Artwork Price Guide

The latest software has really clever wizards which let you knock up a design in no time. But design isn’t about knowing which buttons to press. It’s about creating the mood, delivering the message and making the sale. We will accept your files and print them if you wish (See our file supply guide) but we believe that if you want to look professional, leave it to the professionals. Good design sells. Fact. Bad Design - or even just average design - may do more damage to your business than you care to think. We’d recommend you invest a third of your budget in sorting out some decent artwork. After all, it’s not about how many items you distribute, it’s about how many responses you get. Our design fees are probably lower than you think. See left...
