The Peter MacDonald Design Studio
Without a deep understanding of the traditional use of colour in tartan, designing can often be very difficult and the results unpredictable. There are general ground rules governing what colours blend with others and in what proportions. Meaningful and enduring tartan design therefore requires an understanding not only of the traditional techniques of colour combination but also of their proportions and their juxtaposition, and an appreciation of tartan history and the weaving process.
During the past twenty years the studio has produced many tartan designs for use by a variety of clients ranging from individuals and clan societies to organisations and multi-national companies. Some examples of the many designs include;

What is involved in the design process?
The basic fee is £450 which includes woven samples and submission of the design to the Scottish Tartans Authority and obtaining their Certificate of Recording.
Designs are tailored to an individual client's demands and can reflect family or corporate themes, connections or affiliations.
For example, specific colour combinations and/or shades might be built into a design to integrate it with existing logos or
a Grant of Arms. Additional design work is charged at an hourly rate of £50. Other fees may be applicable depending on the proposed use of the design, assignment of design and/or reproduction rights etc. Details of these options and the protection of designs by a Registered Design Service are available on request.
