Graphic design can help raise the profile of your business by providing a platform for getting your products and / or services noticed.

The first step in providing effective marketing is a strong brand and logo which will help create a recognisable identity for your business.

You should then promote it further with the use of:-
• Stationery: e.g. business cards to hand out to contacts you make, so that they can easily get hold of you.
• Posters or signs to catch the attention of passing traffic.
• Flyers, leaflets or brochures to give directly to your target audience with more in-depth information.
• Adverts in relevant publications to promote your name and get you noticed.

Remember that you can use design for all aspects of your business, so give me a call for free and friendly advice.

A web site is an integral part of marketing your business. It allows you to reach your target audience with information that is easily accessible.

Web Design is also environmentally friendly because it is easy to amend or update without the need for costly reprints using ink and paper.

You can further advertise your business through the use of animated online banners which will generate more traffic to your site and therefore to your business as well.

To make it even easier for you, I can also provide domain name registration and excellent hosting for your site.

Your company logo and branding is integral to marketing your business as it provides you with a recognisable identity. This is integral to getting more trade from your customers as it helps people remember your name and visual identity.

By having a clear and concise logo and brand, it is easier for people to recognise your business. This means that if you have given someone a business card and they then look at your website or see your shop sign they will associate it with you.

Once you have a brand worked out for your business it also makes future marketing easier and quicker as you have a style to use for business cards, letterheads, compliment slips and other marketing like flyers, posters, vouchers and even your website.

Illustration can be used to visually represent a particular topic you are trying to get across, an aspect of your marketing, or just to create an eye catching image to draw people's attention and therefore get you noticed.

It is also useful for other commissioned or stylised artwork like caricatures or people or for c.d. covers where you need some original artwork created as opposed to just using royalty free imagery.

There are many different styles of illustration that can be used i.e.
• Vector imagery which allows you to scale the artwork up to any size without loss of quality and is perfect for printing vinyl signs or onto t-shirts and many other reproduction techniques which are useful to marketing your business.
• Photoshop painting which can produce very stylised artwork and add a distinct element of individuality to your advertising.
• Image manipulation is also a good way to produce stunning illustrations which involves making a completely new image out of pre-existing photos, scanned in elements or anything else you can get your hands on.
