Your brand in practice

For an established brand, it’s important that it looks consistent & professional across all print & screen formats in terms of brand guidelines, fonts, colours & styles.  Great graphic design should always be seen as an extension of your brand, highlighting your services in a clearly legible, accessible & visually-stylish way.  Here are just some of the items I can create for you:

Posters • Flyers • Vouchers • Tickets • Business Stationery • Menus • Large Format Signage • Newsletters • Magazines • Annual Reports • Presentations • Press Adverts • Books • Brochures • Folders • Shelf Talkers • Tent Cards • Social Media Ads & Graphics

UI/UX for websites & mobile apps

Having an online presence is an essential tool in promoting a business to potential new customers.  Your website needs to look professional with a clear message & leave a lasting impression that achieves results for your business.  It also needs to be easy to use, accessible on all digital devices and use smart SEO to increase traffic.  I use best practice User Experience (UX) methods to improve your current website or can create a new Custom Website for your business using these methods:

• UX Research • Expert Reviews • Competitive Benchmarking • Affinity Diagrams • Customer Journey Maps • User Flow Charts • Prototypes • Wireframes • UI Design • Branding • Style Guides • Colour Palettes • Component & Font Libraries • Final Multi-page Responsive Website.

I can also show you how to maintain your new website over the longer term on request.

Custom Illustrations

Custom illustrations can be used to great effect for promoting brands in print & digital marketing.  They can show a more ‘human’ side, or be used as a pictorial aid alongside text to simplify understanding of complex visuals such as maps or infographics.  They can also be used as a storytelling device or in T-shirt designs & other physical products.  Get in touch if you need any type of custom traditional or digital illustrations for: 

• Infographics • Maps • Character Design • Web Products • Publishing • Books & Magazine Covers • Concept Art • Graphic Novels • Packaging • T-shirts • Vehicle Decals • Wall Graphics • Gifts & more

Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on each brief individually as there are no two projects the same.  After our initial chat, I’ll figure out the scope of what’s involved & give you an idea on this.  But rest assured, it is a prompt & timely service!

All I need is a conversation to find out about your needs & if you have any preferences or specific ideas already in mind for what you are looking for.  A 50% desposit of the quote that I provide is required & to book your request – I can then start the work in a timely manner.

In terms of a new logo design for example, I would normally initially provide 3 options – which are each different in their style. Then one of these options would be developed based on your feedback.  I’m confident that you’ll like at least one of the options I provide and it’s important to me that you are totally satisfied with your design & I’ll work with you to get there!

Once you’re happy with the final designs, I can recommend local printers to ensure that your items are printed to the highest standards.  Alternatively I can email the files to your chosen printer or provide a print-management service – let me know if you’d like this option.  You can then have the items collected or delivered from that printer.

I can design a beautiful and functional website that generates leads and results for your business using WordPress – which is the most popular content management tool on the web – and powers 42% of the world’s websites.  For a larger website project, I can also design it from scratch using UX methods; producing prototypes & final high fidelity UI screens, ready to hand-over to a developer to build.  If you need e-commerce let me know and I can accommodate your needs if this is the case.
