VeloSolo cards

The latest job to be produced is a calling card for VeloSolo, shipped with any products bought from the best supplier of singlespeed and fixed gear exotica!

To compliment the vast array of sweet gear, VeloSolo wanted a nice cost-effective card which carried through with the contemporary theme of the company. I had already worked with the owner in developing the logo back in Spring 2009 so knew exactly what was required.

Because of the way the cards were to be used a 400gsm silk board was chosen, printed four colour instead of spot, with no special finish - with this in mind the print quality, colour reproduction, finishing and overall feel is extremely good.

Check out the goodies available at VeloSolo.

Printed by Solopress, a budget-conscious, fast turnaround online printer.

March newsletter

February was a busy month, with new clients from all over the Scottish central belt; Edinburgh's Diamond Event Services http://www.diamondeventservices.com/; Glasgow's Jimmy Duncan and some exciting new projects still under wraps; and Stirling's Emotion Energy http://www.emotionenergy.co.uk/ joining the rapidly expanding client list.

During March I will be offering a free design audit! I will take any piece of design work (logo, illustration, flyer layout, business cards and stationery...) and analyse it. My design audit will highlight any weaknesses and show how it could be redesigned to make it more effective. It's completely free of charge and without obligation, so get in touch today (or pass onto someone you know who could do with a makeover).

Vickers Creative is committed to ethical graphic design and print practices. Where possible, I will use printers and suppliers in your area, not overseas. You can be proud that as a small or growing business you are supporting other businesses in your community. I believe this is essential for keeping valuable skills in Scotland and the UK, and in building self-supporting communities for future generations.

Have a great March, looks like Spring has come early!

Site of the Day

AisleOne is one of the most interesting and diverse design blogs I regularly read. Great for a bit of left-field inspiration if the creative juices are drying up!
