Welcome to creatopia.co.uk; a design agency with a difference. We aim to provide a standard of design service that a large company expects and enjoys. The difference is that we offer it to the smaller business at an affordable price.

"How can you do this?"
The answer is simple. We are careful to keep our overheads low.

"Can you do this?"
Yes. Our principal has over 15 years experience in graphic design. He originally studied for an HND in Printing and Graphic Design at Berkshire College of Art and Design, one of the best equipped printing colleges in the UK, and has since worked freelance for agencies and in-house for large organisations. Companies he has worked for, either freelance or directly employed, include household names such as LEGO, ASDA, Mamas & Papas and M&S. In addition, he has worked with companies less familiar to the public but well-known in their respective fields such as Intersurgical and BlueArc, together with many smaller local companies, covering a very wide creative range.

creatopia has provided standard corporate print-work at all stages from conception to delivery - catalogues, business cards - advertising work such as magazine ads, shop POS and billboards - illustrations for internal and public user manuals & safety guides and assembly instructions for furniture. We have also built static and dynamic web sites, arranged & directed photoshoots and created interactive elements with Flash.

No news is good news.
Things have been relatively busy of late.

We have a couple of good clients whose jobs are nearing completion.
I have been working on some site changes which should be released soon. No major alterations but a couple more tabs in the navigation bar and extra information. I may change this news set-up as well. It was something I quickly knocked up in an evening but I shall move it to its own page and redo it all.
In my spare time I have been writing a full guide to designing and building an in-car PC for another site. It is a large project and no-where near complete yet but if this sort of thing interests you drop me a line through my contacts page.

The last few months have been busy. The current economic climate means people are cutting costs but a wise company ensures they do not stop their marketing.

Recently we have saved one company over 80% on their online sales strategy. We can do the same for you.
With redundancies commonplace many people are starting their own small businesses. Is this you? Contact us for help. We will provide an excellent service at a fraction of the price of most design agencies.

New site up and running. You may notice that the pages change every time you visit or refresh them.

If you find a colour you particularly like you can note the colour code listed in the bar at the bottom of the page. I have written the code so colours too light to allow the page to be read easily should not appear. Occasionally one may be generated which falls close to the threshold. If this happens just refresh the page.
The bottom of the page contains random artwork that will change with every refresh. Clicking it will take you to the relevant section. All other pages will bring up larger versions.

If you are browsing this site with Internet Explorer 6 may I suggest upgrading to IE7 or Firefox as this site makes extensive use of transparent png files not supported by IE6. Upgrading will improve your viewing experience.
There is more content to come including some special pages for specific skills.
