Expert design and graphics for education, training and careers.
Graphic design for education, training and careers
We design the things learners, parents and employers actually pick up, scroll past or pin to the wall. Prospectuses and course guides, revision and learning resources, infographics, reports, social graphics and event materials, all for colleges, training providers and careers organisations.
Good design in education does a specific job. It takes something dense, like a qualification framework, a funding scheme or an exam syllabus, and makes it feel manageable. When someone’s making a big decision about their future, a clear page can be the difference between “I’ll look at this later” and “I can do this”.
The best design in education makes the next step look possible.
Design for every stage of the learner journey
From the first leaflet someone picks up at an open day to the workbook they revise from, every piece starts with who’s reading it and what they need to do next.
Prospectuses and course guides
The piece that often makes the first impression. We design prospectuses, course leaflets and programme guides that are easy to scan, honest about what’s involved, and built around the questions people really ask.
Learning and revision resources
Workbooks, study guides and exam preparation. We break complex material into clear, manageable sections, so learners can see where they are and what’s next.
Infographics and data visualisation
Labour market figures, outcomes data, progression routes. Numbers are often the strongest part of the story and the hardest to read, so we turn them into graphics people understand at a glance.
Social media graphics and templates
Consistent, on-brand graphics for LinkedIn, Instagram and the rest. One-off campaign assets, or a set of templates your team can update themselves, so everything you post looks like it belongs together.
Social media for educationBrand identity, reports and print
Brand identities and guidelines, annual and impact reports, event programmes, pull-up banners and signage for open days, launches and conferences. We handle the design and can manage the print too.
Recent design work
A few examples of design that helped people understand something and act on it.
Campaign and print
ProActive Training
Posters, flyers and course materials promoting four professional courses to physiotherapy students, placed across colleges and universities to build awareness on campus.
Brand identity and print
Living Sport: Active New Communities
A bright, adaptable identity with brand guidelines, leaflets and a family cycling activity pack for Northstowe, full of maps, safety tips and challenges.
Design that works alongside your video and marketing
Because we make films and run campaigns too, our design work is part of the bigger picture. The graphics in your animation match the ones on your prospectus, the social templates match the campaign, and the infographic in your report becomes a 20-second clip for LinkedIn.
You get one team keeping it all consistent, rather than three suppliers trying to match each other’s work.
How a design project comes together
Five stages, with you involved at every one, so there are no surprises at the end.
-
Step 1
A conversation first
We start with who it’s for and what they need to do after reading it. A 30-minute call is usually enough.
-
Step 2
Content and structure
We work out what goes where before anything gets designed. With learning resources especially, the structure is half the job.
-
Step 3
Design
First designs, working from your brand guidelines, or building a look from scratch if you need one.
-
Step 4
Feedback and refinement
Rounds of changes before sign-off, with clear proofs so everyone knows what they’re approving.
-
Step 5
Print or publish
Print-ready files, accessible digital versions, web graphics and social assets. We can manage the print run too.
Getting it seen
Questions we get asked
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Yes. Most of our education clients have guidelines already, and we work within them. If yours are out of date or don’t cover what you need, we can help fill the gaps.
Do you design accessible documents?
Yes. Public sector bodies need accessible digital documents, and it’s good practice for everyone, so we pay attention to contrast, reading order and alt text, and can supply accessible PDF versions.
Can you handle the printing?
Yes. We can manage the print run for you, or supply print-ready files if you have your own printer.
How much does design cost?
It depends on the size of the job. A set of social templates and a 60-page prospectus are very different projects. Once we know what you need, we’ll send a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before we start.
Can we update the templates ourselves?
Yes. We can build social and document templates in Canva or your own software, so your team can keep things fresh without coming back to us for every post.
Got a brief, half a brief, or just a problem you can’t quite pin down?
Talk to us, we’ve probably seen something like it before.
