Design for print and branding are our main areas of specialism. We have years of experience in producing wonderfully creative

design work including logos and corporate stationery sets, leaflets and posters, brochures, catalogues and exhibition graphics.

Branding is an area in which we excel. Developing a brand is not something a designer can do exclusively by themselves though. A brand is created in everything a company does; it includes

the way the phone is answered to the colours of the staff uniform to the way the text is written on its website. A brand is the personality of a business and is what customers buy into.

A designer can help develop an identity that supports a companies’ brand through creative thinking into how the brand message is delivered to its audience. They can execute the

brand identities delivery in a number of ways such as straplines and familiar phrases, imagery, logos, colours and graphic elements that support and compliment the brand.

Design for print is something we are true experts in. If you need something printed, the chances are we have done a similar job in the past and we know how to achieve the

best possible results for your requirements. Working with trusted local print specialists, we guarantee the very best materials, processes and expertise and our design work is

transformed from visual format into high resolution digital artwork to precise specifications set out by our print partners in order to achieve fantastic results on every print run.

processWe like to keep things as simple and as transparent as possible so that everyone knows what is expected and what will be delivered within every project we take on. With this in mind, we work to a very straightforward project path.

Meet: We meet and greet our customer to discuss what is required

Brief: Once we have understood the requirements, we formalise the parameters of the job in writing, in a design brief document

Quote: Once the brief is agreed upon and signed off, we estimate how long we will need to deliver the project, create a timescale and generate a quotation

Think: After the quotation is signed off and purchase order is raised, we get down to business and start to think creatively about the project and develop possible solutions to present

Visuals: Once we have developed the concept clearly, we will design visuals to demonstrate our thinking and execution of the concept

Present: A presentation can be made in a presentation document via email or face to face with design visual boards. It really comes down to how the customer feels comfortable with receiving our visuals

Amend: Once visuals have been presented, we go away and leave our customer to ‘mull over’ the ideas. They can then formulate a list of amendments or tweaks which we will action, complete and resupply visuals back to them

Artwork: Once visuals are signed off, we take the project to high resolution digital artwork stage and create HRDA to a set of specifications determined by the production process required to deliver the project

Deliver: Once our HRDA is ready, it is supplied, produced, packed and delivered to our customer
