The hard-working engine behind Fatcalf Media’s cohesive and creative output is Tim Roberts, a multimedia designer who initially followed his passion for music as a sound engineer / producer but soon realised his creativity lies as much in the visual as it does in audio.

Where the love of music and a keen eye for the aesthetic come together most profoundly is in helping musicians to package their creativity in beautiful and cohesive album covers, ensuring all the trimmings (booklets, on-body CD print, inlay cards, etc) hang well together visually.

Responding to the music, the artist, the identity, the vibe… asking questions and listening closely… thinking about the format that would suit the music the best… coming up with completely unique packaging where it is most appropriate… designing supporting promotional posters, cards, flyers, banners and ensuring there is a ‘through line’ that knits them all together is what Tim does in this area of design.

“Tim’s attention to detail, his willingness to listen and really understand where your work springs from is second to none. I’d happily recommend what he does to any other artist – easy to work with, brimful of unique ideas and possessing that canny knack of interpreting what you couldn’t necessarily articulate yourself.”
Gareth Davies-Jones, Heading West Music

His work in the Heritage sector as a Finished Artist for a leading design company led to an increased awareness of brand guidelines whilst working with entities such as The National Trust, English Nature. Having developed the focus to instinctively know the appropriate ‘look and feel’ for the printed or digital outcome, Tim became a brand designer for commercial and heritage applications with Fatcalf Media.

Through Fatcalf Media, Tim has designed for Chambers of Commerce, Business Improvement Districts, Financial Planners, Councils, Architects, Psychologists, Restaurants, B&B’s, Hotels, Museums, Housing Associations, Motor Garages, Poets, Railways and Home Improvement Specialists.

He has also given free time as a designer to Food Banks, Wellness Centres, Churches, Charities, Addiction Recovery Organisations and Safe Refuges.
