photos, with others used around the website to give you a taste of how thoughtful image use gives a Straightforwardsite such a unique look.
