AKGraphics design and create engaging annual reports that get noticed. ⠀ Would you like an Annual Report that gets noticed? We love to partner with businesses and government bodies to execute striking annual reports and strategy documents.
An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. As in the example here, infographics use striking, engaging visuals to communicate information quickly and clearly.
To produce a compelling professional report or strategy for any business, we need to fully understand your business, your brief and your objectives. By truly understanding your organisation we can produce report designs that accurately reflect your business and your brand.
A lot of the content was in numerical values, this allowed us to design creative and informative infographics, pie charts and bar graphs to communicate the data in a quick and easy manner. Annual reports can have a reputation for not being the most exciting design projects but with our creativity we can produce an interesting report or strategy that will engage your audience.
AKGraphics’ design requirement was to create a visual report that condensed all of the provided information into a small hand size report that portrayed a snapshot of the strengths of UCD. The final result is a coherent and comprehensive report that is also visually appealing.
Infographics are used to communicate information quickly, clearly and attract and maintain attention. They are particularly effective when you have a lot of text or number heavy content. Without knowing the term infographics you might refer to these as graphs, pie charts, illustrations, clip art, icons or symbols.
Designing successful annual reports is a core strength of AKGraphics. We have designed reports for UCD for the past four years. We are committed to providing well-considered and high quality design solutions that effectively communicate your message, goals and voice to your audience.
A published report can be a game changer; it is a great opportunity to showcase your business and your brand through unique design. We utilise white space while designing, therefore making it easier for even the busy reader to view the important sections quickly.
AKGraphics create powerful promotional material. Let us showcase your products and services in a professional and creative way with the help of our experienced designers. If you require design for a brochure, newsletter, informative booklet or anything in between please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, we’d love to chat! ⠀ #thinkingvisual
Brand recognition starts with a unique and memorable logo. For law firms, logo design depends heavily on the type of law you practice. The colors you use for your branding can have a lot to do with a clients’ perception of you. Colors create emotional responses in our brains, so you’ll need to think about the type of law you practice and the situations your clients are typically in. For example, if you practice family law, you may want to consider green, which represents health and renewal. If you practice business law, blues may work better, as it represents trust and confidence. #thinkingvisual
Recreating or starting your branding from scratch can be hard, but it’s the best way to be original. Each law firm has unique selling points and it’s important to show your individuality as a firm. Just think about how your firm started, who’s involved and what your story is. Think about how you could convert this into a design so consumers can get a feel of who you are. #thinkingvisual
Unique imagery is a great way to establish familiarity and trust through your law firm’s marketing. When it comes to the images on your website, sometimes stock photos can create a cold detached feel. Instead, consider adding high-quality photos of your office and staff, these help to remove the mystery from a potential client’s perception of your firm. Most people looking for a solicitor are in an emotionally sensitive state. Having a good sense of the firm they’ll be working with can create immediate trust. #thinkingvisual
We then created a brand guideline for O’Flaherty & Brown. This is a brand ‘bible’ that they can refer to for colours, fonts and style for any future communications. This ensures that their branding remains consistent and professional. #thinkingvisual
O’Flaherty & Brown wanted their new logo to be practical and given the length of both surnames they felt using initials was the smarter approach. Their office door is a light blue which inspired one of the colours for the logo along with the peach colour. We felt these colours represented a friendly and approachable solicitors company for clients. #thinkingvisual
O’Flaherty & Brown Solicitors approached AKGraphics to redesign business cards using their existing logo. However, we felt that O’Flaherty & Brown would benefit from a total rebrand. OFB agreed to undertake a complete rebrand which included logo design, business cards and stationary elements for their business. #thinkingvisual
In today’s highly competitive legal industry, you have to both stand out and provide a clear vision of who you are. Graphic design is a great way to do this. Good graphic design will give consumers a good sense of what kind of firm you are. This is important in a saturated market to instill trust and comfort in your customers when facing sensitive legal issues. #thinkingvisual
If you think digital marketing isn’t relevant in the legal industry, think again. Study’s have found that 74% of people seeking legal service visit a firm’s website to take action. Does your website stand the test? #thinkingvisual
Graphic design tells a story. It’s extremely important that new clients get a feel for what you do and what your firm’s background is. O’Flaherty & Brown wanted their new look to be friendly and encouraging for their clients, rather than strictly professional and intimidating like some Solicitors can appear. Creating a thoughtful design to represent your firm evokes the right image into customers’ minds. #thinkingvisual

