Mark Spanton’s Summary
I’m an experienced passionate designer with a solid background in creative and graphic design.
Currently owner and Creative Director of Captiva Design Ltd.
Working on a wide variety of design projects across many
design disciplines. With access to a network of technical, content and photographic specialists helping deliver that extra support when required.
My philosophy is that there’s no excuse for bad design and
no matter how big or small the project, the quality, attention to
detail and delivery will always be of the highest standard.

that key roles included heading up and building design teams for The Press Association, Sporting Life and Ananova. Plus 14 years in newspaper and magazine design, The combination of working for such leading international organisations has given me wide range of skills and experience in the field of brand development, corporate and new media design.
