hello...
...and welcome to the first edition of inspire from Creative Input. Creative Input have been successfully producing solutions in graphic design for many organisations for over 25 years now, and we thought it was about time that we shared some of our success stories with you. These successes are a result of our commitment to understand our clients and how their business operates, their targets and aspirations, before we begin to produce thought provoking, innovative and hardworking design solutions that look the business, and work hard for them. Whether it’s a corporate identity rebrand, company profile brochure, complex catalogue or updateable web presence, we apply this creative strategy to every single job we do.
radio blah blah... leaders in the field... a really steely plan...
If you’re new to us or a current client, we hope you enjoy reading what great design can do for your business and we will aim to keep you regularly inspired.
Creative Input worked for Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to try to stop the anti-social use of graffiti in the area. The idea behind the campaign was to target secondary school children in Solihull by the use of posters around the schools, also with a leaflet that is distributed to every single child in the Borough. A fresh, young ‘grafitti style’ identity was designed, along with A2 and A4 ‘edgy’ posters for around the schools and a DL leaflet that offers a cash incentive to children in confidentiality. The message was also used on the side of Hackney Cab taxis and inside the vehicles to heighten awareness.
engineering an impact...
“
This was the first time we've used an external design outfit, and we were impressed with the service, the price, and the end result. The campaign has exceeded our expectations, and it continues to bring in results.
When a successful engineering business wanted to create more impact they naturally turned to Creative Input. Using highly creative photography, we transformed the company’s tired old image and rolled it out into corporate brochures and an updateable website that can open up new doors.
“
We now have a marketing suite and web presence to be proud of...thank you.

A well established law firm’s move was augmented with a new identity, brochures, and signs. The move, and the higher profile that Creative Input’s work has helped develop, has resulted in the firm gaining new clients in the area, whilst building on the solid foundations of the business.
Our image needed a major makeover which coincided with an office move. Creative Input built on our past but brought a freshness and coherence which has been really well received

Interplex Solar have developed an exciting new range of solar products, helped in every step by Creative Input. From developing the new identity with the tagline of ‘solar solutions for a changing world’ to brochures, leaflets, and packaging for Interplex’s innovative ‘Solar-2-Go’ off-the shelf solar panel charging kits, to exhibition materials that helped Interplex win the ‘best new product award’ at the Totally DIY show. We have also helped the company with packaging and support materials for the ‘Nite Eyes’ Predator Protection System, which gained national coverage after fox attacks in the UK.

Solihull Life Opportunities (SOLO) work with adults who have learning disabilities in the area, and are committed to giving people real choices that people without disabilities get every single day. One of their projects involved holding regular disco event nights, and after Creative Input helped with a leaflet and poster campaign, the nights became a tremendous success. The posters and leaflets had a real ‘disco night’ theme, with funky illustration and mirrorball, giving it an eye-catching visual message. SOLO have now developed the nights as a regular event.
“
Working with Creative Input has been a pleasure, being a charity it is important that any publicity we use is eye catching relevant and most important captures our vision. This works on every level, and nothing has been too much trouble.
