Graphic design services
What is graphic design?
Graphic design encompasses so much more than just making graphics.
Although it does include designing various visuals – from the smallest such as labels and business cards to large projects such as designing books and company brand identities – it also includes a dialogue with the client.
The graphic designer’s job is also to talk to the client so they can arrive at the best solution – together. Then, they start sketching and making the final design based on these sketches.
If needed, the graphic designer also provides instructions to printers and others who will be involved in making the design reality.
What is the role of a graphic designer?
A graphic designer has multiple roles. They should:
Be understanding and sympathetic towards the client’s needs
Be creative enough to come up with an effective graphic design
Possess the necessary technical knowledge to create the design
Have the organizational skills to turn the design into reality.
What makes a high-quality work of graphic design?
Apart from being impeccable form a technical point of view, a graphic design must successfully convey a specific message to the reader/viewer.
Although images are the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of graphic design, knowledge of typography plays a large role, as does the use of color, hierarchy, and spatial relationships. These all affect whether or not what’s most important will be emphasized.
Apart from this, of course, a graphic design should be esthetically pleasing and made with the aim of fulfilling the client’s expectations, wishes, and goals.
Knowing the context of the graphic design is also important:
These are only some of the factors that contribute to a successful work of graphic design.
In essence, a high-quality graphic design will be able to harmoniously present information in a way that’s simultaneously clear, legible, esthetically pleasing and, what’s maybe most important, it will convey the message that it’s supposed to convey.
What graphic design services do we offer?
Having developed a sensibility for all things visual through our work as art historians and, in Dora’s case, many years of experience in painting and graphic design, we have equipped ourselves with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to design a wide array of graphics design solutions.
Logo design
After a brief initial conversation with you about the nature of your business and its visual identity (or perhaps your personal brand), as well as your goals, we can get to work on designing your logo.
We will always provide several solutions so you can choose the one that you prefer.
Your logo design project will include several edits so that the outcome will be completely in line with your wishes and expectations.
Brochures and pamphlets
Regardless of the purpose of the brochure or pamphlet – a sports event, concert, exhibition or something else entirely – you can count on DLightful Services to create a brochure or pamphlet that will successfully convey your message and attract visitors.
Book design and preparation for printing
Book design, typesetting, and printing pep is a large project that requires, in addition to creativity, a high level of technical knowledge and organizational skills.
DLightful Services bases its practice precisely on a balance of these qualities.
In addition to this, you’d want someone who really loves books to design one for you, right? You won’t go wrong with DLightful Services, then.
After sending me the text and photos, and with a bit of patience (book design is a large project after all), you can expect a meticulously prepared book that will be both visually appealing and a joy to read.
Poster design
Perhaps you want to have a poster to promote a specific event that you’re organizing? Or you want something creative, unrestricted, and almost artistic in nature?
No problem.
The start of every project with DLightful Services begins with an initial conversation where you tell me your expectations and wishes for the design. After that, you leave the rest to me and get your poster sent to you, ready to be digitally published or printed – whichever you need.
