Business Planning with ‘Design Your Practice’

Sometimes it can feel as if you get bombarded with so much information, but recently one advert stuck out from the rest. The lovely people at Creative Entrepreneurs' Club were running an eight-week programme called 'Design Your Practice'. The programme was aimed at people who really want to [...]

We belong to Glasgow!

It’s been 6 months since we moved to Glasgow city centre. Time has flown by. It's been a busy, but great 6 months. The move to Glasgow had been on the cards for some time.

As a design agency, your work should speak volumes about the [...]

Don’t stretch the logo!

“It’s okay, it’s just a wee flyer that’s going out to 70 people. Nobody will mind if the logo is a bit stretched”... yes someone cares, I care for a start and so will your customers!" Consistency is key in design, especially how your logo is applied to material. When you are developing a new brand you try to encapsulate what the [...]

Guinness Brand. A trip behind St James’s Gate…

We recently visited the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin where we were treated to some iconic branding... as well as a few pints of the black stuff! When taking on a new project we always recommend that our clients tackle their brand first. For us, getting the brand right is one of the most important parts of the project. It's where we set [...]
