Know When (And When Not) to Design It Yourself
We’ve all been enticed at some point to take on a project ourselves to save money. But in the end, did we really do ourselves any favors?
Recently, a small business owner contacted us to print her custom postcards. This client had designed the cards herself using a competitor’s online designer. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the files due to a watermark. So, we suggested that she let one of our graphic designers recreate it for her.
Postcard Design (Before):
Postcard Design (After):
Online design software is very tedious, and the results can wind up being less than spectacular.
A professional designer is not just going to build a file; they are going to design a piece that fits YOUR needs, not the generic needs of anyone who needs a postcard.
What’s YOUR Postcard Message?
Working with a professional designer will ensure that your message is clear. The client’s original artwork included a lot of text that made it difficult for the reader to fully grasp the message. A quality design should present your message in a clear and concise manner.
This particular customer spent over two hours using the competitor’s online designer. With a small design fee, our designers can reduce your stress and provide you with a printed product you will truly be proud of. Additionally, when you break down other printers’ tricky pricing schemes, you may be paying almost as much for their print as you would for print and design services from Primoprint.
Design service should be considered just as valuable as the services that you are trying to promote. Every piece that you send out is an extension of your business and what you have to offer. A professional-looking printed material helps your business look its best!
Just because you have access to these online “tools” doesn’t make it easy to use them to their fullest potential. Our designers could probably use a dentist drill, but I don’t think you want any of us fixing your cavity.
We would love the opportunity to create a unique one-of-a-kind custom printed product. No matter your print design needs, we can help. Contact us today for a quote or for more additional information.
At Primoprint, we take pride in our design services. Take a look at our graphic design gallery to view some of our on-of-a-kind designs. For additional design samples, please click the link: https://dribbble.com/primoprint
This fold option is one of the more common and the simplest of the folds. The half fold is also known as bi-fold or single fold. This brochure offers two equal sides, resulting in a four page brochure. The half fold option allows you or a designer to display some creative ideas. This option is great for those who want to display large images or include a group of images on either side without having the fold run through them.
This is a very popular folding option. It is most commonly included in a marketing campaign as it is great for showcasing a business, promoting a brand, and highlighting products and services effectively. The tri-fold brochure offers two folds which forms three double-sided panels, resulting in a six panel brochure. The common size is the 8.5×11” brochure. These brochures are easy to carry and hand out, easily placed into a bag or a pocket, and they take up less counter space.
