This wall tells a story.

Every project on it started somewhere else: a conversation, a sketch, a problem to solve, an idea that needed brought to life.

Branding. Websites. Photography. Print. Signage. Garments. Marketing. Years of work, all in one place.

When clients visit the studio, it's where conversations naturally end up. Not because we're showing off, but because it's easier to point at real work, discuss what worked and explore ideas together.

It's become a bit of a physical case study library. A reminder of where we've been, and inspiration for where the next project could go.

Got a project you'd like to see on the wall one day? Let's talk.

A photo of a plate isn't food photography.

Food photography is: the angle, the light, the styling, the props, the moment the steam's still rising. It's the difference between a scroll-past and a screenshot.

We shoot for hospitality and food brands across Scotland - restaurants, takeaways, producers, food and drink businesses. On location or in our Hillington studio.

Creative direction is part of the job, not an extra. If you're not sure what your shoot should look like, that's exactly when to talk to us.

DM us FOOD and let's chat.

Meet Yvonne.

Illustrator. Graphic designer. Also the person at the clothing press making sure it actually comes out the way you intended for your business.

Most studios split those two jobs. The designer hands the file over. The printer does their best with it. Things get lost in translation.

Not here.

When Yvonne designs a print, she knows exactly how it'll behave on the press - because she's the one running it. The aesthetic decisions and the practical ones happen in the same head.

Which is why the work that leaves her press tends to look like the work that left her sketchpad or as the file you sent her.

Need illustration, design, or garment work? She's your person. Link in bio.

We print garments. Properly.

Uniforms for your staff. Branded kit for franchise partners. Polos, tees, hoodies, workwear, hi-vis - the lot. Same brand, every site, every time.

Here's where most businesses get stuck:

→ Different printers in different locations = inconsistent kit
→ Reordering means starting from scratch every time
→ New starter? Two-week wait for a tee
→ Franchise partner goes rogue with their local print shop
→ Suppliers have minimum order quantities that you don't need or don't budget for

We fix all of that.

Brand-locked artwork. Easy reorders. Stock held when it makes sense. No minumum order. One supplier across every site.

Got a team to kit out? Got franchise partners who need consistent branding? DM us GARMENT and let's chat.

What partnership actually looks like (and why you rarely see it).

We've been working with the Scottish Marketing Summit for months. Strategy sessions. Planning. Discussing ideas. Collaboration. All happening long before the event itself.

That's the work most people don't see.

Partly because we're heads-down getting it done. Partly because we respect our clients' privacy - it's their project to share when they're ready. And honestly? Sometimes we just forget to capture the moment.

But this is the difference between a printer and a partner. The difference between a printer and a creative agency.

A printer takes the brief.
A partner helps shape it, months out, not days out.

If that's the kind of relationship you want with the people doing your creative work, get in touch.

This is where things get satisfying.

Foiling in action.

Precision. Detail. Finish.

This is one of those processes that takes a design from “nice” to proper premium - whether it’s packaging, business cards or branded print.

It’s also a big part of what we do - combining creative design with in-house production so everything is consistent, high quality, and done properly.

We’ve invested heavily in our machines over the years - and this is just one of them.

Before anything goes live - this happens.

Planning. Strategy. Partnerships.

This is where ideas get turned into something that actually works for a business.

From marketing strategy to brand positioning and partnerships, it’s about making sure everything connects - not just looks good in isolation.

Because design without direction is just noise.

At Yellow Slate Design, we work with businesses across the UK to build joined-up marketing, branding and content strategies that deliver real results.

It’s why we started in the first place.

We saw great design executed well… but let down in production.

So we brought print in-house to control the quality.

Then we saw strong design and print… poorly marketed.

So we expanded again.

Now, we work as little or as closely with our clients as they need - managing everything from concept through to delivery.

Not just posts. Not just print.

A full picture.

We aren't against AI but theres a time and place for it - design & brand creation is definitely not the place for it.

Real people.
Real movement.
Real brand building.

Behind the scenes of a logo shoot - working with positioning, shape and energy to make sure the final identity actually feels right, not just looks right.

Because branding isn’t just about a mark on a screen.

It’s how it lives, moves and shows up in the real world.
AI has its place - but this is what we do.
Hands-on, creative, and built around real brands.

If you want branding that actually connects - not just exists - let’s talk.

Not everything in the studio is planned…

…but somehow, it still looks good.

Hundreds of tubes. Materials everywhere.

And these strange, accidental patterns that just happen as we go about our day.

It’s one of those things - when you’re constantly creating, even the in-between moments start to feel creative.
This is what a working studio actually looks like.
Not staged. Not perfect. Just real.
And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
