I don’t have any of this software what should I do?

Our studio offers a full creation service. Just provide us with a written brief or sketch containing what text you would like have presented, your web address, a copy of your company logo/s and any photographs you would like us to incorporate into your design. We will then provide an Artwork quotation based on the project

QuarkXpress (version 6)

Set up your artwork at an appropriate scale with bleed and feed where necessary. Quark v6 cannot create a page larger than 120cm so we recommend you artwork at quarter scale. Quark v7/8 users should supply print ready pdf’s..

Adobe InDesign CS4

Set up your artwork at an appropriate scale with bleed and feed where necessary.
If you would rather not supply copies of your fonts or have used a wide variety consider converting all text to outlines/paths.

Adobe Illustrator CS4


Set up your artwork at an appropriate scale with bleed and feed where necessary. Do not manually draw crop marks.
If you would rather not supply copies of your fonts or have used a wide variety consider converting all text to outlines/paths.
