GRAPHIC DESIGN
Graphic design is all around us whether it is the posts we see on social media, the adverts on the tv, the covers of our favourite records, the pattern on out t-shirts or the packaging of the food we buy.
We love design. We really do. It dosen’t matter if we are designing a logo, business card, album cover or advert, the creative process is something we love.
We can design print ready artwork for anything that can be printed along with graphics for web and social media (including retina/HD ready).
We also offer a full branding package that ensures consistancy across all your print, web and media outlets by supplying graphics in multiple formats and ensuring all colours are both print and web safe/ready.

FAQs
What Are CMYK, Pantone & RGB?
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Key (Black) and is the industry standard for printing. For the purposes of printing, artwork is required to by CMYK. This applies to all colours and images.
Pantone (meaning ‘all colours’, combining pan and tone) is the common name for the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Pantone can be used for graphics for electronic displays but will be converted to CMYK for the printing process.
RGB stands for Red, Green & Blue and these are the colours that are used on electronic displays such as computer monitors, televisions and tablets/phones.
What Are JPG, PNG, GIF & Vector Images?
A JPEG (or JPG) is a widely used compressed (not lossless) image format for containing digital images. It is the most common image format used in digital cameras and for image storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. A JPEG can be saved as either CMYK or RGB.
PNGs unlike a JPEG, offers the ability to have a transparent background and can only be saved in RGB format and uses lossless compression. PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics file and is considered a replacement for GIF.
GIF is an image file format commonly used for images on the web and sprites in software programs. GIFs uses lossless compression that does not degrade the quality of the image, like a PNG, but unlike a PNG, GIFs can be animated. GIF Stands for Graphics Interchange Format.
A Vector graphic is artwork made up of points, lines and curves that are based upon mathematical equations, rather than a solid colored square/pixels like JPEGs, PNGs & GIFs, which allows for the graphic to be made bigger without any pixilation and to change colours.
Other formats for images and graphics include Bitmap, SVG & TIFF.
