What We Design

Everything your brand needs, from one team that already knows it.

Brand, print and digital under one roof, so a logo, the stationery it sits on, the profile it goes into and the website it ends up on are all drawn by people who have seen the others.

South African marketing teams tend to settle on one of three answers when they need to produce their own graphics. Adobe’s applications remain the professional standard: Illustrator for logos and anything that must scale, Photoshop for photographs, InDesign for brochures and multi-page documents. They are powerful, and their rand-denominated subscriptions are a real monthly cost for a small company.

Canva has become the everyday tool for teams that need social media posts, internal notices and simple presentations without a designer. It is quick and inexpensive, and its weakness is the same as its strength: templates make everything easy and everything similar. Affinity’s suite sits between the two, a one-off purchase with most of Adobe’s capability and a smaller learning curve than its reputation suggests.

The right choice depends less on features than on who will use it and for what. A team producing a few social posts a week is well served by Canva with a proper brand kit loaded. A company producing tenders, brochures, packaging or anything a printer will handle needs files that the Adobe or Affinity tools produce correctly: vector logos, CMYK colour, bleed and crop marks. Many businesses sensibly run both.

Software does not supply judgement. Layout, typography, hierarchy and restraint are learned skills, and the gap between a template and a designed piece is visible to customers even when they cannot say why. The most useful thing a studio can do for a company that uses its own tools is set them up properly: a brand kit in Canva, locked templates in PowerPoint and Word, a logo pack in every format, and a short set of rules.

That is a service we provide to companies across South Africa, along with the design work that is better briefed out than done in-house. If you are deciding what to buy, or have bought it and the results are not what you hoped, tell us what your team produces most and we will suggest a sensible split.

Most requests come back to you inside 24–48 hours, and everything we produce is checked against your brand guidelines before it leaves the studio. See the full graphic design service or request a quote.
