# Graphic Design & Photography in Hackney

Source: https://dijitulmedia.co.uk/locations/hackney/

> Hackney breweries, makers, direct-to-consumer brands and independent shops work with dijitul on labels, packaging, product photography, shop branding and social graphics. All design is done remotely from Mansfield with proofs sent online, and photography is shot on location in Hackney with travel quoted. Product photography starts from £25 + VAT per image and logos from £150 + VAT.

Hackney's economy now leans heavily on creative, digital and independent businesses. The southern tip of the borough, around Shoreditch, is the centre of East London's tech scene, and Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston continue the mix of studios, agencies and production companies. Next to the Olympic Park, Hackney Wick and Fish Island are known for artists' studios, workshops, makers and craft breweries in converted warehouses. Broadway Market, London Fields, Mare Street, Chatsworth Road and Stoke Newington Church Street are lined with independent cafés, food shops and boutiques.

A lot of Hackney businesses are small, founder-led brands selling online as well as through a shop, stall or taproom. Their design needs are product-first:

- Can and bottle labels for breweries and drinks brands, built to the printer's or sleeve supplier's template
- Packaging, mailer boxes and inserts for food, homeware, fashion and beauty brands
- Product photography on white for web shops, plus styled shots for social media
- Shop and stall branding: signage, price cards, bags and stickers
- Social media templates the founder can update from a phone

Agencies and studios in Shoreditch sometimes bring us production work, such as resizing a campaign into dozens of ad formats or setting up print files, when their own designers are stretched. Tech start-ups need brand packs, decks and app graphics. Hackney also has a large voluntary sector, including small charities, housing groups and arts organisations, and a fashion and textiles heritage, so campaign leaflets, reports, lookbooks and garment photography are regular requests. We design everything remotely from Mansfield, at a price fixed before work begins. Photography and short social videos are shot on location in Hackney, with travel quoted before booking.
