For nature, for everyone Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust (SRWT) approached us with a desire to branch out from their old visual identity.

Whether it’s an annual report, a flyer, a large format poster or product packaging, when Ink & Water meets paper something magic happens. We’ve produced a huge range of print products for a wide range of clients, giving us an innate understanding of the unique benefits the medium can offer.

We have particular experience in the education sector and have designed a plethora of prospectuses for The University of Sheffield and other institutions. We advise on print specifications and have worked in partnership with several local printers over the years to secure the best value for our clients, whilst not compromising on the finished quality.

Web

We design simple, functional and often beautiful websites that are easy to use and an asset rather than a headache. By combining up-to-date techniques with an understanding of what a website needs to deliver, we create online designs that are loved by our customers, and their customers, alike.

All our sites are simple to manage and come with top quality hosting and technical support. We also make sure all our designs are responsive, meaning they adapt to any screen size – a must for usability and search engine optimisation. Whatever your budget, there’s an online package to meet your needs – let us know what you need and we’ll do the rest.

Clients include: Sheffield City Region, Harworth Group PLC, St. Thomas Crookes, Cocker & Carr Estate Agents

Brand

At Ink & Water we live for logos. However, great branding is not just about marks on paper; it’s about marking yourself out from the competition. We love working with businesses of all sizes to help them rationalise – and then visualise – how they want to present themselves to the world.

We have branding packages to suit all pockets and ambitions, from straightforward logo design to full-on brand reviews, including in-depth customer and competition analysis, to make the most of any new identity,

Doesn’t your enterprise deserve a mark of excellence?

Clients include: Natural Bed Company, The University of Sheffield Library, Outlines Festival

Video

A great video doesn’t have to be an epic production. We’ve produced footage for music stars, shot promos for colleges and created animated infographics for construction companies, all with the same understanding of the medium and attention to detail that results in a fantastic final cut.

We can film on location, or have access to some great local studio space. So whether you’re looking to add video content to your website to boost engagement, or you’re planning an event which requires big screen impact, get in touch to discover how we can help.

Clients include: Donny Osmond, Public Service Broadcasting, Blair Dunlop, Geri Halliwell
