Graphics that are crisp, sharp and optimised for printing
Designing graphics for printing is not just about producing some nice looking graphics and a logo and then leaving it at that.
Professional Graphic Design for printing has to take into account font styles, colours, differences in printers, the capabilities of the printing service, the paper the piece is going to be printed on – its finish, quality, texture and size, whether it looks good on card stock, label stock, laser cut decals, matt, satin or gloss packaging, whether spot uv is required, safe print areas, differences between monitor colours and ink, bleeds, the size of the final printed area, the shape of the printed article, where its going to be displayed and where it will be used.
There are so many factors to take into consideration which makes the difference between a design that works or flops.
We have many years of experience in producing quality graphics for printing, from a portfolio to a business card, from custom waterslide decals to flyers and presentations and product packaging.

Leaflets and Flyers are probably the most widely used promotional materials for local businesses other than social media and the Internet. We will work with you to create designs that are unique and eye-catching to promote your business, services and special offers to your chosen customer base.
Traditional printed advertising is still one of the most effective ways of marketing, more so when run in tandem with digital campaigns. Even a small advert in a local magazine or national publication can bring your valuable and target traffic.

One of the most critical requirements for quality printed media is a good printer. Having your designs professionally printed on good quality stock can mean the difference between a customer reading your flyer or throwing it in the bin.

I started my career as an Engineering Apprentice, honing my craft as a Vertical Miller and CNC Machinist/Programmer before progressing into Production and Design Engineering. I also served as a Photographic Interpreter and Intelligence Analyst in the Royal Air Force, before moving into IT and Graphic Design — a natural progression as engineering increasingly became IT-driven. Along the way, I gained extensive experience in Engineering Project Management within manufacturing, where I learned the importance of delivering work on time and within budget. I hold university qualifications in Mechanical Engineering, a BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering, and am also a Six Sigma belt and experienced Project Manager.
Throughout my career, I have worked on and led a variety of large-scale, high-value projects. These include the introduction of Iseki tractors, Jacobsen turf machinery, and E-Z-Go golf carts into the UK, as well as contributing to the design and development of JCB wheel loaders and heavy machinery. While with the RAF, I carried out mission-critical intelligence analysis on a Tornado squadron, and earlier in my career was part of the engineering team responsible for designing the HVAC system for the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. I have also held the role of Communications Director for a charity providing outward bound opportunities for disabled and underprivileged children.
Today, I run AnodisedBlue from a home-based design studio, providing professional web, graphic, and digital marketing services. None of my work is outsourced — everything is handled personally to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability. I take pride in being approachable, responsive, and reliable, with services that are tailored to each client’s needs while remaining cost-effective.
Most of my business comes from referrals, recommendations, and repeat clients, a reflection of the long-term relationships I build and the trust clients place in the quality of the work delivered.
