Welcome

As Cream Graphics, I specialise in developing the visual brand equity of small to medium-sized businesses, bringing an individual creative approach to all forms of graphic & web design. My clients often have expertise in niche markets. For start-ups my role is to help them establish a distinct brand persona within their chosen sphere…and then to help them build and control it. And sometimes established businesses just need a new spark to help them achieve new goals.

These businesses are as individual as the founders or teams behind them. There is no fitting them into a template…each requires a bespoke strategy, and the more organically that can grow over time, the better. So I tend to start by listening and proposing a loose framework for initial endeavours. If you find we are a good fit, this will naturally lead to a valuable business relationship for both of us. If not, then, well, not. But it will be interesting in either case.

testimonials

  • I sought Dann at Cream Graphic's advice when I wanted to create a logo for an additional branch to my existing business, and was rather nervous of doing so but right from the start I realised I was in safe hands. Dann made the process easy and the finished product was outstanding and is commented on without fail almost every day at how beautiful it is. Subsequently I asked Dann to rebrand my existing business and create me a new website which he has done, demonstrating his flair for creativity whilst understanding exactly my unique needs as a customer. No question has been too small or insignificant, always answered with straight forward, easy to implement advice even for a technophobe like myself. Cream Graphics provides an exemplary service that is second to none with a personal touch. Amazing!"
  • I have used Dann for artwork on my advertising, website and logo design. His artwork is amazing I would highly recommend him.
  • Cream Graphics have been a great addition to the team. We are not a huge business but strive to place ourselves and produce products of exceptional quality and needed branding to reflect that. Dann has been fantastic with his suggestions of how to take things forward and thinking ’outside’ the box, and has produced work of exceptional quality. Cream Graphics has helped get a consistent feeling for the brand and for me has been worth every penny, I highly recommend their services.
  • When I was looking for a revamp on my Hughes Models website I knew I needed a sharp, edgy approach to stay one step ahead of the ever growing curvy modelling market. Cream Graphics was recommended to me and Dann never once let me down. In actual fact when I was approached to sell the business a couple of years ago, the website not only created the interest but also, I believe, brought me the asking price. Cream Graphics is now looking after the website for our Villa in the South of France and I am thrilled the way it is developing.
  • People are our Business... ’When we were creating our new range of relaxation and hypnosis CDs we wanted to artwork to stand out, and represent us as a company (rather than pictures of sea and trees so common in these kinds of recordings). Within days Dann had some ingenious ideas with us and the results were fantastic, the artwork has got as much brilliant feedback as the recordings themselves Thanks Dann.
