A positive for me was the development of our match day posters from the beginning too now!
Despite still a ‘basic’ graphic with the use of PowerPoint I’m still pleased I was able to modernise our page to look more ‘professional’ and have a ‘crisp clean’ look to it.
Lastly I wouldn’t have been able to do a lot of the content without the images
