Print & Collateral

Print & Collateral.
Polished in hand.

Some impressions happen away from a screen. I design business cards, flyers, brochures, signage, and sales materials that feel like a natural extension of your brand—clear in the moment and worth keeping afterward.

Made to be seen.
Designed to be used.

A handout, a brochure, and a banner each have a different job. The format and reading order should follow how someone will actually encounter the piece.

Business cards & stationery

Make everyday materials feel deliberate, with clear contact details and a practical hierarchy. Layout, size, paper, and finishing options are considered around the brand and the selected production route.

Flyers & service sheets

Turn an offer or service into a piece people can scan quickly. Give the headline, essential details, and next step the right emphasis, whether the goal is an inquiry, event visit, or follow-up conversation.

Brochures & booklets

Organize longer information into a readable sequence. Content length, panels, folds, and page count are planned together so the design has room to work without hiding important details in tiny type.

Signage & event materials

Design banners, display graphics, and other agreed large-format pieces for the distance and environment where they will be seen. Production dimensions and vendor requirements are confirmed before final artwork.

Sales materials & repeat-use layouts

Create branded proposals, capability sheets, leave-behinds, or recurring layouts. Editable templates, software requirements, and future reuse are defined in scope so the handoff fits your workflow.

Have an upcoming event, promotion, or print deadline? Let’s plan the right pieces.

A useful piece has a clear job

Good on screen.
Right in the real world.

A service sheet needs a different reading order from an event flyer. A banner needs fewer words than a brochure. We choose the format and hierarchy around the moment the piece needs to support.

Then the artwork is prepared for the agreed vendor and dimensions. Final copy, contact details, QR destinations, and proof approval are part of the process.

A focused message
Make the offer, essential details, and next step easy to find.
A practical format
Account for size, folds, handling, and viewing distance.
A considered handoff
Provide the agreed output files and flag production decisions.

How it works

From a clear brief
to prepared artwork.

The design and production context are connected from the start, so the finished piece is planned—not improvised at export.

Define the piece

Confirm the purpose, audience, quantity needs, deadline, and intended use. Select a format with the production requirements in mind.

Gather the essentials

Review brand assets, approved copy, images, contact information, and any QR destination. Identify missing details before layout work advances.

Design & refine

Build the hierarchy and visual layout, then incorporate the agreed feedback. Review content at a realistic size rather than only zoomed in on screen.

Prepare & approve

Check the chosen vendor specifications and export the agreed files. Review the final proof and confirm who authorizes production before printing.

Why Charles Choate Creative

The same standard.
In a different medium.

I connect the brand, copy, and layout so your printed materials feel like the same business people know online. You work directly with the person preparing the design.

Your existing brand comes first
An established identity can carry into new collateral without a redesign of the whole business.
Content shaped for the format
The layout should help the message, not force a full website page into a small flyer.
Clear production responsibilities
Design work, vendor coordination, printing, shipping, and specialist finishes are separated in the scope.

Before we get started

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A few things worth knowing before we begin. Have a question about your project? Send it to Charles.

Can you match our existing website and brand?

Yes. Existing logos, fonts, colors, and brand guidelines can guide the collateral. Send the current website and source assets so we can distinguish the details to preserve from anything that needs cleanup.

Do you print the materials or provide the design?

The service described here is design and preparation of the agreed artwork. Printing, materials, shipping, and any vendor coordination are separate unless explicitly included in the proposal. The selected printer provides the production specifications and proof process.

Can you design a flyer with a QR code?

Yes, when included in scope. We need the exact destination and the intended printed size. The code and surrounding space should be planned into the layout, and the final code should be checked before production. A QR code does not replace clear contact or offer information.

What do you need before starting?

The intended use, deadline, format or vendor specifications, approved copy, logo files, and usable images are the main starting points. For an event or promotion, dates, contact details, and any required notices should be confirmed before final artwork.

Will I get an editable template?

Editable templates can be included when agreed upfront. The right format depends on the software you use and which parts need to change regularly. A print-ready PDF and an editable working file serve different purposes, so both should be discussed in the scope.
