Inspiration and Wonder

At childsdesign we're always on the look out for places to find interesting and unusual props for client photo shoots, as well as things that fill us with inspiration and ideas for our next design project.
We've just discovered a new local source of inspiration and wonder – Wunderkammer!
Hidden in the village of Arlesey, Bedfordshire is an amazing Aladdins cave of 'stuff' just waiting to be picked up and used in a whole host of different ways.
Baskets, boxes, toys, books, plates, bowls, clocks, mirrors, musical instruments, tables, chairs, animal skulls, space-hoppers – you name it and it's probably there, if it's not, then just pick up a box and it's probably hiding underneath.
If like us, you love 'things', then we'd recommend that you visit this magical cave and see what it may have for you (just don't buy all of our props while you're there).
Wunderkammer isn't open everyday, so visit their blog for info – www.wunderkammershop.blogspot.com

Business Link Vouchers

childsdesign are registered with the Business Link Supplier Brokerage Service.
This means that if you're a new start business and you've attended any Business Link course you can come to us with the vouchers that they give you once you've completed the course.

The vouchers can be used for advice or as part payment to the first job we produce for you.

To add to the value even further, we've put together some great flexible packages to get you off to a good start. Your identity is important, and we want to make sure that you are presented to your clients in a professional manner right from the start.

If you already have an idea in your head and you'd like us to help you get this onto paper (or a website), we can do that for you. If you have a company name and really don't know what to do next, we can help you with some ideas to get your company identity up and running.

Once we've got your identity sorted we can help with brochures and direct mail. May be you have product you sell and you want to put together a catalogue to get out to your prospective customers, maybe you need an e-commerce website - we can guide you through everything you'll need to do to get the best results at the best prices.

Please take a look at our website: www.childsdesign.com, to see the basic packages we've put together and give us a call or drop us an email (info@childsdesign.com) if you'd like to find out more - we won't give you prices until we've had time to meet with you and discuss exactly what you want or need.

“childsdesign has significantly contributed to the successful rebranding of Alton Greenhouses and Robinsons Greenhouses. Their creative expertise has enabled us to display complicated information in an easy to read style. First class design expertise!”
Neil O’Sullivan - Marshalls PLC

We don't believe in giving out quotes that we can't keep to and will lead to additional costs at the end of the job. We do believe in being honest and fair to all of our clients, so we'll tell you if we think you're wasting your money on things you don't need and help you with the things that you can do for yourself.

"We always leave our creative design requirements to the last minute and because of this our project briefs always start with "we haven't got much time on this". Part of this is childsdesign's doing as they always meet our tight deadlines and exceeds our expectations with regards to their creative direction"
Steve Harris - Harris and Jones
