Power & Sail Leaflet


Power & Sail provide marine electrical design, installations, sales and repair for the sports, leisure and charter boat sectors that includes motorboats, powerboats, ribs, fishing vessels and racing/ cruising yachts. They are based in Lymington and Southampton but operate across the south coast.

It goes without saying that boats don’t come cheap and so boat owners are very discerning when it comes to selecting a company to handle their maintenance. That’s why it was vitally important to Power & Sail that their marketing material reflected the high quality, premium service that they offer.

For the above leaflet Power & Sail provided the text, images and logo - then following their brief we produced the leaflet design.

It’s immediately obvious that this leaflet has been professionally designed. Therefore anyone picking up this leaflet will feel reassured that they are dealing with a professional company. The images on the front grab attention while the reverse provides the necessary details.

Logo Design Southampton

We help companies with their branding. Be it an established business or a brand new start up we have the experience as well as some trusted tools and techniques to help our customers.

Here is an example of a logo we designed as part of a branding process. The first image shows the initial idea our customer had for his company Oyo Mesi Productions.
Oyo was a 15th Century West African Empire and the Mesi were it’s elected councillors.
We developed different concepts for the logo – using different typefaces, colours etc. The second image shows the preferred concept. The earpieces of the headphones make the two Os and the wire the Y.

However as part of the development we questioned the company name. This ultimately led to the renaming of the company to Fitilla Productions – fitilla means lamp.

The third image shows the revised logo.

The last image shows the business card design and how we’ve reinforced the “brand” by using the headphones independently of the company name – this is a spot uv finish.

Jury's Inn Southampton Leaflet


We designed and printed this 2 panel DL leaflet for Jurys Inn in Southampton.

They wanted a leaflet (and some posters) to promote their cruise packages. Jurys Inn offer special pre and post cruise accommodation as well as day guest packages for people to relax before embarking. The packages include transfers between Southampton Airport and the cruise terminals as well as car parking.

We worked with Jurys Inn to design the leaflet and to make sure it fitted in with their corporate branding. It was printed on 150gsm gloss paper.

Leaflets folded down to DL size, like in this example, are so versatile. They can convey a lot of information but are also easy to hand out, leave in leaflet dispensers or use in a direct mail campaign. They look great in glorious full colour and are a very cost effective way of getting your message out.

John Lewis Booklet


We designed and printed this 12 page booklet for John Lewis in Southampton.

They were launching a Leadership Team Development Programme and needed a booklet to inform it's members about the programme and events. Working with John Lewis we developed the "climbing" concept and designed the layout of the whole booklet. The booklet was printed with 170gsm silk inner and a 250gsm Matt Laminated cover.

We design and print a variety of booklets for our clients. They are a great way to impart large amounts of information in a structured way, as this example demonstrates. Other customers use them as catalogues, magazines or swanky brochures - they can't fail to impress. There are lots of different options for different paper stocks for the inners and cover - we can even add business card slots or perforated pages!

Designing a booklet takes a bit of planning so if you are thinking of doing one gives us a call so we can advise you right from the start.

Charity Calendar - Winchester Travel Health


This is a 2010 calendar that we've designed and printed for Winchester Travel Health (www.winchestertravelhealth.co.uk). They are a travel clinic, based in Winchester, that offers advice on the best way to travel safely and healthily. As well as offering advice they carry out vaccinations, provide health screenings and travel health products.

Winchester Travel Health supports the Grace and Hope Foundation which is a charity that funds an orphanage in Ghana. Joanna Lowry, of Winchester Travel Health, thought it would be a good idea to create a calendar made from pictures that her customers have sent to her whilst on their travels. The idea is to sell the calendar and give the profits the foundation.

We created the calendar by screening all the photos to find ones that were of a sufficient quality to be used. We then put together all the artwork and after several drafts, trying out different calendar styles, printed this amazing calendar.

Now Joanna is busy selling them!
