Why invest in Design?

Professional design services by a skilled graphic designer may prove invaluable for your business especially when you are investing money in new signage, workwear, vehicle coverings, or a website. Opting for a designer ensures that your investment results in compelling advertising and displays. Keep reading to learn exactly how design services can work to your advantage.

Consistent Brand Image

Every well-known business has easily identifiable visual features that are consistent across their advertising platforms. Whether it’s a logo, colour scheme, typeface, layout, or image, these visual features form your brand image and are what help your business ‘stick’ in the minds of potential customers. A professional graphic designer uses consistency to create a recognisable and memorable brand image, so you don’t end up with an inconsistent brand image that appears unfinished, jumbled, or messy.

Impactful First Impression

The human brain processes visual data better than other types of data. According to the International Forum of Visual Practitioners , “The brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, and 90 per cent of the information transmitted to the brain is visual.” This means your best chance at creating a positive and impactful first impression with future customers is via well-designed visuals that represent your business.

Designers Are Experts at Visual Communication

With the rise of photo-based social media platforms and the fast-paced circulation of images by mobile phones, computers, TV, radio, billboards, magazines and more, our brains are constantly receiving visual communications. Professional graphic designers are experts at this type of communication and know how to cut through the noise, effectively delivering a clear message to your customer audience.

Save Money

It might be counterintuitive to think that paying for design services saves you money. However, a cheap, poorly designed product that does not print clearly will lead to reprints and redesigns down the road. Why not pay for a quality design upfront to save yourself money (and time) in the long run?

Your Time is Valuable

It can be tempting to do your designs in-house. However, professional graphic designers have years of educational and hands-on experience, are up to date on the current trends, and know the ins and outs of industry-specific tools. This means they know the fastest and most effective way to complete a project. Outsourcing your design services allows you to focus your time and energy on what your business excels at rather than spending hours figuring out design strategies, trends, and tools.

Professional Look

Just like you wouldn't show up to a job interview wearing jeans and an old t-shirt, maintaining a professional look is equally important when it comes to how you present your business. A professional look translates to customer trust. Your customers want to know that you take your business seriously and take pride in the goods or services you offer. Investing in professional design services ensures your business has a professional look across all advertising and products.

Translate Your Design to Different Presentations

Clothing, banners, signage, vehicle coverings, brochures, websites - there are many presentations your design might take on. A professional graphic designer knows how to translate your design to different mediums, materials, and sizes while maintaining the quality of the design.

Foster Employee Pride

A strong brand identity enhanced by graphic design can contribute to a happy, healthy workplace that employees are proud to belong to. Good graphic design reflects a company’s vision and suffuses through staff uniforms, business cards, email communications, the company website, and more. Investing in high-quality graphic design can foster employee pride, which in turn has a positive effect on your customers and sales.

Our experienced team of designers are able to offer a wide range of different design services. We have many years of experience in the industry and know what works when it comes to marketing materials.  Can’t find what you were looking for? Just get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Design works hand in hand with our other services. If you want a new logo designed for some workwear or vehicle signwriting designed and fitted by Octagon. we can do that.

“In the UK, for every £1 invested in design, businesses can expect over £20 in increased revenues.”

Your Business, Our answers

?

We start all projects by thoroughly discussing the details of the project with the client. From this discussion we establish the specific requirements, which we call The Brief. We believe that client input is a crucial factor to making the project a success. Once we have established the brief, we begin work on the project by researching ideas. These initial ideas are worked up on the latest computers into design visuals using the latest graphic/web design software. The design visuals are then forwarded onto the client for feedback. We listen carefully to client feedback, offering solutions and advice to any issues that may arise. If any alterations are required, these are made and the amended visual is resubmitted to the client. This process continues until we receive client approval.

Once we have received the final payment, we will supply all electronic files digitally. For print jobs, you will also receive high resolution PDFs, which can be taken to our printing division for the best results.

YES, you get EPS (vector), jpeg, png, and a word file that works like clipart. Our logo design can be used to complete stationery and brand marketing – including business card, letterhead, envelopes, brochure design, websites, graphics for web sites, direct mail design, email marketing, mailing labels, presentation folders, and any other designs your business may require.

Once deposit is received, normal turnaround for logo design is 14 days. We present the logos to the client at the black and white stage, then again at color stage, and wait for final approval before we send out all the files for you. The client logo files are their artwork and we are up front about this part of the process. We do save your work in case you lose the files or need them sent again.

As a non-agency, we listen to our clients from the start. We encourage the client to bring in any samples, color combinations/swatches, and ideas they may have to help us get an idea of style before starting to work with new clients. During the design process, the client is asked to approve certain colors and fonts before work continues. Once the design project is ready for print we will submit a final proof for the customer’s approval before submitting to production. Once a job is in production, the job cannot be cancelled. At the conclusion of a project, the client may request the artwork in various formats if payment was made for design services.
