Graphic design services for Australian businesses.
Send a brief and I’ll quote on your actual scope.
If you go ahead, I design every piece myself and hand over print-ready files.
Graphic design services are the design of a business’s everyday material, made to its brand.
I design business cards and stationery, brochures and flyers, signage and vehicle artwork, packaging and labels, social and email templates, and decks and reports.
Each job is quoted per piece, per package or monthly, based on what you need.

If the brand itself isn’t settled yet, brand design services come first.
Business card and stationery design.
Business card design starts from the Australian size, 90 x 55 mm.
That’s a different shape from the European card (85 x 55 mm) and the North American one (88.9 x 50.8 mm), so I build to the Australian size and your printer’s template.
Stock and finish are agreed before the layout starts: cards are commonly printed on 300 to 400 gsm stock, and foil or spot gloss sits on its own artwork layer.
Letterhead, with-compliments slips and email signatures are set on the same grid, so the set looks like 1 business.
| Item | Trimmed size (mm) | Where it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Business card | 90 x 55 | The Australian standard card. |
| DL | 99 x 210 | With-compliments slips, rack cards and flyers that fit a DL envelope. |
| A5 | 148 x 210 | Menus, single-page flyers and short-run booklets. |
| A4 | 210 x 297 | Letterhead, capability statements, price lists and reports. |
| A3 | 297 x 420 | In-store posters, counter signage and plans. |
For menus and venue collateral, restaurant and cafe branding covers designing for a dining room’s light.
Signage and vehicle artwork.
For signage design, I supply the vector artwork, colour references and a specification, and your sign company fabricates and installs it.
Shopfront fascias are set to the measured panel, with the colour references your sign company works from.
Window graphics come with cut paths for the vinyl.
A-frames, banners and pull-up stands are supplied as print-ready artwork at your supplier’s panel size.
Letter height is planned from the reading distance, using the signwriting rule of thumb of about 25 mm of capital height for every 3 metres.
Vehicle artwork is laid out panel by panel on your wrapper’s template, around the seams and handles.
Councils, landlords and heritage overlays each have their own rules for signs.
I’m not a planning consultant, so confirm what’s permitted with your council and landlord before anything is fabricated.
For utes, vans and uniforms, branding for tradies covers the reading distances and production limits in detail.
Print-ready files for every job.
Every job ends with files built for where the work is going.
| Where it ends up | Colour and resolution | Files | What it makes possible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offset or digital print | CMYK, 300 ppi | Press-ready PDF (PDF/X) with 3 mm bleed and crop marks | The printer trims cleanly to the edge, so colour runs right to the cut. |
| Large format | CMYK, about 100 to 150 ppi at final size | PDF or packaged vector artwork, often at a stated scale | The file stays a workable size and holds its detail at the distance a banner is read from. |
| Signage and vinyl | Vector, with spot colour or vinyl references | AI, EPS or vector PDF on the fabricator's template | Cutting and routing machines follow paths, so the sign comes out exactly as drawn. |
| Screen | RGB | SVG for marks, PNG or WebP for the rest, at 1x and 2x | Marks stay sharp at any size, and images look crisp on high-density screens. |
| Editable templates | Office software | Word, PowerPoint or Google Slides, built on real styles and master slides | You can update a phone number or a price yourself and keep the layout intact. |
Fonts are licensed for specific uses, so I list the fonts each layout uses, and you can check your licence covers print, web and signage.

How a graphic design job runs with me.
- Step 1
Brief
Final size, where it's seen, quantity, deadline and who's printing it.
If the printer is chosen, I build to their template and bleed.
- Step 2
Layout on your real content
Your actual headings, your longest product name and your phone number, so the layout works with the words it will really carry.
- Step 3
Proof at real size
A card checked at 90 x 55 mm, a fascia checked from across the road, and contrast checked rather than eyeballed.
- Step 4
Handover
Press-ready files to your printer's spec, plus editable templates for anything you'll update yourself.
I’m the graphic designer on every job, from the brief to the files.
How I price graphic design work.
Graphic design is quoted per piece, per package or monthly, based on what you need.
- Per piece: a defined job with a known output, such as 1 brochure or a set of cards.
- Per package: a launch or campaign set, quoted together.
- Monthly: steady ongoing output, quoted on the volume you need.
Each quote says what counts as a revision round.
For a whole identity rather than 1 job, the branding cost calculator turns a scope into a range from my starting prices.
Brand first, then production.
A vector logo, defined colours and type rules give every job the same starting point.
If those aren’t in place yet, logo design services and brand design come first, and brand guidelines keep every later piece consistent.
Graphic design services: common questions
The design of a business's everyday material, made to its brand: business cards and stationery, brochures and flyers, signage and vehicle artwork, packaging and labels, social and email templates, decks and tender documents, reports, and campaign assets resized across formats.
Your quote covers the pieces you ask for, so 1 brochure and a campaign in 14 sizes are quoted as the different jobs they are.
Graphic design is quoted per piece, per package or monthly, based on what you need.
A defined piece gets a fixed quote, a launch or campaign set is quoted as a package, and steady ongoing work is quoted monthly.
The written quote on your brief is the figure that counts, and it says what counts as a revision round.
The standard Australian business card is 90 x 55 mm.
That's a little wider than the 85 x 55 mm card common in Europe, and wider and taller than the 88.9 x 50.8 mm (3.5 x 2 inch) card used in North America, so an overseas template sent to an Australian printer needs reshaping first.
Cards are commonly printed on stock between 300 and 400 gsm, and a finish such as foil or spot gloss sits on its own artwork layer, so it's planned before the layout is built.
Signage design is graphic design with a fabrication job attached.
I produce the vector artwork, colour references and a specification, and your sign company fabricates and installs it, including any engineering or electrical work the sign needs.
Councils, landlords and heritage overlays each have their own rules for signs, so confirm what's permitted before anything is made.
Yes.
Template tools suit internal documents, quick social posts and one-off notices.
Custom graphic design suits anything with a production cost attached: work cut from vinyl or routed from metal, anything printed large, and packaging.
Your logo belongs in custom artwork too, because template elements come with their own licence terms.
A common middle ground is custom artwork for those pieces and editable templates for the rest.
It helps, because it changes what you pay.
With a vector logo, defined colours and type rules, every job starts on-brand from the first piece.
Settled once, those decisions carry into every later piece, so it's usually better value to set the identity first and treat ongoing production as the second stage.
