Design Services
A state of the art studio and a team of experienced creative designers can take your brief and work with you to produce a complete solution to fit any budget.
Working with Reade Signs from concept through to installation means you save the additional costs involved when you need to use a separate design company. Our design team will also ensure that your signage fits perfectly with your existing branding and artwork – presenting a uniform identity across all your marketing collateral.
Design
Successful signage depends on impact and clarity. Today's technology allows the application of imagery in ever more varied locations but the true power of digital media is only apparent when allied to great design.
At Reade Signs, our combination of experience and expertise ensures that the designs we create for your signage reinforce your brand or message and reflect the special discipline required for designing on a large scale. You can be sure that we will use only the processes and technology that complement your brief.
3D Visualisation
Seeing your proposed banners, signs, or sales centres brought to life using Reade's high quality graphic visualisation software lets you get a perfect preview of how they will look when installed.
After creating the signage footprint on a 2D technical plan, we convert it to 3D and present you with a visualisation that is perfectly to scale and allows you to view proximity, heights, colour schemes, and all necessary details.
The visualisation is suitable as a basis for a planning permission application, gives you a means of analysing any health and safety concerns, and lets you gauge your chosen finish or style and design in situ, alongside other commercial units or store fronts, for instance.
Best of all, a 3D visualisation ensures that all parties involved in the final project have a sense of the bigger picture and can work together to achieve an agreed end result.
Reade Signs offer 3D visualisation as part of our standard service. Just ask us about it when you discuss your project.
Technical Information
We are happy to accept your files for art-working in any of the following formats:
- PSD Adobe Photoshop (Please make sure fonts are supplied with artwork)
- AI Adobe Illustrator (Please make sure fonts are supplied with artwork or outlined)
- EPS (Illustrator & Photoshop)
- PDF (Minimum resolution of 72dpi @ full size)
- Quark documents (Collected for output with all images and fonts attached)
- INDD Adobe InDesign (Packaged with all images and fonts)
Image files should be in .TIFF (preferred) or .JPG formats with a minimum resolution of 72dpi @ full size to prevent compromising the final output with poor quality graphics.
Files and imagery may be delivered on CD, DVD, or even by email (if not too large).
NB: Files often arrive at only10% of full size. Usually, this is because most software programmes have art board limits well bellow the scales at which we normally work. In most cases, this doesn't present a problem but where images are involved they do need to be 720dpi @ 10% to enable us to produce a good end product at full size.
