I've had the great fortune to hire Peter [3 times] as a Graphic Designer and I've tried to hire him on other projects as he's always my first phone call. His work is invisible (not calling undue attention to itself) and unquestionable and by that I mean, it always does what it needs to do, be it a full street of signage or a highly detailed and script specific hero prop graphic. He requires little direction and will take the lead and can produce the great quantities of material the film & tv industry often requires to create the world the story is living in. Peter is outstanding in his field and he fits in very well in the overall art department world.

Peter Merrison worked as the Graphic Designer on the series ‘When the Streetlights Go On’ produced by ‘Quibi’ – a new streaming platform, ‘Anonymous Content’ and ‘Paramount’.
The series was extremely fast-paced and Peter’s involvement was invaluable. He produced vast quantities of highly detailed, quality work at breakneck speed and was able to shift between styles with ease, moving from prosaic street signage to elaborate wallpapers depending on the need-of-the-moment. There seemed little that he could not handle with a minimum of direction. This kind of expertise is the result of years of experience and honing of skills.
I was very happy to have worked with Peter and hope to do so again. He is a pleasure!

Peter's incredible work ethic and attention to detail make him a very valuable graphic designer and team member. He has a great eye, takes notes very well and can design across a number of different styles and mediums. He doesn't stop until the job is done and everyone is satisfied.

...all your work has been great - so glad you were on our team.

Peter is one of those rare creative individuals with the perfect combination of collaboration and vision. He had a particular talent for taking my less than ideal brief and somehow translating that into exactly what I had in my head. His ability to translate complex data sets into clear and concise infographics is a standout for me. A skill that is an integral part of effective data visualization, and an absolute must for marketers today. I highly recommend Peter for any creative project. Oct. 2015

Peter is the very definition of responsible. ... he marries that commitment to completion with a degree of patience that makes him approachable, open to all points of view, and inspirational to others. Peter motivates everyone around him by making everything seem possible, as well as fun. Oct. 2015

"I’ve worked with Peter Merrison daily for most of two years. He’s one of the most reliable, pleasant, hard-working, skilled individuals I have had the pleasure of dealing with in my time as entertainment editor at the Sun. He’s responsive to direction but not without his own ideas, he takes initiative, he designs lovely pages with precision and speed, and he doesn’t make mistakes. He has a very high degree of skill on the computer. I would recommend him for just about any graphic design job you might care to throw his way. If you need any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 2002
