Graphic Design Services - London, UK

A bit of smart thinking in innovative graphic design services - business cards which look like sports trading cards  - Kudos goes out to show off cards for coming up with these. Though I doubt they would find any room in more conservative business markets such as we have in the UK and Europe, but I imagine in their market (pre-recession) America (where a fair proportion of adults absolutely love sports trading cards) it could take off.

Continuing our series demonstrating innovate uses of graphic design services - this is the first in a series of logo designs which catch the eye. Inspirational, creative and definately not clip art - a good logo design can connect a name with a visual image to help create and support a brand and its values.

The different ways this can be done reflects the nature of the business and the intended target audience. 

Hopefully the three examples of logo design for 3 separate businesses shown below should help highlight this differentiation

Continuing our series demonstrating innovate uses of graphic design services - in this case the infamous exploding billboard. Used by a courier firm in a marketing campaign that supposedly only cost them $20000 NZ dollars, and yet attracted a million viewers to the youtube recording of the event when it eventually took place.

The concept is of course that deadlines matter, and the consequences of missing the appointed time can be drastic. The exploding billboard was used to reinforce the brand promise of the firm Deadline Couriers - "when we give you a time we mean it".

The campaign, run in 2007, has since received several Asia Pacific awards including a Gold at the Spike Awards and Best in Show titles at New Zealand's Axis award

Information design is one of the branches of graphic design, defined as "the art and science of preparing information so that it can be used by human beings with efficiency and effectiveness".

In other words, simply making sure that the information to be displayed is designed in such a way that it is easily accesible and digestable to the intended audience.
