NS19 Interview - Iain Macdonald, Graphic Designer

Image
Greetings, Ghostwatchers! To mark this year's 27th Anniversary for Ghostwatch, and Behind the Curtains' 9th National S é ance, I was very fortunate to speak with yet another extremely-talented contributor to the production; Dr. Iain Macdonald, who as you can see by this handy screen-grab, was listed as 'Graphic Designer' during the programme's eerie end-credit scroll.
