Developing a brand identity.

The general consensus is there's two ways to approach a brand identity or logo design and its application in an organisation's visual communications. One is the organic approach, where ideas manifest themselves via various stimuli. The other is a structured approach. A good designer has an innate sense of what will and won't work. However, the client has to be assured of this and to achieve this we use the structured approach. While happy accidents are welcome during the design process, adopting structure with its checks and tasks always results in an outcome the client understands and reinforces belief in the new identity.

Make meaningful connections online and in print.

Typography that fits the message, subliminal triggers, calls-to-action, quality photography and sound colour theorem in print, digital and website production. There's more to a visual communication than just an appealing interface. Content and meaning are just as important. Everything we do has a strategic purpose. We attach great importance on developing visual communication that is driven by the strategic objectives of our clients, not by stylistic trends.

We are big on ideas and bring an inspired approach to all projects we work on.

Why would I need an online publication if I have a website?

You can't rely on printed publications to reach the viewing potential of online. But you can take that print publication and bring it to life as a digital version with interactivity such as video, slide shows, bookmarking and built-in search. Catalogues, lookbooks, prospectuses, brochures, sales enablement tools, corporate communications and e-books on any subject. They can be downloaded for offline reading, embedded in a website or function as a stand-alone URL with a distinct web address - and you'll achieve greater readership at a fraction of the cost of print.

The online catalogue v. the print catalogue.

With both in-house design and a photographic studio, we produce both print and online catalogues. Traditionally, e-tailers have opted for the website e-commerce solution. However, there's many advantages in going for an online catalogue service. All features as per the ONLINE PUBLISHING page on this website apply plus the option of designing an online version that can be reconfigured with minimal design change for offset or digital printing.

Photography and Video.

BIGFISHvcSTUDIO is a photography, video and digital imaging studio, adjoining our design location in Belrose. The collective experience and expertise of our photographers is evident by the images featured on this website. Our work across all photography genres enables us to create images to fulfill any brief. In this regard, we provide a "one stop shop" for design, photography, digital imaging and video services.
