Print & signage
The work people pick up, walk past, and walk through. Physical pieces that have to survive contact with the real world.
Print is unforgiving. There is no revision after it ships, no hotfix on a vehicle wrap, no A/B test on a tradeshow booth. It has to be right the first time, which means understanding the production process as well as the design.
I have been specifying print since 2003 and working with fabricators and installers the whole way. That matters when a file has to survive being scaled to the side of a building.
What it includes
The deliverables
Brochures and catalogues
Multi-page pieces with a real information hierarchy, set up properly for the press that is printing them.
Business cards and stationery
The pieces that get handed over in person, where stock and finish do as much work as the design.
Packaging
Dielines, print-ready artwork, and shelf presence — designed against the competitors it will actually sit beside.
Vehicle wraps
Templated to the exact make and model, with the message legible at speed and the seams falling where they should.
Tradeshow booths
Large-format graphics, structure, and the sightlines that decide whether people stop walking.
Wayfinding and signage
Interior and exterior systems that stay readable at distance and hold up outdoors.
How it works
The process
-
Specify
Sizes, stocks, finishes, quantities, and production method — before any design happens, because it changes the design.
-
Design
Concepts shown at real scale and in context, not as thumbnails on a screen.
-
Prepress
Bleeds, trims, colour profiles, dielines. Files your printer opens without sending questions back.
-
Press check
On the important runs, I check the first sheets so a colour shift does not become ten thousand pieces.
