Cheryl Basford

About

What do you do?

I am the chief designer for the company’s leading lifestyle magazine, Staffordshire Living. I am responsible for the preparation, layout, design and proof reading the publication as well as sending it to print. I check and create advertisements for both the magazine and online. I also design work for PR clients, which could be anything from designing either print-based work for leaflets and brochures or graphics for social media posts.

Past experience and credentials:

I studied at the University of Scarborough for 3 years where I worked on several projects including print work, animation, video and websites, landing me a degree in Design for Digital Media. I have now been working as a graphic designer for 5 years, 3 of which have been here at Staffordshire Living.

My motto is?

Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday.

When I’m not working I like to….

Drink prosecco! I love being outdoors; a countryside walk is my fav, especially if it involves a sunset. I spend a lot of time with my family too, they’re the best!

Pet Hate?

The misuse of your/you’re – and don’t even get me started on their/they’re/there.

Favourite Netflix show and why…

I don’t think I can pick one. But my latest include; Dead to Me, The Haunting of Hill House, After Life and You… Oh and you can never go wrong with a Friends marathon!
