Design services

Enhance your university print with design services. Our in-house design team supports every stage of the design process, whether you have a full brief or are starting from scratch. This is a staff only service.

Design for print

The team uses their wide-ranging experience to produce engaging, visually impactful materials. They can deliver innovative, guideline‑compliant designs for anything from full campaign collateral to single‑page flyers. Various finishing options—such as wire binding, saddle‑stitching and hard binding—are available through the University Online Shop. Timescales for print work are confirmed when you book your job.

Brand design and visual identity

The team manage and develop the University’s visual identity while also helping external organisations define and communicate their brands. They work closely with you to understand your brand and audience, then translate this into strong visual design. They advise on cost‑effective design, print processes and formats suited to your audience and budget.

Display graphics

They design display graphics for exhibition stands, pull‑up banners, posters and a range of promotional uses. They can follow your existing style for consistency or create a completely new visual concept for events.

University signage

The team design clear, accessible, identity‑aligned signage in collaboration with Facilities Management, whether for single doors or whole buildings. They also create large‑scale event banner designs, and can advise on University policy for using them on campus.
