Graphic design services

Turn your wordy comms into eye-catching visuals, so your audience gets the complete picture.

Reasons you might call on my graphic design services

Your team needs support with upcoming design projects. These might be projects with tight or time-critical deadlines.

You’re collaborating with another organisation and need co-branding for your project. You need a designer who can visually align your two brands without diminishing either identity.

You’ve got a new programme or project that needs branding material. In addition, you might need to apply the new branding to signage, clothing or vehicles.

Most popular graphic design services

My most requested design services are reports (digital and print), public engagement, events and branding.

 

I can help tick these kinds of projects off your to-do list –

 

  • Annual reviews and strategic reports
  • Public engagement campaigns, newsletters and events
  • Branding projects, including partnerships
  • Promotions, presentations and sales support
  • Digital projects like web design and social media

 

As well as working to brand guidelines, you might also be concerned with accessibility. I can guide you through new technologies, processes and compliance requirements, so you feel sure that your message is accessible to all.

Your questions about my design services

What happens when we start to work together?

First, we have a chat about your brief and timeline, then I send you a detailed estimate of design fees. Next, I put myself in your customer’s shoes and get to know you, your market, competitors and vision. At the next stage I show you design concepts, and we agree the direction your project will take. Naturally, I’m available throughout the process for all your questions.

What if we need other services as well as a graphic designer?

That’s fine. I have a network of trusted contacts in aligned services like marketing, copywriting, photography and digital.

Can you handle everything during the design project?

Yes, everything right through to delivery. I can support you every step of the way, from concept design through to production and fulfilment.

How does the design fee work?

You get a detailed estimate at the start of the project, including scope and agreed deliverables. If you need me to, I get set up on your purchase order system. At the end of the project (or stage we agree in advance) I’ll invoice you.

“We have worked with Sarah for several years on artworking and design jobs ranging from booklets and banner stands to magazines. Her work has always been excellent – she has followed briefs effectively, turned work around very quickly when that has been needed, and she has always been professional, flexible and reliable, not to mention a pleasure to work with.”
