Design for Barry businesses
The Vale of Glamorgan's biggest town grew around docks built to export South Wales coal, and Barry Island's beach and pleasure park still draw day visitors from across the region, helped by the town's appearance in Gavin and Stacey.
Seaside businesses need a steady supply of simple, effective print: menus, price boards, posters, banners and social graphics that change with the season. Ice cream kiosks, cafés and arcades are seen at a distance by people walking along the promenade, so bold type and a short message work best. A set of menu and price board templates lets staff update prices without redesigning anything.
West of town, the old RAF site at St Athan is now an aerospace business park with aircraft maintenance firms, plus Aston Martin's DBX factory, and Cardiff Airport sits nearby at Rhoose. Suppliers to these businesses need technical drawings, illustrated parts diagrams, 3D models and capability documents that meet the expectations of aerospace and automotive customers.
Industry has not gone either: a major silicones plant and working docks keep chemical and port businesses in the town. They need safety signage, technical literature and clear process diagrams.
- Seaside cafés and attractions: menus, posters, banners, social graphics
- Aerospace and automotive suppliers: CAD, parts diagrams, brochures
- Chemical and port businesses: signage, diagrams, technical literature
- Home-based professionals: logos, stationery, email signatures
- Trades and fitness businesses: logos, van graphics, leaflets
Plenty of residents commute to Cardiff, and many of the businesses left in town are one or two people working from home. Their needs are straightforward: a logo, business cards, an email signature that looks professional, and social templates they can update themselves.
Cardiff and Vale College's Barry campus brings students and new start-ups into the mix.
