Graphic Design
Layout, typesetting and artwork for print and screen, prepared to press ready standard in every format you need.
What you get.
For teams producing artwork regularly enough that inconsistency has started to cost them.
Design that has to hold up at A0 on a wall and at forty pixels in a feed. We set both from the same system so nothing drifts between them.
Most of the value here is not in the first piece. It is in the type scale, grid and colour rules that make the next fifty pieces production work rather than design work, and in files organised well enough that anyone can find the right version.

Press ready files and artwork handover
What is included.
-
A system before the artwork
Type scale, grid, colour and image treatment agreed once, so every piece after the first is faster and matches without anyone policing it.
-
Press ready files, checked
Bleed, trim, colour profile, resolution and overprint verified before the file leaves us. Reprints caused by artwork faults are our problem, not yours.
-
Editable working files
You receive the source files, the fonts and a short usage note. Not only flattened exports that trap you with whoever made them.
-
Templates for the repeat work
The items you produce every week become templates your team fills in, which is where the ongoing saving actually comes from.
-
Organised handover
Named, versioned and structured so the right file is findable in a year.
The problem
Artwork gets made piece by piece by whoever is available, so nothing matches, every new item starts from nothing, and the brand looks like six companies. Then a print job comes back wrong because the file was never set up properly.
How we solve it
We set the type scale, grid and colour once, then produce against it. Every file is supplied editable and press ready, with templates for the work you repeat.
What that means for you.
-
Consistent across formats
One system covers billboard, brochure and story frame without redrawing anything.
-
Press ready
Bleed, trim, colour profile and resolution are correct before the file leaves us, so the printer does not call you.
-
Editable
You receive working files, fonts and a short usage note, not only flattened exports.
-
Fast to repeat
Templates mean the next twelve pieces are production, not design, and priced accordingly.
How it runs.
In order. You know what happens next at every point.
Start a project-
01
Brief
What it is for, where it appears, at what size, and what it must make someone do.
-
02
Direction
Two considered routes, not twelve variations, each with a reason behind it you can repeat to your board.
-
03
Production
The chosen route applied across the full deliverable list, in one pass rather than piecemeal.
-
04
Proof
Print proofs or on screen checks before anything goes to volume.
-
05
Handover
Working files, exports and templates, organised and named.
Selected work.
Questions.
- Can you work with our existing brand?
- Yes. If guidelines exist we work inside them. If they do not, we document what we set so the next person can follow it.
- Do you handle printing?
- We prepare and check press ready artwork and can liaise with your printer, or introduce one we trust.
- What files do we receive?
- Editable source files, print exports, screen exports and any templates created along the way.
- Can your templates be used by non designers?
- That is the point of them. We build them for the person who has to produce next week's post at short notice.
