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'.

Publications design

Client: Enterprise Plants
Project: Brochure

- Calverts designed and developed both print and online campaign messages for this horticultural business, marketing their products to businesses and offices across London.

The key messages were around sustainability, friendliness and a knowledgeable, committed staff team (‘Making Work Better …Naturally’). A series of 10 staff testimonials (’10 Good Reasons for Working with Enterprise Plants’) were delivered through engaging copy, carefully directed photography and contemporary design.
