For established companies and marketing teams that would rather brief one senior creative than manage four suppliers. Alistair Graham, Design Director, leads every job and is the person you deal with from the first brief to the finished files.
Four kinds of work make up most of the portfolio. Each one is shown in full, with the client named, on the featured work page.
Investor decks, sponsorship proposals and board presentations for Toyota South Africa, Old Mutual, MTN, Fox Sports and Vivo Energy, and pitch decks prepared for proposals to Investec and Huawei. The argument is structured before anything is designed, so the deck works in the room and when it is forwarded without you.
Printed and online catalogues for distributors with thousands of lines, including Tecsa Reco, Toolquip & Allied and Can-Am. Product data, photography and layout are handled together, so the catalogue, the price list and the online store stay in step.
Recruitment and awareness campaigns in the UK for Elizabeth Finn Homes, The Valleys care home, United Children’s Services and United Health: posts for named roles, respite care awareness, and energy-cost information for older residents.
Identity, guidelines and everything that follows them: logos, corporate identity, packaging, print and websites such as the Spode e-commerce store, so a company looks like one company wherever it appears.
If the job is better done by a specialist, you will be told so, and pointed to one where possible.
The studio is in Newbury. Meetings, shoots and site visits are arranged across Thatcham, Hungerford, Theale, Reading, Basingstoke, Andover, Marlborough, Didcot, Oxford and Swindon, and most of the work itself runs remotely.
Overflow and white-label design for agencies that need senior capacity without hiring: presentations, catalogues and long documents, brand roll-outs, retouching, campaign creative and WordPress builds, delivered under your name and to your standards.
Brochures, catalogues, annual reports, packaging, signage and presentation decks, laid out to read clearly and to print correctly, with editable files supplied where a team needs to keep using them.
Product ranges shot and retouched to match, restaurants, interiors and buildings photographed for marketing and records, and close-up retouching for jewellery and other detailed work.
A brand is not the logo. It is what people expect from you before they deal with you, and it is built or eroded by every piece of work that goes out under your name.
Websites designed and built in WordPress, with search basics set up properly and pages a non-technical team can edit. New builds and redesigns of existing sites.
Something that looks good and fails the job it was made for has not been designed. It has been decorated.
