We are a couple of friendly designers that specialise in graphic communication. We work hard for our clients, creating distinct personalities for their brands, whether through a logo, brochure, packaging or website.
We also value our clients and treat them fairly, that is why they reward us with repeat business.

Mark was a pleasure to work with and made the process of bringing my project to life, super easy. Would definitely recommend.
Paul Gardner
I was initially sceptical around a local firm, having worked in corporate life with multinational agencies but I needn't have worried. Mark's knowledge of what works best, advice, experience guided me through a process that resulted in a logo and two word strapline that the whole team likes and expresses what we do very well, and that was a tough brief for a new concept in a crowded market. Good value for money and just the right light touch communications and feedback wise. Would recommend. More...

Mark at Arra Design has a willingness to take time and understand the needs of his customers. We had many conversations prior to the design stage and this ultimately helped in finding the right logo for our online and retail store.

Highly recommended
Mark is very experienced and professional. He worked with us to produce series of graphics that clearly communicate function aspects of our software.
I fully intend to work with Mark again

Describe your creative process.
Before any project starts we agree costs and a brief with you, so all parties understand the project parameters.
These are some typical stages in a project:
1) Brief - outline of the project expectations, timescales, budget and outcomes
2) Research - background on client, product, service, competition, markets, etc
3) Concepts - visual presentation of ideas for discussion
4) Development - developing an idea further and testing it in implementation
5) Artwork - digital files of agreed idea suitable for production - online, print, construction, etc
6) Production - the actual end product - print, website, exhibition, etc
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
We would need a little background from you on where you are and where you would like to be at the end of the project.
I can send you a Briefing Sheet with a couple of key questions to help start your project.
What do you love most about your job?
I love a challenge - taking often complex ideas and distilling them into simple elegant and memorable solutions.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To cut out the middle man between designer and client. I am the designer and I enjoy speaking directly with the client to understand your needs, so nothing is lost in translation.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are creative and we care passionately about the quality of our work and how that helps our clients.
All our services are carried out transparently and under strict budgetary and time constraints. We will be honest with you when evaluating what we can do and how we can help you. Ours is a pragmatic approach - we are not prima donnas!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, we can provide our services online and remotely. We send ideas and visuals by pdf. We keep clients informed as to progress of their project, keep to deadlines for progress stages and final outcomes. We are happy to have Zoom calls to meet people virtually.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
During this time we will meet clients online only and not expose them to any dangers.
