Graphic Design
Graphic design isn’t only about making something look good – the function and purpose are just as important. We focus on creating engaging design outcomes that convey your message to the people you want to connect with.
creating visual solutions
Our design skillset and knowledge of communication provide organisations and businesses with visual solutions that are relevant, meaningful and effective. We work without prejudice – our focus is on successful outcomes for our clients.
We support organisations with creating visual solutions through our graphic design services. It can be anything from a logo to a wayfinding map, a product catalogue to a set of cards. Graphic design covers a great expanse of possibilities. If it’s something visual you need, it’s likely we have already done it before (and can help you!).
Research and Development
We believe that completing preliminary work is important in developing functional and meaningful graphic design, rather than just “jumping in”. Pen and paper are our tools of trade before we even consider using the computer to begin a project.
We often ask a lot of questions, collate the answers, follow through with additional research and then brainstorm ideas. The design concepts come after the preliminary work is completed. We go through the same process for all projects, no matter how simple or complex they are.
Design Elements
There are a lot of elements that are used in graphic design which shouldn’t be ignored or skimmed over. Layout, typesetting and colours are a couple of the aspects we take into consideration, but there are many more. We always focus on refining each element in a design to make sure they fill their use and purpose.
Design should communicate, not just look good.

Damien Keith, Views Cape Schanck
"We are thrilled with the new website. It is just so clean, clear, bright and so very professional. It was a challenge to combine two old websites into one functional website, and through lots of brainstorming and persistence we came up with the perfect solution. The new website is modern, fresh, and informative, meeting all the needs of MCISC. It was a much bigger project at this end than we though it would be, so we are grateful for your flexibility and understanding."
