Design for St Helens businesses
St Helens is the home of the British glass industry. Pilkington invented the float glass process here in the 1950s, still has major operations in the town, and Glass Futures has been developing a research and manufacturing centre to help the industry cut carbon. A supply chain of engineering, materials and processing firms surrounds them.
Glass is one of the hardest things to photograph. It reflects everything in the room, shows every fingerprint and can disappear against a plain background. Good product photography of glass uses controlled reflections, black or white edge lighting and careful cleaning, then retouching to remove dust. We plan these shoots carefully, on location at your site, and supply images for datasheets, websites and trade shows.
Materials and engineering firms also need technical datasheets, cut-away diagrams, 3D renders of products that are hard to photograph, and CAD drawings at £45 an hour + VAT. Exhibition graphics for building and glazing trade shows are another common job.
Haydock, beside junction 23 of the M6, holds a large concentration of distribution centres, and the Parkside site near Newton-le-Willows is being developed for logistics. Those operators need livery, warehouse signage and floor plans.
