Walk through the Old Town or along Northdown Road and you’ll see how much good graphic design there already is in Margate: hand-painted signs, bold gig posters, careful menus and shop windows that clearly had some thought put into them. That’s the standard customers here are used to, and generic design gets noticed for the wrong reasons.
We produce graphic design for Margate’s venues, retailers, makers and organisations from our Maidstone office. We’ll meet you to take the brief, in Margate or at Union Park, present concepts and go through changes together before anything goes to print or online. Our design services:
We’d rather hear your ideas in person than read them in an email. We can come to your venue or shop in Margate to take the brief and see the space the design has to work in, or you can visit our Maidstone office to look at paper samples and past print side by side. Concepts are presented with the thinking behind them, and we refine them together until they’re right. For print, we’ll arrange proofs and keep an eye on colour and paper choices. If a video call is easier for a quick round of changes, that’s fine too.

Graphic design in Margate: frequently asked questions
Can you design posters for our events programme?
Yes. We can create a template system for a season of events so each poster looks related but distinct, and produce social versions at the same time.
Can we see designs in person before approving them?
Yes. We can bring proofs to you in Margate or you can come and see them at our Maidstone office. A video call is available if you only need a quick sign-off.
Can you design packaging for a small batch run?
Yes. We'll design with your supplier's specifications in mind and keep printing practical for small quantities.
Can you match the style of our existing shop signage?
Yes. Send us photos and any existing files and we'll keep new designs consistent with what's already there.
How quickly can you turn around a menu or flyer?
Smaller pieces can often be done within a week or two, depending on how quickly feedback comes back and when printing is needed.
