Regan Flint

I just received three very beautiful professionally taken concert photos of Peter Gabriel on his recent i/o tour. The photos were printed on top quality photo paper and I received them in 6 business days! These photos were well priced, less than what I’ve seen on other photo sites like Getty Images, etc. I highly recommend Luckham Creative for all of your photo needs.

Personal Touch Home Cleaning (Ottawa, Ontario)

I so enjoyed working with Julian to create my new website. He came very highly recommended by a friend of mine, someone who used to be a web designer herself and who is very particular, so I knew I was in good hands. Julian has the experience, knowledge and creativity and using that he took my ideas and content and made great suggestions and improvements to create Personal Touch Home Cleaning‘s new web site, and even tweaked my logo giving it more strength and better flow… who knew. If you need a website, or an adjustment to your logo, Julian’s your man!.

Leslie Vryenhoek Communications (Newfoundland and Labrador)

As a freelance and contract writer, I have worked with Julian on a range of print projects. His ability to take what too often amounts to a wheelbarrow full of text and turn it into an appealing, readable and polished piece always amazes me. He has an excellent eye for design, and because he has a keen ability to contextualize the material, can rapidly find creative solutions to problems. Julian is also unfailingly professional and patient—even when clients make eleventh hour changes or balk at new design ideas. In my experience, that’s a rare but crucial quality.

WIEGO – Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (Harvard University, Cambridge)

I have worked with Julian, and Luckham Creative, for many years now. He has done a wide variety of graphic design, web development and design, and layout for our organization. He has also done some training with our partners and taken some gorgeous photos that we continue to use. We greatly appreciated his commitment to delivering high quality work. I highly recommend Julian for creative graphic design delivered on time and in budget!

Whitehorse

You never disappoint!

Comment from Julian: As a concert photographer, I find the more I enjoy a band the better my photos turn out. I’ve seen the Canadian band Whitehorse more times than I can remember, they always put on an amazing show and as I’ve told them myself, “I’ll keep going as long as you keep playing”! Both Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland, of Whitehorse, are always appreciative of the photos I post on Facebook of their show. One year Luke left me a three word comment on Facebook – “You never disappoint”! Thanks Luke, you guys always make it easy! See for yourself: Whitehorse

72 Hour Films – Short Film Festival (Ottawa, Ontario)

For close to a year I prepared to produce a short film festival. The to-do list associated with launching SPARTA was extensive. Among a long list of requirements was an event web site and logo design. I toyed with the idea of doing it myself until I encountered Luckham Creative. Julian is a very skilled artist in the visual medium. He is also a very good listener and quite capable of distilling a rambling description of what someone wants into a prototype logo or website. Once Julian confirmed the direction he was headed would produce the result I desired, he didn’t waste any time completing the project. I’m very happy to be working with Luckham Creative and I am certain you will be more than satisfied with Julian’s work.

WIEGO – Women in Informal Employment: Gloabalizing and Organizing (Harvard University, Cambridge)

Julian has designed a multitude of publications, collateral and online products for WIEGO over the last 5 years. His attention to detail, responsiveness and extensive knowledge of photography and printing have been essential to producing high impact publications such as WIEGO’s Annual Report, the Global Economic Crisis Study and much much more often in multiple languages and at times working with key stakeholders who are based in other countries.

ctc Train Canada (Ottawa, Ontario)

Julian has shown himself to be a true professional. Students in his classes come away having had a great experience, and having learned in a creative, supportive classroom environment. I would happily hire him in a number of capacities, and I value his work highly.

Heide Norton-Rennie, ctc Train Canada

Ottawa Film Society (Ottawa, Ontario)

One Boy One Van Foundation (Ottawa, Ontario)

I’m thrilled with the logo you’ve come up with. The illustration is perfect. The colour is good, and when I cover up the text with my hands, the graphic looks great all by itself. The message it conveys is clear. And that tag line works well with it. Thank you for understanding what we needed.

Amanda George, One Boy One Van Foundation

Congratulations, Julian, on 25 years of creativity. Delighted that WIEGO is now the beneficiary of your creativity.

Marty Chen, International Coordinator, WIEGO, on the occasion of my 25th Anniversary Celebration

Congrats on the 25 years! You know how your work impresses me, so I’ll leave it at that.

Paul Levine, Old Dog Design, at my 25th Anniversary Celebration

Finding a good graphic designer that truly embraces the design and technical side of things is a rarity. Finding one whose knowledge overlaps both the Internet and the printed page world is even scarcer. Julian Luckham… is one of those.

Jean Brunette RGD, Innovacom Marketing & Communication. One of my first Ottawa clients.

Julian brought a very high level of expertise to the Technology Marketing Division of CANMET when he filled my position as Head of the Graphic Design and Production Department, while I was on a leave of absence for three months. He showed initiative and skill and was considered reliable, honest and conscientious by all he worked with.

Jo-anne Demers, Head Graphic Design and Production (TMD) CANMET. First Ottawa contract.

Julian’s service was exceptional from all aspects including price, the ability to meet deadlines, and quality of work. Julian’s attitude is always professional and he is a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend him.

Brian Kerzner, President, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Vancouver client.

As a Graphic Designer with special needs for detail and service, I have not come across an individual so qualified and capable to address my requirements as Julian Luckham. Not only was Julian flexible to work with, but he always delivered the goods. At a time when so many people offer desktop services it is important to remember that only a few know the equipment and what they are doing, Julian Luckham… is one of the few.
