Whether you are a start up needing a logo or an established business needing a brand refresh, marketing literature or an exhibition stand, The Art of Communication is here to provide effective design to get you where you want to be.

Listening properly is at the core of good graphic design. Fully understanding a brief isn’t something all designers seem to be able to do, which is why results sometimes don’t achieve the response they should. But understanding objectives and gaining insights into a company’s needs are among The Art of Communication’s strong points and communication is at the heart of everything. So if you’re looking for thoughtful and thought-provoking graphic design then look no further.

The Art of... Book Design

The Art of Communication works with individuals and businesses wanting to indie-publish their work, providing a personal service to produce covers that reflect the genre and content of the book. We can also help with promotional material and help build an author brand.

Do your marketing materials need a refresh?

Today more than ever printed material can quickly look outdated, especially if it is created to reflect web design. This is why some companies just stick to internet marketing but they are missing an opportunity.

With digital print such excellent quality now, short runs are good solution for producing brochures and leaflets. The internet is an oversaturated marketplace and website view times are frequently just a few seconds. A well thought out targeted brochure landing on a potential client’s desk will have considerably more impact and if it is of sufficient quality will probably be filed for reference until your product or service is required.

If you don’t have leaflets or brochures or they are looking tired it is probably worth seeing if they can be improved on.

“We were keen to have a brand that was friendly yet professional and encompassed the idea of working in harmony. The logo and branding that has followed has really gone down well with suppliers and customers alike.”
