Multi-disciplined creative services :
The team at Terry Church Design are a small but multi-disciplined bunch with many qualifications to-boot. This means we can communicate through a very wide range of print or web communications so your brand remains consistent no matter how you advertise or market your business.
Digital photography and photoshop manipulation:
Prior to 10 years in advertising design, Terry Church worked as a freelance photographer for a number of years and was practically born with a camera in his hand. Today his focus is design with photography second but he still wields a mean eye for photography and is considered a guru in the use of Photoshop.
Our particular specialties are people and product photography, architectural photography, and digital image manipulation. For highly specialised work we can source an appropriate photographer and studio facility as required.
We can also advise you how to set-up your own mini lighting and photographic rigs so you can take continuous photos of your own. This is particularly useful for online stores with high stock turnover that wish to create an 'assembly line' style of set-up to take the photos themselves and save photography costs.
Writing copy for websites:
Well written and structured copy (text) will help your search ranking which means your website will be found more often and by more people. Hits are one thing but short visits or a high 'bounce-off' rate could also do your SEO ranking harm.
The answer to turning 'tyre-kickers' into readers is no mystery. It simply comes down to providing what people really want from your website copy... answers to specific questions, some free advice, easy website navigation, and of course - what it is that you do better than others and why should I buy off you. Funny enough, search engines want this type of related information too.
The most effective way to write copy is to give just enough to wet their appetites and suggest they contact you for more. You also need to think a lot about structure as search engine robots and people prefer grammatically correct copy and both will reward you by staying longer.
Finally, think about how language can affect the image of your business. For example, corporate and business markets demand minimum professional standards or readers will place your website in the junk bin of their mind very quickly if you don't appear have something they want.
Copy writing is an art form of its own. Talk to us about writing the copy for website specific needs. Phone us on 07 5578 7059 or contact us here.
Advertising concepts:
One of our greatest strengths is conceiving the advertising concept behind your visual advertising design needs whether it's for print graphics or web design.
One quick and simple example is GPATS, a leading Australian company in the area of lightning detection and reporting. In Australia there are 300,000 lightning strikes per year and risk during outdoor sporting events is rising. GPATS commissioned us with the task of turning some fairly average advertising copy into a highly visible magazine and newspaper advertisement.
The resulting concept was a cleverly constructed series of advertisements based around the positioning statement "With GPATS... they would have seen it coming". Each week a new GPATS advertisement would depict a different scenario of an outdoor sports person at the moment of lightning impact (no actual damage). The headline on each ad to bring light to the seriousness of the problem simply reading "LIGHTNING KILLS."
The above is one of many advertising ideas we have conceived to back up the graphic and website design work we do. We do not charge our design clients extra for this as it is simply part of our design process. We have worked on a range of advertising concepts from global online domination campaigns down to one-off small business needs.

Retail concepts can range from a single sign design to a complete shop-front. The team at Terry Church Design are expert branding designers and take care of the creative aspects while an appropriate sign manufacturer is sought, specifically chosen for your project.
We can also work closely with your own preferred professionals such as interior designers, architects, and shop-fitters to ensure the final design is represented correctly across all mediums.
