Design is everywhere, and it comes in many forms; from a business card or a flyer to help promote your brand to an entire event promotion, artworking to a corporate template or conceptual design from the ground up. Here's a flavour of some recent projects: Publishing design, Corporate branding and literature, Advertisements, Direct mail, Catalogues, Logos, Brochures, Posters, Flyers, leaflets, Invitations, Newsletters, Websites, Photo re-touching and editing, Exhibition material and Instruction manuals. I have a network of trusted suppliers who specialise in different production techniques, from letterpress to gold edging, die-cut to laser-cut, building and vehicle signs and everything else in-between.
Sometimes you have a project and a photo doesn't work; a logo, product catalogue, pack insert or instruction / assembly manual for example. Whether you need a 2D or 3D product, map or graph illustrated, in full or exploded, fully rendered, shaded or a line drawing... then I can help.
Online and virtual meetings have become a regular, daily occurrence and with them comes a neeed to edit those meetings, remove sections or background interferences and add in branded backgrounds. I can help you to set up your virtual meeting as well as to turn the recorded output into a polished, on-demand resource ready to host online or distribute digitally. I can also turn your virtual meetings into a podcast with advanced audio editing methods, so as to widen your brand's online presence.
You want to know a little about me? ... I'm Richard. A qualified and experienced graphic designer based in Reading, Berkshire. I started out my design career in 1998 after completing my HND and since qualifying I have worked as an in-house designer for several large international companies before setting out as ‘be inspired'.
Now my clients are nationwide; from a chain of hotels spread across the country to a local (but quite well known) castle, international publishers, start-ups, blue chip as well as research and software simulation companies... not to mention freelancing for several design agencies too!
I pride myself in providing an agency standard of work and service at an affordable and competitive rate. I use the latest Adobe design software and can either work from home or come and work on-site, all I need is access to your broadband... and your kettle!
"Creative, hard-working and trustworthy, Richard is a pleasure to work with. Over the years he has used his initiative to understand each brief and turn around projects both quickly and to the highest standard. Richard understands our brand values and business needs as one of the UK's largest educational publishers to create leaflets, flyers, banner ads and catalogues which live up to his company's name... inspiring."
"Richard has been our 'go-to' man for the past few years for all our design and print work, he never ceases to impress us with his ideas and designs and is happy to take on the variety of different and quirky projects we throw his way. He always meets deadlines and works hard at getting the best prices for us, he arranges every detail from idea to delivery, we are so pleased that he is part of the Highclere Castle team."
"I cannot recommend Richard enough for the outstanding quality of his work. He is quick to pick up on the concept of a brief and it's important parts. He works very quickly and has continually exceeded my expectations. He is direct, honest, and happy to leave decisions to you while able to offer an opinion if sought. He is very accessible and responsive. I have quickly learnt to trust him which is a huge relief and I can vouch for his good nature and common sense when it comes to budgets. I highly recommended Richard for any size of job or level of complexity."
If you have a project that you'd like to discuss, you'd like to find out my availability, or you just want to say hello... then you're in the right place!
