# Graphic Design & Photography in Kingston upon Thames

Source: https://dijitulmedia.co.uk/locations/kingston-upon-thames/

> dijitul media works with Kingston upon Thames retailers, restaurants and start-ups on logos from £150 + VAT, menus, packaging and social graphics. Every design job is done remotely from Mansfield with proofs sent by email. When you need photos, we shoot in Kingston, Surbiton or New Malden, from £295 + VAT plus travel.

Kingston is one of south-west London's main shopping towns. The Bentall Centre, the historic Market Place and the riverside restaurants draw customers from across Surrey, and many of the businesses are independents trading next to national chains. Competing with a chain on the same street usually comes down to presentation: a clear logo, a fascia that reads from across the road, a menu people can scan quickly and social posts that look like they come from the same place.

Kingston University, with campuses at Penrhyn Road, Knights Park and Kingston Hill, is known for art and design, and it feeds a steady supply of graduates into small studios and start-ups. Start-ups here often want a brand identity and a pitch deck first, then product photography and packaging design once they have something to sell.

New Malden has one of the largest Korean communities in Europe, with restaurants, grocers and import businesses along its High Street. Bilingual menus, labels and signs need care: Korean and English text set at matching weights, fonts that include every character, and final artwork with text outlined so the printer cannot substitute a font. Imported food products may also need UK-compliant English labelling added to existing packs.

Elsewhere, Surbiton has a parade of independent shops and cafés, Tolworth mixes offices and trade units, and Chessington World of Adventures brings a seasonal leisure economy.

Work we would expect to quote for in the borough:

- Menus, signage and social templates for riverside restaurants and bars
- Bilingual Korean and English menus, labels and posters
- Brand identity packs and pitch decks for graduate start-ups
- Packaging and product photography for independent retailers
- Headshots for letting agents and professional firms

All of the design is done remotely from Mansfield. Shoots happen on location in Kingston, with travel added to the quote.

### Can you design bilingual Korean and English menus for New Malden?

Yes. dijitul sets bilingual menus, labels and posters with matched type in both scripts, then outlines the text in final artwork so nothing changes at the printer. You supply or approve the Korean wording. Menu work is quoted as a fixed price or charged at £45 an hour + VAT design time.

### Can you photograph products for a Kingston retailer?

Product photography starts from £25 + VAT per image on a clean background, cropped for your website and marketplaces. For larger ranges or lifestyle shots in your shop, we shoot on location in Kingston from £295 + VAT for a half day, with travel from Mansfield quoted first.

### Do you design for businesses in Surbiton and Tolworth?

Yes. We design for businesses across Kingston borough and nearby Richmond, Sutton and north Surrey. Design is handled remotely, so prices are the same wherever you are. Only photography and video involve travel, and that is always agreed in the quote before booking.
