Design

Graphic design is about visual communication. It can be seen everywhere. We respond to it constantly, often without even realising it. Symbols used all over the world show that instructions and directions can be very clear without the need to understand the language. However, from a business point of view, graphic design is about using a combination of special skills; to understand and interpret wants, needs and budgets; to do research, create words, visual effects and merge them into an aesthetically logical form that pleases the eye, creates impact and sends a memorable message. It is a tall order but paper and print are still an exciting product that gets you and your business noticed.

At Notions by Design advice on print and promotional matters comes free, it is part of our service, and that includes being able to take advantage of our knowledge of specialist suppliers materials. We have wide experience of producing everything from a simple leaflet to a full-colour magazine, one-off illustration and cartoons to full corporate identity.

Notions by Design is the studio of David Charlesworth GRA, one of Derbyshire’s best known professional artists, who believes commissioned design and artwork really works best when it is a shared experience between artist and client.

And we still love this form of creativity – impact and the illusion of life and movement on a flat surface. The only visual work we don’t do is video – because we still prefer ‘still’ pictures for impact and pleasure!
