It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

Everyone is a designer. We make design decisions from the moment we wake up. The colour of your socks today? That was a design decision.

Design is even more important in our professional lives. Often a customer’s first point of contact is through an advert, a poster, a report, or a website.

That’s why it’s crucial that every piece of design work that promotes your organisation or ideas, makes maximum impact in seconds flat.

That’s where we can help. With a combined design experience spanning 25 years, the LGF Design Team can offer a creative design solution, delivered professionally, and at highly competitive rates.

What can we design for you? All this and more...

• • •

Reports Bring life to your annual reports and documents.

Leaflets, Booklets and Postcards Any size, any shape - instant impact to promote your work.

Adverts Help get your message across to your target audiences.

• • •

Logos/Corporate ID The most important design work you’ll do.

Newsletters Let the personality of your organisation show.

And more... If it needs designing, we can help. Give us a call and we’ll help you reach a solution.

Choosing LGF Design isn’t just a great design decision, it’s also an ethical one. The income we raise through our design service is invested back into the LGF’s charitable work. For more information, visit our webpages at: www.lgf.org.uk/design. What’s more, our friendly and open approach means that you won’t be blinded with jargon - just effective, eye-catching design.

Good design begins with honesty, asks tough questions, comes from collaboration and from trusting your intuition.

Your finished design will be the result of collaboration and listening closely to what you’d like to achieve.

We’ll be available to take your calls, or e-mails and to put your mind at ease.

Our philosophy is: you know best. Although we offer years of experience through design and production work for the Lesbian and Gay Foundation, we’d never assume to know best when it comes to you or your organisation.

But we need it yesterday!

Sometimes time is of the essence. We understand that design work is often needed very quickly. Don’t let time be a barrier to effective design - just let us know your deadlines, and we’ll be honest with you.

You might be surprised...

In other words...

“The design team did a great job on our annual report and business plan documents. They were professional, creative, and fast! They interpreted our ideas well, and gave us a number of options to think about. In addition to their design skills, the team were open to discussion and implemented suggested changes easily and with flair. The communication was excellent, and everyone loves the finished products. We’ll certainly be using the service again in the future.”

MICHELLE REID Chief Executive, George House Trust

“An excellent example of brand consistency, use of white space on printed material, using language effectively, clarity, brevity and more. The (LGF) brand development is really a model of best practice... they do a superb job.”

ILENE HOYLE Institute of Fundraising

“The ‘Fear of Colour’ article looks fantastic; the layout and graphics are stunning. You guys clearly put a lot of thought into it. Danny and I are chuffed almost beyond words. I just wanted to take the opportunity to say on behalf of the both of us: thank you so much for giving us a voice. I hope the article gets people talking...”
