Graphic design & print
Practical graphic design for the things your business needs to put out into the world, in print and on screen.
Clear, useful and nicely made.
A flyer needs to get its message across. A brochure needs to be easy to read. A sign needs to work at a distance. I design around where the work will be seen and what it needs to say.
Print experience makes a difference.
My background is in pre-press. I understand artwork setup, colour, bleed and finishing, so the files are prepared for the job rather than just the screen.
A little ongoing help.
You don’t need a full rebrand to get in touch. I can work with your existing identity on one piece of artwork or help keep regular marketing material consistent.
What do you need from me?
The size or format, the wording, your logo and any images are a useful start. If you have a printer, send their artwork requirements too. I can help work out the missing pieces.
How we’ll work together
Start with the finished item.
Tell me what you need, where it will be used and when it is needed. For print, the size, stock, folds and finishing can affect the artwork. A printer’s specification is useful at this point, especially for booklets, signs or anything with a cutting template.
Make the information easy to follow.
I organise the wording and imagery around the main message, then share a design for you to review. You can check the layout alongside practical details such as prices, contact information and spelling before the artwork is signed off.
Prepare the agreed files.
Once approved, I prepare the artwork to the agreed output specification. That could be a print PDF, a set of social graphics or both. If the printer raises a file query, send it over so we can establish what needs adjusting.
A few useful answers
Can you check artwork I have already made?
Yes. Send the file and the printer’s requirements. I can review practical issues such as size, bleed, image quality and font handling, then explain whether the file needs small corrections or more substantial work.
Do you handle printing as well as design?
This service focuses on design and artwork preparation. If you already have a printer, I can work to their specification. Print production, delivery and any third-party costs need to be agreed separately rather than assumed to be included.
Can you turn one design into several sizes?
Yes. A flyer, social post and banner usually need different layouts rather than a simple resize. Let me know the full list of formats so the time for those versions can be included in the quote.
What if I need regular artwork updates?
I can help with repeat work such as menus, price lists and marketing graphics. Send examples, the likely frequency and the usual turnaround you need. We can agree a practical way of handling changes.
