Graphic Design

Design for the things you publish week to week: campaign assets, social graphics, presentations, reports and print, made consistent by a working system.

Overview

Most companies do not have a design problem so much as a consistency problem. The identity is fine; it is the fortieth deck and the two hundredth social post where things drift, because each was made under time pressure by whoever was available.

The fix is partly production and partly system: doing the work that needs a designer, and building templates and components so the work that does not need one still comes out looking right.

Who this is for

  • Companies whose materials look like they came from several companies
  • Marketing teams without a designer, or with one who is a bottleneck
  • Businesses with a brand guide nobody applies consistently
What's included

How we approach graphic design

The specific pieces of work a typical engagement covers. Scope is agreed up front — nothing here is a surprise line item later.

  • Campaign and marketing assets

    The full set for a campaign across channels, designed together so they hold as a family rather than as separate items.

  • Social and digital graphics

    Sized natively per platform, with text scaled for a phone rather than a desktop preview.

  • Presentation and report design

    Decks and documents that stay readable when someone else edits them, which is the real test of a template.

  • Template systems

    Editable templates for the recurring formats, so routine work does not need a designer and still looks designed.

  • Print and production artwork

    Correctly prepared artwork with bleed, colour profiles and the specifications printers actually need.

  • Asset library

    Organised, findable files with clear naming, which prevents the slow drift back to whatever version someone had locally.

How it runs

From first call to measured result

The same sequence every time, so you always know what happens next.

  1. Review

    Look at recent materials and the existing guidelines to find where consistency actually breaks.

  2. Systemise

    Build templates and components for the formats you produce most often.

  3. Produce

    Design the work that needs a designer, on an agreed turnaround.

  4. Hand over

    Train the team on the templates and organise the asset library so it stays usable.

Why it's worth doing

Outcomes, not deliverables

A pile of artefacts isn't progress. These are the changes the work is meant to produce — and what we report against.

  • Consistency without gatekeeping

    Good templates mean routine work stays on brand without every item passing a designer.

  • Faster turnaround

    The recurring formats stop being projects and become a fifteen minute task.

  • Materials that look like one company

    A coherent set reads as more established than the sum of its parts.

  • Print without reprints

    Correct artwork specification avoids the expensive category of mistake that only shows up on delivery.

Questions

Common questions about Graphic Design

The things people ask before they get in touch. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

We have a brand guide. Why is nothing consistent?

Because guides describe rules and people need tools. A forty page PDF loses to a deadline every time. Templates and components apply the rules by default, which is what actually changes the output.

Can you work with our existing identity?

Yes, and that is the usual case. If the identity itself is the problem rather than its application, that is brand identity design work and we would say so rather than papering over it.

What turnaround should we expect?

Routine assets in two to three working days, campaign sets in one to two weeks. Once templates exist a lot of routine work stops needing us at all, which is the intention.

Do we get the source files?

Always. Editable source files, fonts where licensing allows and an organised library. Nothing here should depend on us being available.
