Colin The Designer

Graphic designer, book designer, and print service provider in Northern Ireland, handling projects of all sizes.
(1)

Hi, I’m Colin, a graphic designer dedicated to delivering creative, fair, and effective design solutions. I offer a full graphic design and print service for projects of all sizes, working with a wide range of clients, from schools and charities to businesses and individuals, I am committed to building strong, lasting relationships. Great design starts with curiosity, "What if we try this? What if

we do that?" I make every project an exciting, collaborative experience, where fresh ideas lead to those ‘aha’ moments that bring designs to life. Since 2007, I’ve been designing and managing print production for everything from books and magazines to flyers, posters, logos, and banners. I provide clear, upfront quotes, usually at a flat rate, for total transparency. Plus, I work with trusted printers to guarantee the best quality, turnaround times, and pricing.

IT TAKES ALL KINDS

In his second poetry collection, Robert looks at the everyday lives of all sorts of people, highlighting their differences, struggles, and small moments of beauty. His poems are honest, thoughtful, and sometimes funny, with a real care for those who don’t always fit in. I had the pleasure of working with Robert on the book’s design, and it was great to see how well the visuals matched the tone and feeling of his writing.

DARE TO DREAM

I had the opportunity to work with Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council on the design of the Harry Gregg: Dare to Dream exhibition, which ran at Coleraine Town Hall from July to August 2024. It was a privilege to help bring Harry’s remarkable story to life through visual storytelling and thoughtful design. The exhibition honoured his legacy as both a footballing icon and humanitarian, and it was rewarding to contribute to a project that resonated so strongly with the local community and visiting audiences alike.

SHARE DISCOVERY VILLAGE

I designed an A4 tri-fold leaflet (folded to DL) for Share Discovery Village in Lisnaskea, aimed at promoting their wide range of outdoor activities, inclusive facilities, and accommodation options. The project involved creating a vibrant, user-friendly layout that effectively showcased the organisation’s unique offerings to families, schools, and community groups. With a focus on clear navigation, engaging imagery, and strong branding, the leaflet was designed to be both informative and visually appealing, ideal for display racks, mailouts, and visitor handouts.

The final design supports Share’s mission to provide accessible adventure experiences for all, helping them connect with new audiences and increase visitor engagement.

Our Story

If you have a design and print project in mind, large or small I would love to hear about it.

Established in 2007, I design and organise the printing of small and large format print items for my clients, including books, magazines, newsletters, leaflets, flyers and posters, logos, stationery and banners as well as many other design and print items. If you need something designed and printed, then I can do it.

I create every project with care and attention, and because I work with a network of quality printers I can always find the best print solution, turn around time and price for my clients.
