CHRIS RARERE

Chris brings a unique blend of knowledge and experience to the team. Initially trained as a photographer, he combines image editing skills, a good eye for design and layout, with strong typographical skills and attention to detail.

A fast and competent mac operator, among his strengths is the ability to ‘police’ individual client house styles.

During the past six years Chris has been involved in the design, layout and production of marketing communications and collateral for a range of clients in the consulting, banking and software markets.

WORKING WITH YOU

In our experience, the most successful solutions are the result of a close collaboration between
client and designer. That's why we enjoy working with our clients, not just for them.

You know your business. We know how to communicate.

Our approach is process driven – based on strategic thinking followed by creative execution.
We enjoy learning about what makes your products and services tick. We want to know
your goals, and then help you achieve them.

And our integrated approach means that key messages are communicated consistently and accurately,
across a range of media, with each separate element building on the success of others.

We operate under the Designers Institute 'Graphic & Interactive Design Services Agreement' Terms & Conditions.
