our approach

Design for the real world

What kind of designers are we? Sensitive, creative, expert, attentive and absolutely professional, say clients.

When you work with Calverts, you're not buying a Calverts house style. You're tapping into a flexible resource of experience, creativity and project management know how which will deliver your visuals, campaigns, publications, websites and marketing collateral on time, on budget and on brand.

Designing for the real world means developing solutions that are not just beautiful and engaging, but also mindful of resources and people. We work with our clients to deliver printed and electronic communications that are financially and environmentaly sustainable. To us, this means no wasted words, no wasted materials and no wasted effort; or, as someone once said, designing on the principle that 'less is more'.

Little Press

Little letterpress machine

Take some cast metal type, add parts of a radio cassette player, a wooden block, some assorted rods, a little copper, and a large helping of creative nous to get this fantastic little letterpress machine. Click here to see a short video on the project or here for more detail.

Email newsletters

Easy email newsletters

green group screen

Keeping in touch with members or customers by email is important.

If you use an email application, such as Outlook, maybe you send out news by blind carbon copying in (BCC) in multiple email addresses to recipients?

How effective is this?
 

Do you know when an email has been filtered into a recipient's junk folder by over-zealous spam filters?

Do you want a simple system to email beautifully designed graphic-rich email newsletters?
 

Do you want useful reports on recipient activity once they have received your email newsletter?

We have a solution to make the process of sending email newsletters and email marketing campaigns simple:
 

  • We create an email template to your own design
  • We code the template into our easy to use HTML newsletter system
  • We upload your client database of email addresses
  • You write your newsletter items and send out as often as you wish - you only pay for the emails you send
  • We manage automatic subscription and unsubscribes, sending you detailed reports on who opened your email newsletter, and where they clicked.
