A Lesson In Graphic Design, Norfolk Is Leading The Way
By: William Penworthy

For a different kind of graphic design, Norfolk is a good place to see the work produced by a local graphic design company which does things a little differently. Much of the problem in the field of graphic design is because too many people think it's too easy to get started within the graphic design business, and that all it takes is a computer, some software and a flashy website to entice customers to part with their money.

In part perhaps the software firms are to blame since the software packages being advertised do make it look as though all it takes are a few mouse clicks and a revolutionary and quite incredible work of art will be produced. The truth is that generally the tools and facilities within these software packages will only produce a limited number of solutions and effects, all of which are easily recognisable and rarely used by professionals.

In many cases the images used to advertise the product have been created by professional artists with many years of experience - and not always using the software itself believe it or not! But by advertising software this way it has encouraged more and more people to declare themselves graphic design experts, plying their trade through a flashy website.

But even a flashy, smart looking website doesn't tell the whole story because for a few dollars it is perfectly possible to buy a professionally designed website template. Just replace the standard text with your own, change the business name and contact details, and you can be up in business the same evening.

These are just some of the problems that have been facing the world of graphic design, Norfolk not being the only place to have suffered in the past. Fortunately a new graphic design company has been working hard to achieve real success for its clients through the use of clever graphic design, brand awareness and corporate communications. Graphic design is not just about showing off a few clever techniques. It isn't even about the software or the computers, and it certainly isn't about the website of the graphic design company.

Instead, the world of graphic design should be about helping real businesses achieve real success through graphic design, logo design, corporate image, brand awareness and communications. These are the guts of any business, and will collectively make or break a business.

Graphic designers have a hugely important role to play, and could easily help to improve the fortunes of a company, or bring it to its knees. The best that can be hoped for in the case of those businesses who unfortunately employ a graphic designer who has no previous professional experience and bought the entire company from PC World and Ebay is that no harm will be done to the business.

But this will be an expensive lesson for the business owners to learn, because often graphic designers can charge quite high fees. For those graphic design businesses who deliver what they say they will there is little better than loyalty and word of mouth, with many clients throughout the Norfolk and Norwich regions mentioning the one company that has helped more businesses and organisations succeed in the competitive world of graphic design and corporate communications in the region than any other.

Ultimately, what is the most important aspect of the graphic design business? Perhaps it is the designer himself, with his years of experience, artistic ability and way of perceiving both the business' needs and the consumer's point of view. Perhaps it is the business itself, since a graphic design company should seek to support and serve the business rather than the other way round.

This might seem a little obvious but you would be surprised at just how many graphic designers persuade a company that a particular style, method or approach is perfect, only because it will suit their talents, their experience or fill a gap in their portfolio.

For graphic design, Norfolk is the ideal place to see how the business should work. Talking to the business first, before a computer is even switched on or a pencil raised. It is the business which should come first, and this can only be achieved by spending time listening to those in the business discuss their aims, their objectives and their values. Through discussion come collaboration, ideas and the building blocks with which an experienced and expert graphic designer can build a solution which puts the business first.
