Take a look at the different services that we can offer.
Branding
Having a brand means that all of your publications are consistent, easily recognisable and professional looking.
Whether you want to refresh your school’s logo, update your prospectus or create your own brand guidelines, our talented graphic designer will work with you from the initial planning stages right through to the final design process.
We can also create unique graphics for you to use in both digital and printed media, such as stickers, badges, posters .. you name it, we can design it!
Photography
One of the most effective ways to showcase your identity and ethos is through eye-catching, high-quality imagery.
One of our photographers will work with you to create a comprehensive schedule so that you can get the maximum number of photos at the highest possible quality.
This will include staged photos of practical activities, and/or natural photos depending on the events you have taking place.
We’ll then edit the images and send you the high-quality files so you can use them on your website, in your prospectus or in any other publications you create.
Website
One of the first places that anybody will look to find out more about you is your website.
We can work with you to update your current website, or create a new one from scratch. We will spend time with you in the planning stages and discuss your vision for the website, as well as what we think would work best.
We can provide a fully bespoke design, instead of just a template that’s similar to other organisations. We will also work to incorporate your branding, ethos and overall personality.
