Graphic Design /
“ Design adds value faster than it adds costs.” — Joel Spolsky
We work on hundreds of projects every year for local and national businesses from new logos to integrated campaigns. We always deliver powerful promotional collateral. From business cards and brochures to websites and exhibitions - it could be a new crest, logo or badge but we’re confident you’ll find our approach refreshing! Give us a call to discuss what you’re thinking and we’ll unleash our creativity. Alternatively we’ll visit you – and bring the biscuits!

Websites and Social Media /
“ Websites promote you 24/7: No employee will do that.” ― Paul Cookson
Here at Colour Cubed we love designing and implementing new sites. We also understand the importance of keeping it up-to-date and compliant with the latest legislation, otherwise it can become a risk to your reputation rather than an asset. Our websites are mobile friendly and have a built-in content management system. You can easily edit text and update images yourself, at no cost, as often as you like. All of our websites are search-engine optimised (SEO) as standard and we can help maintain and improve your ranking. As well as creating your website, we can support you as follows: • Develop a sustainable strategy to keep the website up-to-date and relevant. • Keep up with the ever-changing legislation. Remember, Ofsted’s first port of call is your website and you have to be compliant. Lastly, the Colour Cubed in-house team can plan and create monthly Social Media schedules. If you are lacking expertise in digital marketing, please get in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss the possibilities.

Let us capture the essence of your school, college or university.

Keeping up to date with the latest goings on... Newsletters A regular newsletter can be an effective way to keep students and parents informed and to promote your school or college in a positive way. Whether it’s proclaiming academic or sporting achievements, trumpeting student successes or advertising upcoming events, a newsletter will encourage greater engagement and pride in your school or college. We can use your stories and pictures or we can do the photography and write the copy for you. Whichever way, we’re here to make it easy for you. Stationery, Praise Cards and Certificates It’s important that your stationery makes a great first impression. For many, it will be the very first thing they see of your school, college or university and so it needs to be right. Letterheads, compliment slips and business cards should be design and colour consistent and should reflect the personality of your organisation. Improvement should be rewarded and a Praise Card is a great way to show that a student’s progress hasn’t gone unnoticed. Colour Cubed can design and print these for your school. Perhaps they should be part of your stationery cupboard?

Photography /
“ When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” — Ansel Adams
Professional photography is essential to enhance your school, college or university’s appeal and we understand this very well. Our photographers know how to portray your values, ethos and personality even in the most difficult environments. An investment in high-quality photography will last for years and can be used in your prospectus, website, newsletters and other promotional material. With Colour Cubed you are engaging with a company that understands your distinctive message and delivers it loud and clear.
