Truly Independent



Independent Financial Advisers based in Dumfries, Scotland appraoched PS Design Group on recommendation from another of our clients. We helped Truly Independent launch with a new identity and business literature. After initial consultations we also helped them with their copywriting and online presence. Identity Guidelines and future marketing material are in the pipeline for 2010.


Cumbria Renewable Energy business new website.


Cumbria based renewable energy company Encompas Ltd asked PS Design Group to be involved with the re-design of the website. After intensive market insight from 'Reach Marketing' into what their self build and commercial customers were wanting from renewable energy systems, we were able to design a comprehensive yet user freindly and customer focused site that impresses and informs on many levels to keep Encompas Ltd at the forefront of their market. Our design team worked closely with Kudos who developed and host the new site. We are currently helping Encompas develop their brand offline through exhibition stands, literature and PR.

Hand on Heart Jewellery


This wonderful local Cumbrian businsess came to PS Design Group and asked us to create a simple A5 showcard for an up and coming event at Carlisle Racecourse in February 2010. After speaking with the girl owners, they realised they also needed a pull up banner to accompany them at the show. Although they create lovely jewellery of your loved ones hand and foot prints they didn't have any product photography, so we helped them with that to, cool huh! All the images were created by our in-house photographer. Hand on Heart is a great business with a fab product, in fact the cufflinks shown on the finished showcard actually belong to the Creative Director Paul Smith. He had them made of his son and stepdaugther's hand prints.

TOPBOD - Carlisle Beauty Salon new website.

After creating the new company logo last year for this small salon based in Wetheral, it was finally time to update their website with the brand style. A simple web template was just the right solution as there was very little budget and no room for error during development. The site was designed, built and live within 2 weeks from receiving the initial brief. The client was extremely happy and all things went to plan and hassle free. Contact us if you require a simple, yet effective, well designed webiste on a small budget. We can get your business online and working for you in no time at all.

York Place Dental




Smile...the new York Place Dental business cards and greetings cards have just arrived from printers. Nice stock and great photography from Steve Meyfroidt.
We went for folded business cards with a cropped image of the actual dentist and some introductory text on the inside. Clean design with a polished print finish :) We really like this.

Off The Wall Promotions


Some times a client comes along with so much enthusiasm, it's inspiring. Off The Wall is that client. They design and manage anything that will make your event memorable. Here at PS Design Group, we were asked to create a new brand identity that could be flexible, quirky, memorable and fun. We started with getting under the skin of what OTW were about and giving them some brand guidelines along with new identity, stationery and website. Direct Mail, Vehicle Livery and Corporate Literature will also be rolling out over 2010. So for all kinds of cool games and event ideas for your business or pleasure contact David Gardiner at 'off the wall'. Ps... Thanks to Darren at Kierweb for the help in the construction of the website.

Beautiful Portrait Photography


Some gorgeous portrait photography from Steve Meyfroidt (pronounced Mayfruer). He came and took some stunning shots of my new born baby (and my double chin, time to get back to the gym me thinks). We had a great afternoon and I can't wait to see the rest of the shots. Please take a look at his work, I know I am slightly biased, but once you see his portfolio and meet this charming gent, then I'm sure you will be to. He also has some stunning wedding photography and an accomplished
commercial portfolio to boot. Thanks so much Steve, the shots look amazing...as always. P

New Logo for Astro Soccer Six league


Cumbria soccer 6 a-side league 'Astro Soccer Sixes' approached us to refresh their logo of over 12 years. Having played in the soccer league ourselves, we jumped at the chance to work with a project that we are passionate about and a sport that we love to play and watch. We opted for a logo that summed up the excitement of the leagues using colours to represent Cumbria rather than the usual reds and blues of footballing teams. We introduced 6 moving stars to represent each player on the team and a softer more modern font. The identity will be rolled out onto all marterial online and in print in the coming months. A Facebook page will be launched in the coming days so will keep you posted, and if you would like to take part or get a team together, then contact Billy Rafferty on 01228 593030.... Football logos are not a matter of life and death ... they're more important than that.

The Tradition Partnership


We were asked to put a visual style to a company that was focusing on bringing about a return to traditional pension values. Providing bespoke pension solutions for each individual company scheme. Initially we implemented stationery and a corporate document that could be used as a tool to inform clients about the range of services available and a background to the company. Photography was used to reflect the core businesses that The Tradition Partnership serves, from all industries at all levels. Website and Exhibiton stands will roll out over the coming weeks...trust us.
