Sometimes, a good website just means ensuring it reflects the brand and building it with current web technologies. Simple designs and clearly laid out pages can be all it takes to make a positive impression on visitors.

And that’s what we’ve done with the website for C3 Print – working with them, we’ve built a new site to present their messages and images across in a clear, uncluttered way.

“It’s just what we were looking for, a well-designed site that reflects our brand. We think Beaver has done a fantastic job, the site looks great and gives us a presence on the web” – Neil Cook, Marketing Director, C3 Print

Meet Dave (our Dave…not the film). Dave is our resident print expert and last week created a few of new leaflets, posters and banners for local company Natural Health and their new venture – Healing Bamboo.

Dave has nearly 40 years in graphic design, print and artwork creation, and is one of the co-founders of Beaver Design in 1978. Some of our more junior staff (like those with a ‘measly’ 10 or 20 years of experience) are able to learn some old tricks of the trade from Dave, who remembers back to when graphic design was all done by hand and artwork was sent on the train.

The new promotional materials for Natural Health are to launch the UK distribution of the Healing Bamboo products, as Natural Health becomes the sole UK supplier.

For more information about Healing Bamboo, please go to www.healingbamboo.com, or if you’d like to talk to Dave about print, then just give us a call us on 0845 355 2555.

A couple of our designers recently got their hands on a few sets of intricately hand-carved wooden type for letterpressing, which are currently laid out in our studio. These days, this kind of printing is mostly just a hobby - but it wasn't too long ago that this was how all typesetting was done.
