A document may look like bad design and be badly designed, but don't let that fool you. It really is badly designed.

Print Design

OK, so we might have paraphrased Groucho Marx in the statement above, but investing in design can reap huge benefits for companies prepared to ensure that every aspect of their output has the right look and feel and at Frontmedia we can help you achieve those benefits. But don’t take our word for it, the Design Council’s “Design Index 2003” showed that “UK companies recognised for using design out-perform the stock market by 25%”. We reckon that’s a pretty impressive potential return on investment.

Over the last decade, we’ve worked on print projects for companies ranging from start-ups to corporate behemoths, the common threads in all the work being creativity, professionalism and the care we bring to every project. We work with you every step of the way to ensure you get the best design solution for your marketplace. Our designs showcase your expertise and experience. By using design, you'll increase not only your own but also your customers confidence in your business.

• Brochures, catalogues & newsletters

  Brochures, catalogues and newsletters play a vital role in promoting your business to existing and potential customers. Every facet of our design process is geared towards showcasing your company’s services or products to their best advantage. Catalogues should be intuitive to use, with clear presentation of information. Brochures must communicate your company values and goals effortlessly. Newsletters that aren't informative and engaging won't find an audience.

  Having literature that is professionally designed will give you confidence and your customers confidence in you.

• Promotional leaflets, flyers & postcards

  If you want to raise your company profile then a leaflet, flyer or postcard is a great way to start. Whatever the size, from an A5 flyer to a gatefold (or any other fold) leaflet, we design to maximize and focus the recipient on your message. Whether your market is business-to-business or business-to-consumer, Frontmedia deliver a high-quality design that will engage your target audience effectively.

• Business stationery & folders

  For every letter posted, every business card handed out, badly designed (and printed) stationery will reflect on your company. Luckily Frontmedia consistently produce quality, bespoke designs that are more than just functional they make your business stand out and be taken seriously. Whatever your budget, we can create a stationery set that is consistent throughout and reflects the standards of your business and corporate image.

• Packaging and point-of-sale

  Packaging design should entice, educate and most importantly have impact on the shelf! It needs to speak directly to consumers about the quality and brand values not only of the product, but your company as a whole. It’s essential that there is an interaction between “it” and the consumer at the point of purchase. Frontmedia consider shape, colour, texture and clarity of message to ensure the finished design enables the consumer to make an informed buying decision. How will it sit on the shelf? How it will be held? How it will be opened? Get these elements right and watch your sales climb!

  A good point-of-sale display can not only reinforce the products brand values but is a useful tool to extend those core messages. Frontmedia understand these considerations and deliver solutions that will work in the particular environment required.

• Advertising

  OK, so we’re not Saatchi & Saatchi. We still understand the importance of advertising as a tool to attract new customers and ultimately increase sales. If you’re after a campaign that is creative and enduring, delivering a consistent brand message, then we can help. Our work has already helped many of our clients to really engage with their target audience.

  Different mediums require a different approaches. Press advertising brings with it different considerations (and limitations) to a billboard advert for example. A billboard poster requires powerful imagery combined with short, snappy copy to maximise impact and engage a moving target audience. A press ad engages it reader with a little more ‘dwell time’. A ‘killer’ image or strapline is still an essential but, additional targeted copy can supplement the message - a coupon or reply slip can be incorporated to monitor a response.

• Pop up stands, banner displays & exhibition graphics

  Looking for a quick and versatile way to promote your company? Then a pop up stand or banner display system could be the answer. We've created designs for a broad range of display stands and systems, delivering brand consistency and bags of visual impact. If you need something a little larger, we’ve produced graphics and artwork for many an exhibition too. No job is too small or too big. Literally.

• Going to press

  When it comes to finally going to press we can advise on choice of paper stock, format and print finishes and most importantly recommend the right ones to work for you and your budget.

  If you're concerned about the environmental impact of your print jobs, then we can offer advice on that too. We work closely with a pioneer of environmental printing who have steadily been reducing their impact on the environment for over 14 years!  They don’t just print on recycled paper. Every aspect of the print process and it’s environmental footprint are considered – right down to the renewable electricity that powers the press!

Basically, if it can be printed, we can design it! We offer “big agency” design skills without the “big agency” costs and you can’t say fairer that that. If you think you’d like to get some smart, creative design for your company, give us a call on 01621 890220 and say hello!
