In these posts, I hope to shed some light on some of the strategies and design processes that we undertake when we are working with our clients so that you can gain an understanding of what design is all about.

I do appreciate that Graphic Design, as a service, is hard to quantify if you have no experience of it. If there are subjects that you are not sure about and have questions about, then please do get in touch via our form at the bottom of the page.

I am happy to receive emails from you but hide the address in a form to avoid being spammed by bots. The form does come through to me though, so don't be concerned about where it is going.

I look forward to hearing any feedback you have. 

Kind regards

Billie Sharp - Graphic Designer and Inclusive Optimization Trainer

You wouldn't build a house without good foundations!

Skyrocket your website SEO with foundations built for consistency
Agreed? Of course. If you built a house and decorated it with fancy wallpaper, flooring, furniture and blinds, but you hadn't made sure it was on solid foundations, you wouldn't be surprised that it takes extra effort, support and time and – not the least – money to keep propping up the walls and hoisting the roof back to the top.

New advert for Huxley Golf

Advert for Huxley Golf
I've worked with Huxley Golf for many years now and it's still nothing but a pleasure. We have templates set up that we recall and edit on request for their adverts. It's a system that works.  Huxley provides premier all-weather surfaces for golf. With corporate and individual clients their breadth of skills, knowledge and experience is phenomenal so you can imaging what an honour it is to work with them on their printed promotional materials.

New identity for Myca Palmer

Logo design for Myca Palmer
I really enjoyed the whole creative process of this logo design for Myca. Having met Myca at Bracknell Ladies Who Latte, we met for a coffee and Myca shared her completely unique story with me and explained her vision for what she wanted to achieve. We then discussed all her likes and dislikes and ideas that she had visualised in her head.

Tony Robins Disc Assessment for Billie Sharp
Um, sorry what was that now?  Following that question, on a business call tonight, I have just completed the 'Tony Robbins Disc Assessment' which categories you in one of four colour groups representing Dominance (red), Influence (yellow), Steadiness (green) & Conscientious (blue). It's actually quite interesting and potentially very useful when trying to empathise with my clients.  Here are my results...   An Overview of Your DISC Style

Challenges and frustrations
Thursday, January 12, 2023 - 22:37Author: billie@innov8gd.com
So frustrated! Have bust a gut to get up and running in 6 weeks and it's all ready to go but now in limbo because Google keeps erroring out when I submit payment details in Google ads, saying it's timed out! It did it when I set up the account last week but says to try again later so carried on knowing i'd come back to it. Have tried so many times. Dif cards, dif accounts but still same result. I wouldn't mind but I have an existing account for clients that I run ads for and that was working fine.

Thursday, January 12, 2023 - 22:14Author: billie@innov8gd.com
Ok so I have done something i've never done before... I have invested in coaching to get this training programme off the ground! I am building a marketing funnel that will help me filter out my ideal clients who I can really help! I'm soaking up every bit of training I can in order to build a client acquisition machine! Ha ha the irony! But to prove the point I truly believe - I find it so much easier and more productive to learn from real people when I need to learn something new!
