A Studio for All Seasons - and blooming good ideas!

It's official - one of the hardest winters on record is nearly over and Spring is sprung at last. A big advantage of working in a splendid, comfortable studio (when some poor people have to work outdoors to earn a living) is the fact that whatever is going on outside, the creativity and buzz of a busy graphic design studio carries on unabated.

But the economic climate has been pretty cold too, and many of our clients have weathered some difficult financial storms over the past few months. This has meant adapting to smaller budgets, making their marketing tools work harder and looking at alternative ways of producing collateral to be more cost effective.

There is no doubt that digital graphic design is on the up and conventional print on the way down, and whilst there is always a place for printed literature, many companies are now looking at online, digital, interactive alternatives to, and versions of their traditional promotional materials.

Cradduck Design has always been known for innovative - but realistic - design solutions. And this trend towards more interactivity, eg online magazines with embedded video/audio or the use of social networking for corporates, is an area of unprecedented growth and one that we have embraced.

With the warmer weather we are hoping to enjoy soon, comes hot news of the latest ideas from the Cradduck Design studio - eBlasters to get your email campaigns across quickly; short run, bespoke, digitally printed brochures that look every bit as good as conventionally printed literature but at a fraction of the cost; 'joined up' online campaigns that cross media boundaries.

Whether you are looking for a magazine, brochure, a new image, a gross of embroidered shirts, a website or an email campaign, give us a call on +44 (0) 1962 734606 or contact us online to talk to the experts.

So what makes a good design?

Graphic design, whether it is a simple logo design or elaborate brochure, must work to succeed; if should look professional and attractive too, of course, but the first function of graphic design is to communicate a clear and impelling message to the recipients: ‘Buy Me!'
