Testimonials

Kristy Nelson
Yearbook Coordinator, Spinifex State College, Mount Isa

SSC enjoyed partnering with Classic Yearbooks to develop the 2019 School Magazine. Cherie was fast, efficient and followed all instructions whilst developing a professional and creative magazine. SSC would recommend Classic Yearbooks to anyone looking to outsource the development and printing of their school magazine.

Andrea Austin
P&C President, Chatswood Public School

Two years ago we engaged Cherie from Classic Year Books to reinvent and reinvigorate our annual publication Chatties Wood. Our former magazine was 120 pages, had not moved with the times, was difficult to create and disappointing to read. Our school had nearly doubled in size in 5 years and we needed a new format to celebrate our wonderful school. We needed help! Cherie presented some different ideas and together we decided on a concept. The first year, we had some hiccups with our own staff, just used to doing their own thing, many not understanding copyright issues, formatting and myriad of other issues. Despite all this Cherie managed to pull together an amazing 200 page year book of great quality. This year, with lots of lessons learnt the year book has been a joy to put together! Cherie provided full support for the teachers who wished to have it and we had proper processes in place. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Classic Yearbooks for many more years to come and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

KATE MORRISSY
Marketing, Whitsunday Anglican School

Cherie from Classic Yearbooks was professional, supportive and efficient when it came to the design and layout of Whitsunday Anglican School’s 2017 Yearbook. She was full of helpful suggestions when it came to the layout of our yearbook and was prompt in her work and with producing proofs for us. I would definitely recommend her work and cannot wait to see the finished product and work with her again on next year’s book!

BIANCA LAI
2017 Physiotherapy Graduation Yearbook Coordinator, Monash University

Classic Yearbooks is a fantastic company with staff who provide excellent service, particularly for a self-designed project. Throughout the process we received constant and timely communication, feedback and support. The final product exceeded our expectations and could not have been completed in time without Cherie’s assistance. We would definitely recommend Classic Yearbooks to anyone who is looking for high quality yearbooks.

ANGELA FAN
2016 Student Yearbook Committee Member, Mac. Robertson Girls' High School

Cherie was an amazing person to work with, being flexible and open to all suggestions, which allowed us to customise our school yearbook in accordance to how we envisioned it. She was patient, encouraging and extremely prompt with all requests, dealing with them in a professional manner. Communication was clear and it is because of such that we were able to create a yearbook showcasing lasting high school memories. The final yearbooks were delivered on time and the quality was phenomenal. Myself and the Mac.Robertson Yearbook team of 2017 would recommend Classic Yearbooks to others.

Cherie was a valued member of the BPG team for 15 years. During that period Cherie was instrumental in driving our branding strategy and in producing the art for most of our corporate marketing publications. She also assisted many clients in the enhancement of their marketing pieces through the delivery of effective design. Cherie is a highly intelligent and articulate woman who is very passionate about design and honesty in communication. If the opportunity presents I look forward to working again with Cherie on our corporate projects.

JOSIE HOWES
Editor – La Campana

 I belong to an Italian charitable organisation and have worked with Cherie Saxby over the last 12 or so years whilst putting together our annual publication “La Campana”. Cherie has always been so lovely to work with. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she is able to keep calm when things are  on a tight timetable. She has always taken great pride in her work, is able to prioritise and meets deadlines. I feel we are a team, both of us helping each other get the best result.

Compelling 3D promotions in paper that grab your prospects attention: Paper Engineer, Paper & Pixel 

Cherie has a rich knowledge of design, pre-press, and print production from her years in the industry. She writes a great brief for projects, and is a clear communicator, so it is easy to do business with her. Her experience of designing and supervising the production of client work means that she knows how to make a design job sing, yet stay within budget.

PAULINE ROWE
Secretary, Liverpool Community Independents Team

 In 2012 our group commissioned Cherie Saxby to design its promotional material for a local government election. Cherie prepared all the graphics including “How to Votes”, Corflutes and Brochures. Her attention to detail and meticulous work assisted in our candidate being elected as a local Councillor.
Our brochure was declared by voters the best information they had received. The brochure Cherie designed had eye catching graphics, relevantly placed information on candidates and the “set out” meant that people could read our document easily.
Cherie’s work impressed me on multiple levels. She had the uncanny sense to provide what we needed by listening effectively to what we were seeking. She provided excellent designs and ideas in a timely manner with excellent communication skills which is all you could ask for from a graphic designer.
Cherie continues to work with our team to provide her expertise and I would unequivocally recommend her to anyone requiring a dedicated, professional and talented graphic designer.

JULIE TU
Graphic Designer at B | P | G – Bright Print Group

 Having worked with Cherie for over nine years in the same graphic design team, she had consistently displayed an ability to think outside the box during our idea workshops for design briefs.   Her breadth of knowledge and skill in design covering many areas made her the preferred advisor for fellow colleagues requiring professional design opinions.   Cherie’s enthusiasm for in-depth research during design projects had been strong motivation for our design team to be constantly encouraged to seek, learn and explore design solutions at all times.   It was a pleasure to have Cherie as a colleague at work.

COLIN KENNY-LEVICK
Business Development Manager at B | P | G – Bright Print Group

 Cherie has a unique style which sets her apart from other designers and artists. She brings her personal passion to the art she creates and can call upon a wealth of experiences and understanding to deliver just what you are looking for. I would often provide a design brief and found her interpretation to always exceed expectations. Cherie comes with an affable nature and always has a smile…and loves retro fashion!

STEVE ABRAHALL
