With more people using AI or online apps like Canva to create their own ideas and promotional items, we are noticing an increasing number of instances where clients are disappointed with the printed results when they come to create their business cards, brochures, packaging, etc.

This is because some colours on your screen simply cannot be reproduced in the physical world. An experienced designer can help from inception to create brand colours that will work over all platforms to convey consistency and professionalism across your brand.

With over 40 years of experience - call us to discuss your branding project.

Just before the holidays, one of our clients asked us to help support his partners in China with graphics, posters, a promotional leaflet, and business cards to promote their products. We were only too happy to help and appreciate being sent some photos of the finished exhibition stand based on our designs.

If you have exhibitions booked this year, near or far, we can help with everything needed to create a stand that attracts clients.

With Armistice Day approaching, we thought it might be useful to friends and family of current service personnel or veterans to point you towards a company that can replace, repair, and supply all of your medal requirements.

The site we built for Worcestershire Medal Service is a full e-commerce platform, meaning you can buy directly from the British craftspeople who make them.

Great people to deal with and a knowledge second to none.

We are currently working on several new websites for manufacturing companies, and we think this one demonstrates that they don’t all have to follow the same format.

We started by updating the Pressvess logo, which allowed us to create a bolder, contemporary feel for the business image, including the website.

If you think your website, brand, or messaging could benefit from an update, drop us a line or call 01384 400114.

We find that there is still a significant demand for print, but it has changed: lower quantities, but higher material specifications and expectations for the design to be clear, elegant, and well thought through.

From catalogues to leaflets, we design, print, and advise on the best solution for your organisation.

Sorry we haven't posted for a while. Over the next few weeks, we will be bringing you up to speed on some of the projects we have been working on.

First up, these period-style Interpretation Panels for Avoncroft Museum. Hand-painted backgrounds had to be digitised and combined with information all about their incredible Showman's Wagon.

We wish all of our clients, suppliers, and associates a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2024.

Our offices will close on 21st December and reopen on January 2nd, 2024.

WE ARE 40!

2022 marks the 40th anniversary of Charles Design (How many other design studios can say that!)

Some of our most loyal customers will probably recognise quite a few of our house styles from over the years. Take a look and see how many you remember.
