Hi Denis, my name's Brett and I run an independent design studio that can do this type of thing. We'd be interested in this if you're yet to find someone. I run a full service agency with a specialism in branding and 3D so we could produce the designs for you and then fully visualise them within...

@scotty Cheers for the help. I more or less want to attract big players and/or startups with funding behind them that want better design for interesting projects, not just annual reports. We've already done a lot of fun work already although it's been for other agencies as outsourced work. We're...

@scotty Sorry I should have added that I don't currently have the kind of work I want to branch out into in my portfolio as I've not done any plus it's not the type you can do self initiated really either (not without it looking that way). This is my portfolio

So, almost 8 years after posting this I'm now married with a little girl and have moved house twice but I'm back using the forum and just spotted this post. I thought everyone would be pleased to know that I took all of your advice on board and now run a 3D, motion and design agency of 5 people...

Hi, One of my longstanding clients is a very large agency who have just won a contract to serve a medical business and I have been handle the design side the job while the agency focus on the PR. I need help with quoting from those of you who have more experience in this area as I have never...

Hi all, This seems to be a popular topic with everyone and thanks to all those who have offered advice, I've taken it all onboard and it has been helpful. Another question here, and one that I think we all experience. We're currently designing a logo for a client and did an interview to...

Thank you all for your responses so far, this is obviously a popular issue amongst us designers. To answer some of the questions asked: We currently work with the client from the start and throughout the project very closely, our concepts and ideas for materials and design approaches are...

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone can offer any valuable advice in relation to running a design studio? It's a bit of a long one but if you could spare 5 minutes it would be a great help. Myself and my business partner setup a small graphic design studio a couple of months ago and are...
