Professional publication designs that elevate your brand
With our affordable fees, we service clients in the UK, Europe, the USA and Africa.
One of the hallmarks of our publication design approach is our human-centred design approach, humans connect with, and relate to humans, and the more we introduce authentic human imagery, the more your audiences will connect with your content.
Another expertise we provide is our ability to create authentic communication publications that help to cut through the digital clutter and help audiences effortlessly engage with our work and your content without being aware of the design – the less the reader is aware of the “design”, the more we have achieved in delivering on our remit.
We approach every publication project with meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of our client’s objectives. From concept development to final delivery, our team of experienced designers collaborate closely with you to ensure that your publication looks beautiful and effectively communicates your message.
Our clients have a lot to say, but in an ever-changing world where competition for attention is high, less is more. Publications with too much copy and not enough visual interest can result in readers tuning out. Our publication designs are content-rich, including high volumes of images, photos, infographics, and illustrations, to make for a more engaging reading and viewing experience.
One of the value adds we provide with our publication design services is image sourcing and licensing – we have subscriptions to five professional photo stock libraries, which we use to select highly impactful and evocative imagery to bring your publications to life. We do not charge for image licensing – the images used are free.
Our publication report design fees start at:
With headquarters located in South Africa, our UTC time zone suits many global locations – we service several clients in 21 countries, including the UK, Europe, USA, Africa, South Africa and beyond. We are usually in the same time zone as most European countries, or an hour behind or ahead. South Africa is one hour ahead of the UK in British Summer Time and two hours ahead in British Winter Time.
Our team has a proven track record of delivering award-winning publication and annual report design services to a diverse clientele, including notable organisations and corporations such as The Presidency of South Africa, the National Business Initiative (NBI), the World Bank (USA), The United Nations, Greenpeace Africa, GreenCape, The Centre for Environment Rights, Aerobic Technologies (UK), Digby Wells (UK), Link Medical Solutions (UK), and the Mail & Guardian.
