Big Mac, Anyone ?
Those of you who were hoping that this post was to announce the addition of burgers and other fast food delicacies to our promotional gift range will be severely disappointed!
Introducing the latest additions to the Redbows family - some shiny, sleek Apple Mac G5s - Intel Dual Core Duo - (don’t you just love the smell of a new computer - perhaps that’s a new idea for those car air freshener fragrances?). With the recent growth in design projects Redbows has been involved in, we felt it was time to join the Mac universe. Although our PCs are more than capable of doing the job, the Macs are an asset to our Design Studio, with the added benefit of improved file compatibility with our clients who send us files created on a Mac. Not only that, but we have now upgraded our facilities to the Adobe Creative Suite CS3, meaning our resources are now better than ever (and, during the much quieter periods, much more advanced doodling).
So, what do these extra additions to the Design Studio mean for our clients? Well, primarily it means that not only do we have one of the best ranges of promotional gifts in the UK, we also have one of the best complete design solutions to go with it…
Many of our clients don’t have their logo in an Illustrator EPS Vector file (I think I’ll save the explanation of why this is necessary for another post…), meaning that we often are required to convert the logo from the dreaded jPeg. With the addition of the extra technology at our disposal, this process is now much quicker, with most logo conversions taking place on the day that an order is placed.
In addition to that, we are now able to offer a more integrated and in-depth design service, from offering detailed advice and suggestions as to how products could be printed to a full graphic design service (logo design, optimised marketing etc). Our new facilities mean that our clients can get all they need for their next promotion in one place - a necessity for those who need to get a job done, and fast.
Whilst we have always offered Visual Samples to our clients, the expansion of the Design Studio means that these can now be offered within the hour, completely free of charge (except the much busier periods, however they can usually be provided within 24 hours). All you need to do to take advantage of this service is provide the name of the product you are looking at purchasing, along with a file containing the logo or artwork in question (preferably an Illustrator EPS Vector file). That’s it! You can email those to design@redbows.co.uk, then one of the team will email you back with your Visual Sample. This is an extremely useful service if you really are stuck and can’t visualise how the product will look. For examples of some recent Virtual Visuals - click here.
So as you can see, we’ve been busy at the Redbows Design Studio! We hope you agree that our creative services have never been better, and we hope that if you contact the Design Studio you enjoy working with us as much as we will enjoy working on your project!
