Brisbane graphic design for everything with your name on it.

Business cards, flyers, brochures, signage, menus and reports, designed to match your brand and handed over ready to print. From the team that designs brands, based in Brisbane.

Graphic designers in Brisbane who start with your brand

Your business card, your sign and your brochure should look like they came from the same business.

Often they don’t, because they were made at different times, by different people, from different files. We design every piece from your brand: the same colours, fonts and voice, whether it’s one flyer or a year of marketing material. And because we’re the team that builds brands, we’ll tell you when a job needs more than a new layout.

What can a graphic designer make for your business?

Anything your brand goes on. These are the jobs we do most.

Business cards and stationery

Cards, letterheads, email signatures and the templates your team uses every day.

Flyers and brochures

Printed or digital, laid out around the one thing you want the reader to do next.

Signage and banners

Shopfronts, pull-up banners, and signs for events and trade shows.

Menus and packaging

For venues, cafés and products, designed for how people actually pick them up.

Reports and presentations

Annual reports, capability statements, proposals and slide decks that are easy to read.

Digital graphics

Ads, social templates, email headers and web banners that match your print work.

Graphic design work, start to finish

Two jobs that show the range, from a brand book to a campaign.

Escape Cycles brand guidelines spread with the colour palette and typeface

Escape Cycles

Brand guidelines

A brand book that sets out the logo, colours, type and how to use them, so everything designed after it matches, whoever makes it.

Full Moon Hotel 'Best Marketed Hotel' campaign flyers

The Full Moon Hotel

Campaign flyers

Flyers for the hotel’s Best Marketed Hotel entry, in the brand we refreshed with them.

What files will I get?

Files your printer can use straight away, and versions for everywhere else.

No “can you resend that at a higher resolution?” emails.

Your files
what lands in your inbox

Print-ready PDFs

In CMYK, with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, set up to your printer’s specs.

Web versions

PNG and JPG at the right sizes for email, social and your website.

Editable source files

So next year’s update starts from the real file, not a screenshot.

Fonts and images sorted

Fonts embedded and images at print resolution, so nothing comes back blurry.

How does a graphic design job run?

Five steps, from the brief to the box of flyers on your desk.

1

Brief

What it’s for, who it’s for, the sizes and where it’ll be printed or posted. A short call is usually enough.

2

Design

We design from your brand, or build the look first if there isn’t one yet.

3

Proof

You see it as it’ll print, and we refine it with you.

4

Files

Print-ready PDFs and web versions, checked against your printer’s specs.

5

Print

Send the files to your own printer, or we’ll organise the printing for you.

What clients say about working with us

I have used Kartia now for several pieces and they consistently do an amazing job. In nailing the brief, Kartia: listen, check for understanding, communicate, guide, work fast and best of all, apply their creativity to design something that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

The team at Kartia are simply fantastic! We recently launched our finance brokering business and this team really helped us understand our brand identity and strategy, and translated this into fantastic tools to launch our business.

How much does graphic design cost in Brisbane?

It’s quoted per job, because a business card and a 40-page report aren’t the same amount of work. You’ll have a fixed quote before we start.

What it is

The size, the number of pages, and how much copy and imagery it needs.

Your brand

Designing from brand guidelines is quicker than working out the look as we go.

How many versions

One flyer, or the flyer plus a social version and a pull-up banner.

Printing

Design only, or design with the printing organised.

Regular work, like monthly flyers or menus, can be quoted together, so you’re not asking for a price every time.

Who will design it?

Emily and Kassi, the same people you brief. We’re a small graphic design agency in Brisbane: no account managers and no outsourcing. Emily designs most of our print and digital work, and Kassi leads the brand and creative side. We work with businesses across the northside, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and the rest of Australia.

Graphic design questions

The things people ask before they start. Anything else, just ask.

It’s quoted per job, based on what it is, whether there’s a brand to design from, how many versions you need and whether we organise the printing. You’ll have a fixed quote before we start.

It depends on the size of the job and how quickly feedback comes back. You’ll get a timeline with your quote, and if there’s a print deadline, tell us at the start.

Yes. Send the files to your own printer, or we’ll organise the printing through printers we trust.

Print-ready PDFs in CMYK with bleed and crop marks, PNG and JPG versions for screens, and the editable source files.

No. If you have brand guidelines, we design from them. If you don’t, we’ll work from what you have, and tell you if building the brand first would save you money.

For a quick social post, often yes. For print, or anything that has to look like the rest of your brand for years, a designer gets the colours, files and layout right the first time. We’ve written about the difference.

Yes. Send us what you have, even an old PDF, and we’ll update it or rebuild it properly so it’s easy to change next time.

Yes. Once the final invoice is paid, the design and the files are yours.

Yes: social templates, ads, email headers, web banners and presentations, made to match your print work.

Yes. We’re based in Brisbane and work with businesses across Australia. Briefs run in person or on a video call.
