In no particular order, here’s what we do at Mat Dolphin.

Art Direction

Soft and fluffy, or cool and sleek? Mad and colourful, or minimal and white? We steer what something should look like above and beyond the actual design layout. It’s all about style. That’s what art direction is.

Branding & Identity

What helped you remember that person from the meeting last week? Was it what they said, how they looked, or the random orange shoes they were wearing? Catching peoples eye and being memorable is pretty much what branding and identity is. The identity of a person, product or company is what sticks in our minds when we think of them. They’re normally more memorable when they’re unique too. We can help create that uniqueness.

Digital design

Flashy, whizzy, all singing, all dancing websites and emails. That’s what everyone wants right? Not always. Sometimes a more understated and functional execution can have more impact. Either way, we can help. We design whilst our in-house developer builds all the technical background things you can’t see. That way we’re always in control of what’s happening.

Events design

Sometimes clients ask us to help with the launch of a product or campaign and we can help with that too. From an initial invite to taking over a space and branding an event, we can take care of pretty much everything.

Illustration

Not everything we do starts on an Apple Mac. In fact the more often we can pick up a pencil the better. Ideas flow a lot more easily on paper, so when we can we love to draw and doodle. We quite often bring illustrations into our designs to add an extra element to a project that you can’t achieve with words or photography.

Naming

So you want to start a company, but need a name. We can help with that. We meet lots of people who have a brilliant business idea and want an equally brilliant name. As we mentioned already, it’s all about being unique and memorable.

Print design

Sometimes it’s nice to create something that is tangible. Not everything is digital these days, and we still love ink on paper. There are so many different colours, textures and weights, what’s not to love? When we send something to print we always look forward to it being delivered, picking it up, holding and smelling it. Long live print.

This list is a brief overview of what we do, but over the years there’s been plenty of other random stuff we’ve done too. If you’ve got a project in mind give one of us a call and I’m sure we can help you out.
