We provide a professional graphic design and advertising
design resource to our clients. Carbon Creative professionals
have over 15 years experience working on a wide range
of design sectors including corporate, bluechip, retail,
advertising and government bodies. We design for all
mediums, taking into consideration future brand growth needs. Some of the most common
design solutions include advertising, brand logo /
visual identity, brochure, exhibition, packaging,
direct mail, marketing, stationery and website design.
Your company will benefit from having experienced
design professionals applying intelligent marketing
and design solutions to answer the brief presented.
It is often counter productive to attempt to design
your own company literature, website etc. A good graphic
design agency will have professional experienced
personnel that will think beyond the job in hand and
offer an objective view on the project. Carbon Creative
strives to develop a concept for every job, not just produce something graphically interesting. Microsoft Word and Publisher are also not always user-friendly for printers, we ensure every file created is of high resolution and of a press ready format.
Unlike some other agencies we do not charge high release
fees for our work, upon receipt of final payment we
release all intellectual property rights on the design
and copyright is yours. With the exception that we
reserve the right to feature the work in our portfolio
and our own self promotional material.
We always start by thoroughly discussing the details
of the project with the client.
Essentially we call this the design brief, it can
be verbally communicated through a meeting. We encourage
the client to contribute ideas and samples of items and
colours that are liked. Equally important is to understand
concepts that the client doesn't like. When we are satisfied
we have enough information to work with, we will begin
the project by researching ideas, considering concepts
and then laying out design visuals, these will be
forwarded to the client for feedback. We listen carefully
to our clients feedback and make the necessary changes
to the layouts and offer advice on why we arrived
at the design conclusions submitted. This process
of amendment and resubmission continues until the
design naturally evolves into its final form.
This is rare. Sometimes we hit the nail on the head first time,
sometimes it can take a number of discussions and design submissions before the client is happy with the concept. Ultimately we always
ensure our clients walk away satisfied and we feel
comfortable that we have put out a job to our highest
standards within the confines of the timescale, brief
and budget provided.
Our rates for logo design range between £250
and £450 depending on the number of design iterations
we provide.
Your stationery is one of the most ubiquitous parts
of your visual identity / brand image. Stationery
is often overlooked as simple administrational paperwork
but it's much more than that, it's a stealthy method
of marketing your companies image and ideals. Stationery
design should compliment the logo and feature continuations
of the concepts introduced in the logo. We highly
recommend you commission us to complete your stationery
design. It's inexpensive and definitely worth it.
Yes, if we are creating a logo and visual identity
for you we recommend producing a brand guidelines
document. This illustrates to other designers and
graphic professionals the importance of maintaining
a consistent brand image for your company through careful
use of the logo, typefaces, colours and placement
of elements on a page. A document such as this often
covers do's and don'ts and provides an incredibly
helpful resource to others. It also demonstrates a
level of professionalism within your company that
marketing and brand image is an important asset you
maintain and protect.
We produce design work for all mediums and with all
mediums in mind. Whether it's a design for print, design
for web or design for merchandise. The common factor
is to maintain a consistent design that will span
all mediums in a cost effective, individual and indelible
manner.
We offer a full turn key solution from design, artwork,
print handling and delivery. This could include print
management and calling from stock, transitioning
print material for electronic delivery, website, cd
roms, presentation, exhibition work etc, the list
is endless.
