Design & Photography
David Hixon is a gifted artist with an eye for the unusual.
He qualified in Graphic Design at Plymouth, designing innovative graphics, logo and branding ideas and concepts for local firms.
His passion for photography evolved simultaneously, his work appearing in prestigious journals and is now admired worldwide.
He has also scored exceptionally well in national and international photography competitions, specialising in landscapes and seascapes, in colour, monochrome and long exposure motion blur effects.
David supplies graphics for Scriptit as required, and all the artwork on this website is his work. His prolific portfolio falls into two areas: graphic design and fine art minimalist photography, trading independently as CanDu Design and Picture Devon respectively:
