Beautiful things

Consider three pieces of printed material containing the exact same information. One is high gloss, all the colours of the rainbow and a tad anarchic. One is a plain white sheet of text. The last is subtly designed, has relevant illustrative imagery and the information arranged in a logical way. Which do you choose for your business?

A simple choice really but a lot of corporate information is communicated so poorly that the readers, users and managers fail to understand it. Internally that's a disaster; externally (in marketing brochures for example)and it impacts the impression given to your potential customers.

I have taken the time to develop my skills in design work, primarily for business communication, so that information can be transferred as quickly as possible within a business. When it is well designed it is more effective and the response in the user is more pronounced.

My skills in design now extend to -

• Corporate documentation; internal and external
• Business stationery and branding
• Logo design
• Advertising
• Magazine and brochures
• Wed development
• Internal CMS development

A good design enhances your communication ability.

Web Design

There was no getting away from it - the interweb is now all powerful. The vast majority of businesses now have some form of web presence, some bad and some good. A lot of organisations also have intranets, those internal interwebby things. In both cases they are intended to communicate with people, which is where I neatly fit in.

You know when you've hit upon a 'good' website, you just instictively see and use it and think, 'blimey that's simple', and that's their genious. Making it look effortless while being fantastic. Implemented well, and in a business environment they can make your life much easier through improved communication.

Whether internal content management systems (CMS), intranets or regular Customer facing web sites are your requirement, I can help you.
