All design work is created in-house by experienced and qualified designers, photographers, copywriters, technical and planning strategists. Photography
and illustration are occasionally commissioned and always art directed by the design team.
Production
Printing and manufacturing is subcontracted. Foreign language typesetting (non Roman alphabets), and high volume or specialist typesetting
are also subcontracted. All are managed by the creative team.
Digital
Scope, functionality, design, development and project management are carried out by the design team. Web programming is managed and, to an
extent, provided in-house. Database driven sites and those needing bespoke content management systems are subcontracted to specialists.
Other
Design implementation involving architects, lighting consultants, signage and other manufacturers is subcontracted and managed by the project team.
Copywriting
Copy and images are creatively interdependent, so we have a copywriter/editor/ strategist who works alongside the creative team. Proofreading for
grammatical and typographic consistency and accuracy is integral to our process. Complex technical writing is occasionally subcontracted.
Photography
Photography, art direction, image manipulation and retouching are all in-house resources. Our studio is equipped to producing high quality
imagery using both digital and film technology.
Photography needing certain specialisms/equipment such as food or fashion, is commissioned from experienced freelancers. Commissioned photographers
work to agreed contracts.
Where library images are to be sourced, we discuss the brief with the client and then research, agree usage and cost.
