Our front door

Freezing Britain - but the show must go on!

The Old Stables in the snow and iceTwo days into the new year and the beautiful, but disruptive, weather brought the whole country to a standstill. The beautiful scene on the left of our graphic design studio in mid-Hampshire was taken a day or so later in the near-virgin snow - sadly it is back to cold, sleety rain now!

But whatever the weather the graphic design show goes on and even though some of us have had trouble getting into the office over the past couple of weeks, we are open for business. If you have had problems contacting us, our apologies - if you need to get hold of any of us urgently, the easiest way is by email to david@cradduck.com or ian@cradduck.com. Both David and Ian can pick up emails from home or on the move.

May we all at Cradduck Design Company wish our clients, suppliers and friends a very happy and profitable 2010. We are very much open for business, and look forward to hearing from you!

Whether you are looking for a brochure, a logo, a gross of embroidered shirts, a website or an email campaign, give us a call on +44 (0) 1962 734606 or contact us online.

 

What can we do for you?

Cradduck Design Company, a creative team of graphic designers based near Winchester in Hampshire has over 30 years' experience of creating and producing cost effective and viable graphic design solutions for a range of clients throughout the UK and overseas, from start-ups and SMEs to global companies. See the list of clients we have worked for.

Our philosophy

Simple - we want our clients to prosper and succeed and we want our designs to contribute to that success. We build long term relationships with our clients to achieve that, through mutual trust, understanding and common goals.

So what makes a good design?

Graphic design, whether it is a simple logo design or elaborate brochure, must work to succeed; if should look professional and attractive too, of course, but the first function of graphic design is to communicate a clear and impelling message to the recipients: ‘Buy Me!'

New to commissioning graphic design?

Don't worry, we can guide you - in good old plain English - through the pitfalls of getting the right message across, whether printed or virtual. See how we do it to get an understanding of the processes involved. more>

Life at the extreme - and Spain!

As the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-9 drew to an exciting close in St Petersburg earlier this year Cradducks were finalising the wrap-up issue of Life at The Extreme, the gorgeous, glossy race magazine which says as much about the way we like to design and produce our magazines as it does about the most exciting professional yacht race ever. But the race didn't stop there.

Croissants@Cradducks (C@C7)

Our October C@C reverted to the normal breakfast timing of 7.15-9.00am Tuesday 13th October. We were really pleased that Knut Frostad, CEO and past skipper of the Volvo Ocean Race was there to give us a truly interesting insight into the Volvo Ocan Race and how technology is shaping the race as much as the sailors themselves.

30 guests from various industries were there, including many from the yacht racing world themselves. Thanks, Knut, for a great presentation.
