In a city full of visitors, a lot of trade is won in the few seconds someone spends glancing at a window, a sandwich board or a menu by the door. Canterbury’s independent shops, cafés and attractions compete for the same passing attention, while firms out at Wincheap or Hersden need brochures and proposals that look as professional as the work they deliver.
We design print and digital material that does its job at a glance and still holds up on a closer read. The work covers:
We like to start design work face to face, so we’ll meet you at your Canterbury premises or at our Maidstone office, or on a video call if that’s easier, to talk through the brief and look at any existing material. First ideas are presented in person where possible so you can hear the thinking behind them, and printed proofs let you check colours and paper before a full run. Many city businesses have seasonal deadlines, such as summer menus, freshers’ events and Christmas promotions, so we agree delivery dates at the start and work backwards from them.
1. Brief
Tell us what the piece is for, who will see it and where it will be used.
2. Concepts
We present initial directions and talk you through the thinking.
3. Refine
You comment on the drafts and we develop the chosen route.
4. Proof
Digital proofs, and printed samples where colour matters, for final sign-off.
5. Deliver
Print-ready and web-ready files, organised so you can find them again.
We design for businesses in Canterbury, across Kent and around the UK, with every project run from our Maidstone studio. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
Graphic design in Canterbury: frequently asked questions
Can you design material aimed at visitors to Canterbury?
Yes. We think about where the piece will be seen, for example on a busy street or handed over at a till, and design so the key message lands quickly.
Do you arrange printing?
We can supply print-ready files for your preferred printer or recommend options and handle the files for you.
Can we see printed proofs before signing off?
Yes. For colour-critical work we can post printed proofs to you in Canterbury before the full run goes ahead.
Can you work with our existing logo and brand?
Absolutely. We'll follow your current guidelines, or suggest small improvements if something isn't working well in print or online.
How quickly can you turn around a leaflet or poster?
Simple pieces can be quick once we have the content. Tell us your deadline when you first get in touch and we'll be clear about what's realistic.
