Nick Alderson has been working as a self-employed graphic designer / photographer since 1992.
Alderson Consulting is a new incarnation of Nick's original business: "Graphics by Nick Alderson", a small graphic design / photographic studio servicing local companies, advertising agencies & printers.
The name change aspires to be indicative of the broader range of IT based services now supplied, world-wide, by the company.
A graduate of what is now The University of Central Lancashire, Nick gained a degree in graphics (BA Hons). He's worked for many and diverse enterprises within the industry. Experienced in such areas as: book and newspaper layout, package design, posters, record & CD covers, large
catalogues to single page fliers. In his time he's specialised in producing artwork for beer pumps, large-scale POS ads. for stores, screen process printing and technical drawing for print-finishing, cutting tools & RF welding. With the exception of film & TV he's done it all!
"Graphics by..." was by no means his first venture into self-employment but this last move was brought about as a result of frustration with the lack of business sense displayed by the other
partners at the advertising agency he left in 1992. Nick decided to go to night-school & learn how to properly run a small enterprise while launching a new one. To this end he bought a PC in 1995 & went back to night-school to learn the basics.
As time went by Nick found himself concentrating more on PC based graphics & presentations rather than the print based traditional artwork & visualisations he'd done in the past. This proved both lucrative & fascinating. Consequently the nature of the services provided by his company changed, hence the new name: Alderson Consulting.
