Got questions? We’ve got answers.
What kind of clients do you work with?
We work in a range of industries, from startups to established companies, NGOs and world renowned charities. We create impactful visuals for our clients through branding, illustration, animation, and publication design.
How do you approach a new branding project?
We begin with a deep understanding of your business, target audience, and goals. Our process includes research, concept development, and design testing to ensure your brand stands out amid your competitors.
Can you help with both print and digital publication design?
Yes, we specialise in both print and digital publications, creating designs that are not only visually appealing but also optimised for accessibility standards, whether it’s a report, brochure or interactive PDF.
What’s the timeline for completing an animation project?
The timeline for an animation project depends on the complexity and length of the animation. Is it a 10 second motion graphics piece for a social media campaign or an animated explainer video to be hosted on your website? Typically, it can range from a few weeks to a couple of months, with regular updates and collaboration throughout the process. We typically work on a script outline provided by you and then create storyboards which we will refine with you before we start animating. You’ll also want to think about whether you want a professional VoiceOver artist and music licensing and we can manage that on your behalf.
Do you offer brand guidelines and support after project completion?
We provide comprehensive brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all platforms. We also offer ongoing support and design updates as needed to keep your brand fresh and relevant.
Are your illustrations bespoke?
Yes! We love to draw unique things for you. If budget is a real concern then we could potentially use stock illustrations for your designs, but if you want a unique and cohesive look then we would recommend fully commissioned illustrations from us.
Is it true that you got your company name because it makes up part of the founder’s ‘Star Wars’ name?
NGL, yes it is.
Can you work with clients outside Edinburgh?
Yes! We collaborate with clients across the UK and sometimes across the globe through phone calls, online meetings and email. Zoom sure did make the world more accessible, didn’t it?
Do you offer printing services?
We don’t provide in-house printing but we can manage the printing process on your behalf with trusted print partners.
