The Honeyman Website
We who share the passion for digital books, scrapbooking and genealogy are a relatively small group in the overall scheme of things. Out of a compulsive need to be creative, and united by a love of design, family exploration and discovery, we constantly seek out different and exciting new means of expression. That is where this website comes in. I have been creating artwork and background designs for photo-books, e-books, scrapbooking and genealogy for many, many years. For a long time I have felt that the 'industry' was very generic. That's not the industry's fault. Because most of the stuff that people use has traditionally been paper-based, the artists and creators have always had to develop more generalised designs with broad appeal in order to print enough volume to be able to sell the products at a realistic price. I understand this because for a long time I had contracts with some of these companies to produce designs for printing on paper. I also operated a specialist paper retail outlet, which gave me the opportunity to meet and liaise directly with customers, album designers, scrapbookers and genealogists.
Hence this website. Instead of investing vast sums of money in a small range of designs, I am able to generate a huge and ongoing range of designs for you to download at minimal cost.
Our prices are low, so we ask you to be fair with us
This website is our only business. You will find our prices are fixed and fair (and if you buy a pack of designs the price per unit drops considerably). Because our prices are so low, we ask that you be fair and honourable and not distribute the designs to other people. Instead, tell them about our website or send them a link to this site so they can explore and download for themselves.
Meaningful, targeted designs
The numerous folk I met over this time were crying out for more meaningful, targeted designs, as well as for (because I am Australian) local Australian and New Zealand designs to add visual impact and meaning. So I set to work one day and I haven't stopped since. Many of the designs you find on this site have been developed due to specific request. For example, my brother is a Vietnam veteran, and he features in several of the designs honouring the heroic efforts he and his mates made in that terrible experience. He is using some of my designs in his own Veterans jewellery manufacturing business.
On this site you will find a wildly diverse and eclectic range of categories. For special occasions, I can also be persuaded to create customised background designs or page set-ups for you at a very reasonable cost. So if you have a great photograph or some other images, and you can give me a good idea of what you want, I am very happy to discuss this with you.
