Graphic design & branding
A look that fits your business
Your logo goes everywhere your business does.
Your website, signage, invoices, social media. A good logo has to work in all of them, at any size, and still be instantly recognisable.
I design logos and brand identities for new businesses, and refresh them for those that have outgrown what they started with. Because I also design and build websites, your branding and your site can be developed side by side, so everything feels like it belongs together from day one.
Keep it simple
The logos that last tend to be simple. A clear mark, one or two colours, and nothing that needs explaining. Simple doesn’t mean dull, though. It takes more work to get a logo down to its essentials than to keep adding to it.
In practice, a logo has to work at the size of a social media icon as well as on a sign or vehicle, in colour and in one colour. I design with all of that in mind from the start.
A logo project usually begins with a chat about your business, your customers and anything you like or don’t like. I then come back with initial ideas, and we refine your favourite until it’s right. At the end you get your logo in all the file formats you’ll need, for print, web and social media.
Print design
Business cards, letterheads, brochures, flyers, pull-up banners and more.
I design printed materials that match your branding and your website, so everything looks like it comes from the same business.
All artwork is set up properly for print, with attention to colour, typography and finish. I can also arrange the printing for you, in the quantities and timeframe you need, so you don’t have to deal with the printers yourself.
Digital design
Your branding should carry through everything you put online.
Your branding should carry through everything you put online. I design website icons and graphics, social media profile and cover images for platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, and animated logos and motion graphics for video.
For photos and imagery, I combine over 30 years of Photoshop experience with Adobe Firefly, which is trained on licensed content and designed to be commercially safe. That covers everything from retouching and background replacement to creating new images without a photoshoot.
