it's
all new.

Starting or running a business is incredibly stressful, but very exciting too.

"You can do anything, not everything!"

From finding the right location to hiring your team, you have more decisions to make than ever before.

And now, you need to work out visuals.

Chances are that you chose to start your own business because you are an expert in that chosen field.

Why put yourself through more stress when you can have someone to handle all the visual aspects of your business?

That is where we come in, and we bring almost 30 years’ experience with us.

the
options.

With decades of experience and collecting knowledge, we have cemented a reputation for getting the job done and more importantly, for our unrivalled (often blunt) honesty.

There are plenty of options out there on the web, you can hire a team of 'Yes-People' that will do exactly what you want, or you could hire the team that do exactly what you need.

We never sugar-coat anything or tell you what you want to hear. You can't sugar-coat a turd and call it a donut.
‍
During these uncertain times, you need a team that you can trust to achieve results... without charging you the earth to do it.

If you require a new direction, you can talk to us and we give it to you straight... like a grown-up

Visual identity is what differentiates your company from the pack.

Your visuals need to be 100% you and not a cheeky copy of another company or identity or hideous clip art rubbish.

Creating your visual identity is a lot of research and more planning than any other aspect of your business, especially in this digital age.

We work with you closely and keep everything simple and to-the-point.

The branding process is not an overnight project and it will involve a lot of back-and-forth until it is ready.

Hire a trusted team and you can put your energy into all of the other things that come with running a successful business...

From the concepts of your branding, right through to the launch of your website.

Design is more than just making pretty pictures; it is a psychology that commands the eye to look at it for more than 2 seconds.

The wrong designer will cost you money and you will have to find a professional to repair the damage of the imposters.

Our creative knowledge and design skills have been tried and tested over two decades, with almost no complaints.

Anyone that says they have never had complaints, is talking from a place that should not be talking.

Everyone makes mistakes and we own ours. As long as they are ours.

As you know, your website is the window to your products, services etc.

There are group of people that will say that you don't need a website, these people are money grabbers known around the world as 'SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS'.

A well-designed website in 2021 is second most important investment (number one is graphic designer). You 100% need a website if you:
‍
A) Have a business
B) Want to make sales

We work closely with you to help the planning and execution of your shiny new website.

Be aware that a website can and will have issues from time-to-time and 99% of those times, it will be human error or something you forgot.

the
backstory.

In the 1990's the world was a very different place

We had the birth of the grunge scene and graphic design was so heavily influenced by that style.

Designers like the legend, Dave Carson. The designer we all aspire to be and some of our work is still heavily inspired by Dave.

Traditionally-Modern

Over the decades (man, we're old) we have adapted to using the internet as a luxury rather than a necessity... we are still to fully embrace social media, we are simply too busy to put the hours in to get the full benefit. Old Dogs.

‍

We often refer to ourselves as 'Traditionally-Modern' and it sums us up perfectly. Traditional values, such as; honesty, transparency and value, with modern techniques and modern software. As with all companies, we have had our ups and downs and we still make mistakes...

after all, we're only human!
