Finding a graphic designer can be tricky, but finding the right graphic designer for the job can be even harder.

Since the internet came into the picture, postcards are usually the last thing we think of when we need to send someone a message. But the power of the written letter (or postcard) is widely underestimated. Many people still value receiving a personalised postcard – whether it’s sent as a gift, to notify somebody of a birthday celebration or simply to say “thinking of you” or “wish you were here”.

Planning a wedding can be stressful as there is a lot to do in a short period of time. Always keep in mind that the first impression of your glorious day starts with the presentation of your wedding invitations. Your wedding invitations set the tone for what can be expected and it spurs up some excitement amongst your friends and family.

The history of digital printers and printers in general can be tied to almost any printing store in the world, as companies such as Minuteman Press (who are digital printers in Hyde Park) are part of the long and evolved history of this fascinating technology which helped to revolutionise the world.      The first printing press was invented in the fifteenth century by a man known as Gutenberg who realised that printing could be made faster and less expensive if it was tied into the concept of a rapid-fire printing production line. Digital printing presses only came much later in the twentieth century – in 1993 the idea of combining a printing press and computers came into light thanks largely to Xerox who played a massive role in its development.

Our visually driven society these days do not even flinch at the sight of colourful and attention grabbing posters, banners, pamphlets and other print media. Yet this was not always the case, as the history of colour printing shows. The short but interesting journey of colour printing reflects not only a changing attitude to marketing styles and techniques, but also represents a shift in consumer attitude towards how a marketing campaign is executed. Most consumers will not give a bland looking black and white pamphlet the time of day, whereas they are more likely to respond to colourful media – a field in which Minuteman Press Hyde Park specialises in.
