Big Purple Box - Creative Design

Leaflet and flyer design can be a minefield for beginners. There’s so many easy mistakes to make that can have a serious impact on the quality of your final prints. Designing for print and specifically leaflet and flyer design, is where I started and over the years have gained a deep level of understanding and experience. Even though many new businesses think of their website as a ‘must have’, it’s a mistake to ignore the benefits a well designed piece of print design can bring to your business, whether it’s a corporate brochure, leaflet or flyer. Big Purple Box has the experience, artistic flair, technical skills, specialist knowledge and reliable supply network to make best use of your marketing or publicity budget. We’ll work closely with you, from initial brief to delivery of the final product, to develop the most efficient and cost-effective solution to meet your promotional marketing needs. We’ve completed a number of leaflet and flyer design print projects here at Big P...

Every business owner with a website is looking for ways to get noticed in the search results.

One of these pieces of the local SEO puzzle is Google My Business, a dashboard for managing listings. But what is it exactly and why is it so important for local SEO? What is Google My Business? My Business is Google’s one-stop shop to manage how your business will look and perform in the search engine. It is an essential tool to find out and adjust how your site shows in Maps, the Knowledge Graph, Google+ and organic search results.

Earlier in the summer of 2016 (blink and you missed it!) a project I'm part of won the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. A big congratulations to all the volunteers who have made the Northumbria World War One Project such a successful enterprise. I'm looking forward to the official presentation of the award this October. The site documents the casualties suffered by the region during the course of World War One. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I believe the total number of researched casualties is close to 2000. These are all personal stories and tragedies. In other news, there's been a whole host of websites launched, business identities designed and marketing leaflets printed. Here's some of our recent printed work. Visit Big Purple Box for more examples in our portfolio or get in touch and let us discuss how we can help bring your next website, logo, advert or leaflet project to a successful conclusion.

Completed a couple of old style print projects recently and it made a nice change having complete control over the look and feel of a design rather than the more flexible approach needed when designing for the internet.
