I’m Kathryn Webster, an award-winning graphic designer and illustrator based in Ramsgreave, between Blackburn and the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. I run Ink and Pixels, a quirky creative studio. At Ink and Pixels, there is a wide range of creative services on offer; corporate identity, branding, advertising, typography, illustration, print management, website design and photography. Please get in touch to see how Ink and Pixels can help you, and hopefully, we can meet up for a cuppa!
I hope you like my site! However if you continue to browse inkandpixelscreative.co.uk you are agreeing to the following stuff. Most of it is just to cover both me and you, but if you’re not happy with it, feel free to bob to another website or just close this window. You’ll miss out on some good stuff though, but no hard feelings.
The content of my pages if general information and it will always be changing. I like to keep things current. All of the work on here is my own and licenced to me, this includes the work, the copy and look and appearance. You can’t reproduce any of it, other than with copyright notice from me, and if you are found to be using it, not only is that naughty of you, but it’s also a criminal offence and I could put in claims of damages. You have been warned.
Also, there has been a new law put in place for cookies. Sadly not the chocolate chip kind. A cookie is a file which is stored on your browser or your computer. They contain information that is transferred to your hard drive. They help me to keep my site working well and up to date, which means I can amend my site accordingly. Cookies have always been there, but now there is a law brought in from Europe this year (May 2012), which states I have to make you aware of it. They help both me and you. If you want to know more about cookies then just google it. Or have a read of this link which explains a good amount of it -http://www.aboutcookies.org/default.aspx. There’s a lot of information out there on them, but I won’t bore you with it. The main point is that if you carry on using my site you’re agreeing to my use of cookies. The main use of cookies on my site is for Google Analytics. This is a simple web service provided by Google which gives me reports on how my site is being used, so it helps me to keep improving things. Which surely can’t be a bad thing.
The only other information I may collect from you is by phone or email. Mainly so I don’t forget to call you back, but just thought I better let you know.
Anyway, there it is, the terms of use outlines. Hope that’s all ok with you!
