Graphic design and illustration for business, community and the arts.

What we do:

Graphic Design combines creative and strategic methodology for the simple purpose of improving the dialogue between you and someone else. Illustrate the message with inspiring ideas and imagery and you will engage more people!

We design print and online media. The choices available for communicating with your markets are growing in number all the time. We understand how they relate and how different markets use them.

We create experiences. The materials that we design for you are an important part of the complete experience that your enterprise offers your customers or audience. We always view our work as part of an experience.

On brand identity and website projects we work with you to devise a design strategy that works with your business, marketing and creative agendas. The strategy informs the design of individual pieces which ensures continuity across media with a unified 'voice'.

We undertake all of our work with an attention to detail and a technical output that ensures the quality that good design promises.

Who we work for:

Our clients come from a diverse range of industries: theatre, the outdoors, food retail, fashion, real estate and banking. We work with organisations of all sizes. This diversity gives us access to different markets and different methods of design, marketing and business.

We are proud of our client relationships. We choose a personal approach because good communications design requires empathy with the client and the subject.

Environment:

We have a healthy respect for the natural systems that support us and are striving for a truly sustainable living and working ethic.

Our office is powered by 100% renewable electricity; we minimise the use of consumables by reuse and recycling; our office is walking distance to amenities and home; we donate to local wildlife rescue.

We advise clients how to protect their environmental credentials and pass on the things we learn such as environmentally sustainable printing methods and green services.

This matters to us because of our location »

What we are best at:

Unique projects. We thrive on unusual problems. By articulating creative ideas we communicate what makes your project special and why it matters.

Interpreting needs. In the early stages of a project we spend time to understand the position and purpose of your business or project. From this comes a strategy which in turn informs the design. This approach ensures that the design outcomes are in tune with your thinking, your audience and the needs of the subject.

Thinking big. From the very beginning we always think of our work as part of a bigger picture. Call it brand, image or identity, we work with existing enterprises and new ones to develop this central concept.

Thinking ahead. As your project and your business develops it needs to be visually communicated in different ways - but your message must be spoken with one voice. Our ideas are designed to blossom and adapt to different methods of presentation and reproduction.

Quality control. We deliver a high standard in print, advertising, and online media. We are sticklers for detail when it comes to ensuring the creative idea and technical production are properly delivered.