We recommend you do two things immediately. ⠀ 1. Buy a Hickey’s Barm Brack (available online @nualahickey )⠀ 2. Call us if you have a food product that deserves a label design that actually reflects how delicious it is.⠀ If you are considering redesigning your current packaging or if you’re starting from scratch, please contact us and we can guide you through this process. #thinkingvisual
Barm Brack is traditionally served spread with real butter, and is also delicious toasted. Simply mouth watering 🤤 #thinkingvisual
Hickeys sell their tasty Barm Brack all year round, however because this product is specifically associated with Halloween, an eye-catching label was required to pique consumers interest. The Barm Brack now has a stand out label that will increase its desirability as the quality shines through the label. The black and gold foil on the label catches the light and shines, portraying a luxury product allowing it to stand out on shelves against its competitors. #thinkingvisual
Hickey’s Barm Brack is a traditional, handmade, yeast-risen fruit loaf. In Irish, it is known as báirín breac – ‘speckled loaf’ – because of the way the rich, sweet dough is laden with juicy sultanas and cherries. It is deliciously moist and packed with fruit and flavour. It keeps well and is best stored in an airtight tin. #thinkingvisual
During the design process, we worked with The Label Factory to select a textured paper and changed the print spec entirely to include a new custom shape and antique gold foil. We used a delicate line drawing style, with strokes spider-web-thin, to convey the creepy and eerie side of Halloween. Part of the illustration is printed with gold foil to advertise the prestige and quality of this product. This print finish helped to add an extra special touch. #thinkingvisual
While designing new labels for Hickeys famous Barm Brack, we were reminded how effective seasonal packaging can be for businesses for different occasions throughout the year. There are many benefits from including standing out from your competitors, renewing interest in your product and creating a more personal and relatable feel to your product on the shelf. #thinkingvisual
It was both interesting and unique to design a project where the main goal was not just about achieving an increase in sales. Instead, the desired outcome was to create a label that would help potential consumers to understand that this is a special, luxury Barm Brack. #thinkingvisual
Hickey’s Barm Brack is a traditional, handmade, yeast-risen fruit loaf. Made in small batches, it is deliciously moist and packed with fruit and flavour. This award winning Barm Brack is stocked in multiple locations throughout Ireland and is utterly divine and also features in @lonelyplanetfood Ultimate Eatlist! #thinkingvisual @nualahickey
AKGraphics were tasked with designing a Halloween themed label for Hickey’s Barm Brack. We jumped at the chance to work on such an interesting design project. After lots of research (including heavy taste testing) we designed a very traditional style label with a classic typeface. The new label design has a more premium feel and better represents the quality of Hickey’s Barm Brack. A “spooky meets luxury” look was achieved. #thinkingvisual @nualahickey

If you require design for a newsletter or informative booklet don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. #thinkingvisual
“I would highly recommend Anne and her team in AKGraphics. I have worked with them for the past few years and have always found their work to be highly creative and top quality. Anne and the team have always met any tight deadlines we have set and constantly produce great design work for us which include print and online advertising, concept/design development, direct mail, corporate brochures, exhibition materials etc.” Rob O’Keefe, Marketing Manager at Glanbia, Kilkenny #thinkingvisual
When designing the booklet we used photography throughout along with a bright colour palette to really catch the reader’s attention. We divided up the text by using headings and blocks of colour allowing readers to differentiate between sections of the brochure. We designed the informative booklet to A4 size on a silk finish paper and used a saddle stitch bind as we felt it would keep it neat and compact for readers. #thinkingvisual
The @nationalploughing are expecting over 240,000 visitors to flock to Fenagh for Irelands biggest agricultural event. The national ploughing championships have an overall economic impact of over €35 million! #thinkingvisual

Glanbia approached us to design an informative brochure to help farmers optimize their fields and crops for the year ahead. This brochure allows farmers to make informed and conscious decisions surrounding cropping and soil fertility to ensure the best results. #thinkingvisual

The modern, crisp, consistent and well thought out branding instantly gives Kavanagh & Co Solicitors a trusting, warm and established feel, which is exactly what a customer needs when they are enlisting a solicitor. Using imagery of people gives your firm a tangible and relatable feeling. Unique imagery is a great way to establish familiarity and trust through your law firm’s marketing.
“Anne and her team in AKGraphics are hugely talented, inspiring and understanding professionals who understand the needs of their clients. Upon embarking on creating information brochures it was essential that the brochures looked invited and conveyed the message as legal information can be daunting. Anne and her team fully understood the brief and delivered. Would definitely recommend AKGraphics”. ⠀ Kirsty Kavanagh founder of Kavanagh and Co Solicitors, Carlow.
Kavanagh and Co Solicitors also have their suite of brochures available in PDF format, which means they can email the relevant brochure through to potential clients. This gives a really strong first impression to potential clients and provides them with clear, concise information. Having the brochures in digital format also allows Kavanagh & Co to promote their services visually on social media and showcase them on their website.
Graphic design tells a story and in the case of legal firms it is extremely important that new clients get a feel for your story and your firm’s background. For Kavanagh & Co Solicitors, it was essential to make their legal brochures friendly, informative and reassuring for their clients, rather than strictly professional and intimidating.
Creating individual legal service brochures allowed us to give more precise and helpful information to a more targeted client. It avoids overwhelming the client with additional legal information on topics they may not need and allows more room to provide the client with the relevant and valuable information that they are looking for. The imagery and minimal text allows the reader to instantly understand which legal service the brochure is for.
If you think digital marketing isn’t relevant in the legal industry, think again. Studies have found that 74% of people seeking legal services visit a firm’s website to take action. Does your website stand the test?
After some thought, we acknowledged that not everyone who needs services for buying a house would need information on workplace assaults and having a ‘one size fits all’ brochure would most likely overwhelm any potential clients. As a result, we created individual brochures for each legal service, this approach was a very effective marketing decision for Kavanagh & Co Solicitors.
Traditionally, legal brochures can be laden down with technical language. This legal jargon makes it very difficult for the everyday customer to read and understand which can lead them to either make snap decisions or worse, no decision at all. This is why it is so important to critically evaluate what information you need to include in your communication.
Kavanagh and Co Solicitors wanted to create a suite of simple and easily readable brochures that provided their customers with valuable and informative information. These brochures cover the various legal services that Kavanagh & Co Solicitors provide ranging from buying a house to assault in the healthcare industry.
As wise man George Bernard Shaw once said, “Whisky is liquid sunshine.” We couldn’t agree more, cheers.🥃 #thinkingvisual
Since 2012, Walsh Whiskey have been creating a limited edition wooden gift box for their cask strength 53% whiskey: Writers’ Tears. Every year since, we have been working with Walsh Whiskey to update and create unique packaging designs for their Irish whiskeys. Since 2013, AKGraphics have followed this original guideline to create additional packaging and marketing material. #thinkingvisual
Our job was to create packaging, labels and advertising to reflect the high quality of these brands. As per the original packaging design, gold foils, copper foils, clear foil, embossing and de-bossing finishes were used. #thinkingvisual
