Rick Lecoat’s Summary
Rick Lecoat is a cross-media graphic designer, who is just as happy working with HTML and CSS as with paper stock and a printing press. Formally trained at two world-class design schools — Saint Martins School of Art and the London College Of Printing — he firmly believes that design can, and should, be an agent to improve our day-to-day world.
Rick founded and runs Shark Attack, a small UK design studio producing brand-strengthening solutions that bridge the worlds of print and web.
His written articles have been published in magazines such as Computer Arts, Surfers Path, the technology e-zine 1984, and the London-wide commuter paper London Lite. Rick is currently also pursuing a course in astronomy at University College London.

Rick Lecoat’s Experience

Owner & Creative Director
Shark Attack Design
(Graphic Design industry)
November 1999 — Present (10 years 1 month)
A small, London-based design studio, Shark Attack specialises in providing integrated design solutions — so you no longer need to get your online and offline projects designed by different teams.
The studio delivers creative, effective, problem solving design, working one-on-one with the client to ensure that they get exactly the design they’re after.
Shark Attack’s belief is that a tight, intelligent integration between print and web design leads to a stronger end solution with far greater consistency and clarity across the brand. It also makes for a more efficient design process with, ultimately, increased value for the client.
The studio’s clients include the Metropolitan Police Service, the BBC, Universal Music, Readers Digest Association Limited, Eastside Educational Trust, Deep Fried Films, Mentorn TV, Vertigo Records, and many more
