Tuesday, 25 October 2011. We love to design. a slick look for a start-up training company. We love to work with start-up businesses. We find that start-up's get the most out of our services because they recognise that our input can add value and they tend to trust our judgement. Start-up businesses are also a sponge for information and expertise and it can therefore be very energising working with them. Gemma and Anita of Global Hair Training. Gemma and Anita really liked the idea of a shaped card with s...

Monday, 8 November 2010. Inspiring Development in Others. It's always difficult to know if what one has to say is in the least bit interesting to other people. What does seem to be certain though is that when it comes to running a business, the opportunity to tap into others' experiences is hugely important for motivation and direction. I was recently asked to sit on the panel at an E3 dinner event. Held at The Sheffield College ( www.sparksrestaurant.co.uk. Sarah Simpkins, printing.com. 2 Taking Action ...

Wednesday, 25 January 2012. We love to design. a retro design for an accountancy firm near Sheffield. Opposite this post you'll see that I recommend my 'straight-talking accountant', Robert Tippett of Leesing Marrison Lee and Co. So here's a couple of pictures of the flyer, produced on a high gloss finish for maximum impact. Simple but effective, I'm sure you'll agree:. I'm very pleased with how they look and I'm looking forward to finding out how the campaign works for Robert. And of course, if you ...

Tuesday, 13 July 2010. We love to design. "There's no such thing as a free lunch". There's no such thing as a free lunch" so the saying goes. According to Wikipedia, this well-known saying means that "things that appear to be free are always paid for in some way". Well, when it comes to free design, never was a truer word spoken. However, you've got to consider: "If design is free or cheap, something's gotta give? Than those that do not. Mark is extremely passionate about his business and has a strong et...

Monday, 25 July 2011. Are you making enough of an impact? It's tough getting noticed these days. We're bombarded with thousands of marketing messages on a daily basis and whilst you may have something great to sell, getting people to sit up and take notice can be difficult. Of course, this isn't the complete answer. Your message and copy must be compelling. It must answer that age-old question of 'what's in it for me? But back to that interesting finish or shape. Want them to keep hold of your brochure?

Thursday, 2 December 2010. As I sit at home writing this article, looking at the foot or so of snow in my back garden, I wondered how what is being cited as the coldest winter in 100 years could be linked to global warming. With a little Googling, I have found out that if it wasn't for global warming, these cold snaps would actually happen more often. ISO 14001 and as the only printing company working with the charity Tree Appeal ( www.treeappeal.com. So, are you compliant with F Gas Regulations? To main...

Wednesday, 24 August 2011. Why free design is bad news for your business. Times are tough, there's no secret about that. And with tighter and tighter budgets, it can be tempting to look at ways to cut corners. The lure of free design. Is a tempting proposition and one we often find ourselves up against but here's why I think it's damaging for your business. Something has to give. Who takes the hit in the end? Get to the back of the queue! How long are you prepared to wait? On a practical level and in our...

Monday, 20 February 2012. KanTeq: An example of why a brand is more than just a logo. I'm constantly banging on about the difference between having a logo and having a brand. It's a common misconception and it amazes me how many people think. They have a brand where in fact they have an identity. And sometimes not even that! I recently came across a great example of what a brand is all about which I wanted to share with you partly because it is. There is much talk on various horsey forums about this body...

Tuesday, 26 October 2010. We love to design. a logo revamp and shiny new brochure for StairSteady. I first saw Ruth Amos of StairSteady ( www.stairsteady.net. Present at an E3 Event a couple of years ago and was blown away by her. Without getting too gushy, I was therefore extremely chuffed to be approached by Ruth to design her brochure. Testament to the power of Twitter, Ruth had been encouraged to contact me by some of my Twitter followers, who are also clients and friends. Next, I took Ruth's supplie...
