From corporate identity and brand design to promotional literature, brochures and other marketing materials, we work with businesses and organisations across the UK and can also coordinate print and publishing where required. Our studio is based in Barwell, near Hinckley, and works with businesses across Leicestershire as well as throughout the UK.

What We Do
Graphic design can involve anything from developing a new identity for a business to producing the individual pieces of artwork needed for a campaign, publication or printed material. We start by understanding what needs to be communicated, who it is for and how the finished design will be used.
Projects can include logo and corporate identity design, brand development, brochures, promotional literature and other marketing materials. Clear communication remains important throughout, particularly when a project involves different pieces of artwork or needs to work across several formats.
Examples include the logo and visual style for AD Structures, a structural engineering business, developed alongside its new website, and a lookbook and promotional literature for footwear brand Marcus De, carrying the visual approach of its website into printed material for exhibitions and other promotional activity.
We can also coordinate print and publishing, helping to carry the work through from the original design to the finished printed piece. Where a business also needs a website or other digital material, the graphic design can work alongside these to maintain a consistent identity.
FAQs about Graphic Design
Yes. The Design Social works with businesses and organisations across the UK, so graphic design projects do not need to be based near our Leicestershire studio. The way the project is managed can be agreed around the brief and the people involved.
Yes. A project can start with a new logo and develop into a wider corporate identity, with the design carried across the different materials a business needs. This helps create a consistent appearance rather than treating each item as a separate piece of design.
Yes. Not every project needs a complete redesign. Existing branding can be used when developing brochures, promotional literature and other materials, with the new artwork designed to work consistently with the identity already in place.
Yes. Artwork can be prepared for its intended print use, taking into account the format and requirements of the finished piece. Where required, The Design Social can also coordinate print and publishing as part of the project.
A design can be developed to work across different formats, although artwork may need to be adapted for each use rather than simply reproduced at a different size. This can help maintain a consistent identity across printed materials, websites and other digital applications.
It helps to understand what you need designed, who it needs to communicate with and how the finished work will be used. Existing logos, brand guidelines, copy, images and examples of current materials can also be useful where they are relevant to the project.
