Design and photography
Our designers work in collaboration with our editors, web developers, brand and print production teams to ensure that all University publications communicate our messages effectively.
All print or web jobs that we take on are edited and proofread. The editorial services section of our website gives more information about how our editors can help you.
The right image
Our Graphic Design Manager Rhys Holland at work
We are happy to consult with you to ensure that you have a range of relevant, fresh and interesting photographs for all your publications.
We maintain ImageBank, a database of photographs aligned with the University brand and approved for use in University marketing materials. If you use stock photography you should assess images against the Brand Style photography identity guide.
The University's Brand Style Guidelines are one of our most-used references, and have detailed information about the brand photographic style.
The guidelines provide information about our colour palette, typography, use of our logo and give plenty of advice on our preferred editorial style, including tone of voice.
