# Graphic Design & Photography across the West Midlands

Source: https://dijitulmedia.co.uk/locations/west-midlands/

> In the West Midlands, dijitul media designs logos, catalogues, packaging and CAD drawings remotely from Mansfield, closer than many expect via the M1 and A38. Photography and video are shot on location with travel quoted upfront. CAD and design time is £45 an hour + VAT, and logos start from £150 + VAT.

The West Midlands is England's manufacturing heartland, so CAD and technical drawing work is a large part of what businesses here need. Jaguar Land Rover has major sites in Solihull and Castle Bromwich, Coventry is known for automotive engineering and battery research around WMG at the University of Warwick, and the Black Country still has a dense cluster of casting, toolmaking, fabrication and precision engineering firms, many of them family owned.

Those firms often have decades of paper drawings, old DWG files from retired software and parts that only exist as a physical sample. Typical requests are redrawing legacy drawings in current CAD, converting files between DWG, DXF and STEP, producing sheet metal flat patterns for laser cutting, and photographing products for a catalogue or trade show stand.

Stoke-on-Trent remains the home of British ceramics. Tableware, giftware and tiles need careful product photography: white glazes on white backgrounds, pattern detail that survives compression and lifestyle shots that show scale. The same makers need packaging, swing tags and catalogues. JCB is based in Staffordshire, adding to the engineering supply chain north of Birmingham.

- Automotive and engineering suppliers: CAD, technical drawings, renders
- Black Country fabricators: sheet metal drawings and catalogue photography
- Stoke-on-Trent ceramics makers: product photography and packaging
- Birmingham professional firms: brand identity, reports and presentations
- Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire: food, farm and tourism branding

Birmingham is one of the largest professional services centres outside London, with HSBC UK headquartered in the city, so we also design stationery, report templates and pitch documents for law and accountancy firms. All design is done remotely from Mansfield. Shoots in the region are on location, with travel included in the quote.
