WHAT WE CAN DESIGN
From a single leaflet to a complete campaign.
Introduce your business, explain a service or prepare for an event. We can create new layouts or adapt your existing designs across a range of printed materials.
Good graphic design gives your reader a clear way through the information. The choice of type, images, colour and spacing helps draw attention to what matters and makes the next step easy to find.
For printed work, the physical details matter too. Finished size, folds, margins, paper and binding can all affect how a layout works. We consider those choices while the artwork is being developed.
Help at the stage you need it
Bring us an idea, a set of text and images, or an existing design that needs updating. We can develop new artwork or work with your current brand assets, then prepare the files for the agreed print specification. If you already have a designer, we can help with artwork preparation and production details.
Start with a clear brief
Tell us who the design is for, what it needs to communicate and how it will be used. Share your text, images, preferred format and deadline, plus any examples that help explain the direction you have in mind. We can agree the scope and identify what is needed before the layout begins.
FROM BRIEF TO FINISHED PRINT
Let’s turn your ideas into artwork.
A clear brief and an agreed review process help keep the project moving. We can guide you through each stage.
Agree the brief and scope
Share your purpose, audience, content and deadline. We’ll discuss the items required, print specification and level of design work, then agree the quote, timing and revision arrangements.
Develop and review the design
We create or adapt the artwork around the agreed direction. Review the layout, wording and details, then send a consolidated set of feedback so amendments can be made clearly.
Approve the artwork for production
Once the agreed changes are complete, review the final proof and confirm approval. The artwork is prepared for the chosen format, with printing and finishing scheduled as agreed for the job.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Graphic design, explained.
Starting a new design or getting an existing file ready for print? Here are some useful things to know before you begin.
Yes. You do not need a finished layout to get started. Tell us what you want to communicate, who it is for and where the design will be used. We can help develop the layout from your brief, supplied text, images and brand assets.
Include your text, logo, images, contact details and any brand guidelines. Tell us the items you need, preferred size, quantity if printing, budget and deadline. Examples of a style you like can help explain your direction. If something is missing, let us know so we can agree how to proceed.
Yes. We can review existing files and discuss amendments, resizing or preparation for print. Original editable files and linked images are useful where available. If you already have a designer, we can help confirm the production requirements and check what adjustments are needed for the chosen format.
The quote depends on the scope, number of items or pages, content supplied and level of design work required. Tell us whether you need a new layout, adaptations or specific amendments. We will agree the design work and revision arrangements in the quote, alongside printing where required. Additional versions or changes to the brief may affect cost and timing.
Timing depends on the complexity of the design, whether the content is ready and the review stages involved. Share your deadline at the start so we can discuss a realistic schedule, allowing time for feedback, approval and any printing or finishing that follows.
We agree the proofing process for the job so you can review the design before approving it for print. Check the wording, spelling, names, numbers, dates and contact details as well as the layout. A screen proof is useful for reviewing content and positioning; if colour, stock or finish is particularly important, ask about appropriate proofing or samples when the job is planned.
