Welcome to the Paul Scotton Design newsletter

I decided to produce this regular newsletter to help keep in touch with existing clients and to hopefully attract new ones. Some of the articles will include info on many businesses that I have produced design work for, giving them and myself worldwide exposure ...all this for FREE. So if you are an existing client* of mine and would like an editorial in this newsletter please sent me some text about your company, product or service. You may

include a photo and/or logo too. But one thing I do ask is that it must include a testimonial within your article about the service and design work I have given to you. About 200 words (including testimonial) should fit comfortably.

If you are not yet one of my clients* please feel free to contact me for a quote on any design work you may require and once I have completed any work* for you I will allow you to submit an editorial about your company to be included in future newsletters.

This newsletter will be sent out to a huge database plus featured on the following networking sites: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Ecademy, Waynesworld, Issuu, etc.

Worldwide exposure handed to you on a plate ...not bad for FREE

*To have an article published in this newsletter you must spend at least 150â‚Ź on a design job with Paul Scotton Design (printing not included).

I have been in the graphic design industry since 1981 working in London, Los Angeles and Marbella. My career started in the traditional way on a drawing board, using Rotoring Pens, Magic Markers, Pantone Pens and Letraset, working as a Designer / Visualiser / Artworker for the music and video industry, designing record sleeves, video covers, point-of-sale and adverts for the music press.

Getting to know me

During a six-month stay in Los Angeles, I designed t-shirt graphics for many well known clients including the official celebration t-shirts for the LA Dodgers when they won the World Series in 1988.

On returning to the UK, I was recruited as a Package Designer / Product Developer for a large international toy company. The packaging and products I worked on were for licensed merchandise including: Mr Men / Little Miss, Pink Panther, Postman Pat, Animal Hospital, Creature Comforts, Shrek, Looney Tunes, Captain Pugwash, Forever Friends, M&M’s and many more.

In 2003 I moved to southern Europe, as Head of Design for a large well known real estate company in Spain, responsible for all their marketing materials, including brochures, promotions, exhibitions, office signage, website, and a host of other activities.

I am still based in the Marbella area of Spain working as a Freelance Graphic Designer, creating marketing materials for many new and existing companies around the world.

My business has grown rapidly over the last few years and I continue to collaborate with top webmasters, SEO experts, marketing guru’s and copywriters. So whatever your marketing needs, we can help you and your company get noticed.

Creating brand awareness

A selection of logos I have recently designed for my clients

Some questions for you 1. Is your company doing well but feel it could be doing better?

2. How widespread across Europe or even Worldwide is you company known or easily recognised?

3. Do your existing and potential clients know everything your company offers?

4. Does the quality of your logo or company image let you down?

It’s not only your product and excellent service that helps your clients find you …it’s also the image of your company and regular advertising with good quality adverts that create brand awareness and attracts new business. Effective advertising and a professional company image could possibly increase your sales by over double …and it doesn’t need to cost a lot to do it.

If you think your company image could do with a make over, contact Paul Scotton Design to arrange a meeting and have a chat over a coffee to discuss what I can do for you. Online Skype meetings also an option.

Contact me today to discuss your design requirements for flyers, adverts, business cards, logos, invitations, posters, downloadable PDFs, brochures or anything else you need designing to help promote your company.

Please check out my website for a bigger selection of logo designs: www.paulscottondesign.com

What are you waiting for ...take your company to the next level 4

Featured Clients Welcome to The Climax Sports Racer a story of passion and design…

Special Feature

The team at Climax Cars set out to create an exclusive, highly desirable, light weight British performance car utilising environmentally friendly technologies and exuding a dramatic wow factor, the Climax Sports Racer was the culmination of this determination.

The Climax Sports Racer has been designed with road and track ability in mind and fundamental to this is an excellent power to weight ratio which offers a fantastic track day racer, which impressively competes with cars much more expensive, and those which are outright track cars, sometimes at the detriment of road use. The Climax Sports Racer reflects a more balanced approach towards the aesthetic glamour associated with ownership as well as a dramatic performance package, this enhances both the driving and ownership experience.

The power plant we are using is a 4.6 litre V8 which will provide either 345 in normally aspirated or 450 BHP with the supercharged option. Our performance will offer a sub 3.7 seconds 0-60 and a maximum speed of 170mph + dependent on engine choice. This is possible as the cars kerb weight will be in the order of 907 kg allowing the excellent power to weight ratio, which also assists fuel consumption levels at 25 mpg plus. This car will fly, and not only that, the chassis will be class leading in terms of handling and dynamics, worked on by Lotus.

The company plan to produce just over 200 of the Sports Racer making it very exclusive and collectable, however, as the Sports Racer platform is designed to accommodate future models, a GTS version, which will include a roof and a more touring style interior, will be launched during the Sports Racer production run. The GTS will likely become our flagship product and be produced in larger numbers this will culminate in the creation of a Halo product to showcase the ultimate ability of the company in design and engineering skills and this will develop the steps to a GT homologated race car, with the goal to race the 24 hours Le Mans.

Funding this project is a combination of private investment and grants and our prospectus would be suitable for high net worth investors and can be applied for by emailing ian@climaxcars.com Ian Howe - Director Climax Cars & Boutique Cars

Paul Scotton Design has provided invaluable branding and marketing advice for the Climax Car project. This has been massively important for us as we are currently seeking funding to put the car into production, and clear branding and brand message is essential for potential investment.

www.climaxcars.com

It was easy for us to chose Paul for this key aspect of the business due to the fantastic work he carried out a few years ago for another of our projects Boutique Cars, designing all branding and web presence. Again this allowed excellent initial and ongoing exposure into our exclusive market.

www.boutique-cars.com

A fundamental aspect to working with Paul has been an ongoing progressive program which continues to evolve and his conscientious work ethic towards his clients.
