Graphic Design in Aberdeen for Small Businesses

Good graphic design makes your business easy to recognise and easy to trust. I create custom graphic design for small businesses in Aberdeen and across the UK, from banners and large format displays to infographics, flyers, posters, printed materials and social media graphics. Everything is built from scratch around your brand, so every piece looks like it belongs to you and never like a template.

Banners and large format

Banners and large format graphics have one job, to be read clearly from a distance while people are moving. I design outdoor banners, billboards, roll up banners for events and exhibitions, and digital banners for websites and social media.

Designing for a large format is different from designing for a screen or a printed page. From several metres away a viewer only has a second or two to take in your message, so I build each banner around one main idea and let it lead. I keep the hierarchy simple, use strong contrast so the words stay legible outdoors, and crop images so the focus reads instantly. When a project belongs to an established brand, I work within the client brand guidelines so the banner sits naturally alongside everything else they produce.

Thanks to my collaboration with Farsight, I had the opportunity to design a large format banner for Hotel Aloft by Marriott Aberdeen. The banner was installed at the entrance to Aberdeen airport, so it needed to work at a large scale and be readable from a moving car. The design is entirely my own work: within the client brand guidelines, I built it around one strong lifestyle photograph, bold typography and graphic waves that add movement, so the whole piece stays clear from a long distance.

Farsight is a creative agency in Aberdeen that specialises in video production, strategic storytelling and digital content for businesses. Led by Michael Silva, the studio works with clients such as DSV Aberdeen, QHSE Aberdeen, MacBeans Coffee Roasters and Aberdeen Arts Centre.

Roll up banner for AMS Beauty Academy

For AMS Beauty Academy I designed a roll up banner in their brand colours. It brings together what they offer, nails, injectables and massage, along with the treatments their courses cover, into one cohesive graphic. It stands in their studio and doubles as a branded backdrop, where students take their photos at the end of each course.

Infographics and data

Infographic and Data Visualisation

An infographic turns numbers, steps or comparisons into something people actually want to read. I design clear, on brand infographics and data visualisation for reports, social media, presentations and printed handouts, so your information is easy to follow at a glance, while every figure stays accurate.

Whether it is a single social media infographic or a set of charts for a report, the design is built to match your brand and guide the reader from one point to the next.
