English Express newspaper

Bev Burke, President of Simply Put Consulting Inc., produced the English Express newspaper for the Government of Alberta from 1984 until 2010.

Note: The government is no longer publishing English Express. However, selected articles from 2006 to 2010 were added to the English Express website, which remains available for use. Article topics include news stories, human interest stories, health information, recipes, gardening tips, and recreational activities. Please click here to visit the website.

Photography

Images are fundamental to the success of clear language publications. We are experts at combining graphics and text to communicate information effectively.

We have extensive experience planning, arranging, and executing photo shoots. We have worked with diverse groups of people in a wide variety of situations. We also have experience shooting objects, animals, and landscapes.

Photo stories

Our strength lies in the production of photo stories—taking a series of photographs that introduce readers to a person, a place, a concept, or a process. For example, we have taken photos that introduce people and their jobs, introduce a facility and its amenities, explain an activity or sport, illustrate a trip to the doctor, and take readers through the steps of a recipe.
