We help businesses discover and implement what they need in order to effectively market and thrive in today’s ultra-competitive business environment.

We develop real solutions which impact and motivate targeted audiences to take notice — and action. From visual concepts in graphic design and illustration to world class artwork production, website creation and hosting and contract publishing, Windmill is the design agency that gets you results.

We truly believe that our company is only as good as the relationships we can nurture from our customers. Our goal is to provide services with peace of mind, allowing clients to focus on operating their companies knowing all the details are well under control.

Windmill Graphic Design’s client base ranges from blue chip companies with existing brands, to small start-ups needing an identity and just beginning to find their way forward. Some need a complete marketing plan, from research through design, while others simply need help producing literature, both in print and electronic, by an agency they can trust with their identity and ultimately their brand.

We build our company around the needs of our clients. When our client-first concept is fused with the creative thinking of the Windmill team, the results are successful, satisfied customers.

Marketing

From corporate stationery to mass produced leaflet campaigns we can be relied upon to handle the whole process from an idea to delivering your finished job on time.

We always recommend to you that the printing companies we use are the best in their respective fields. There are a number of businesses out there that are happy with acceptable results for the cheapest prices around.

Acceptable to us is not good enough, with more than 30 years experience in design for print, Windmill thrive to supply you with the highest quality that you can be proud of.

Artwork

Artwork is the next stage in the development of your company’s look. Windmill produce high resolution artwork which is setup to printer specifications which can be hugely variable. Whether a photo-quality ultra high resolution image is required for large format printing, i.e. Building and Vehicle Wraps, or a straight forward mono vector-based artwork with fonts outlined for greater accuracy trust Windmill to deliver what you need at a price you’ll love!

We outsource some printing using only the best print companies around and can usually do the same job for a lot less by undercutting their artwork pricing.

Designs, concepts, visuals, sketches, illustration – the list goes on.

Whatever you require, or what we see you need to have produced firsthand, our design service is there to offer you the chance to see your product and refine it to suit your needs and and without having to print thousands of your product – saving you money!

Creative

Remember the days when you would try and draw something on your school jotter and then the person next to you had a work of art on theirs? We still doodle and it is great fun when you’re an artist. It is the same no matter what age you get to. When a customer asks us for an illustration we jump at the chance to create an image that leaves you speechless.

Our illustrations are focused primarily at the graphic arts side of illustrating with strong influences from comics through to industrial design and we produce most of these using Adobe Illustrator to create vector-based images that can be reproduced at almost any size. Fine art illustrations are still undertaken and these are produced to an exact brief from you describing the medium on which it is to be done.

Another favourite is our ‘Carstooned’ illustrations. Caricatures of any vehicle type are hand drawn at the customers preferred angle, then electronically scanned and redrawn with the final rendering printed onto photographic quality paper. We can print these at almost any size.

Websites

Our background in web design started with HTML based web pages, progressing to CMS (Content Management System) sites and now fully built eCommerce Shops. All built to suit your needs.

Publishing

Publishing is an art form in itself – only this art is usually needed ‘yesterday’. Windmill has, over the years, design and produced a variety of well known and well read magazines. We meet deadlines head on and make sure each publication is the best in the market.

Our involvement through contract publishing has seen award-winning publications in Newspapers, Magazines and Newsletters. We’re always upgrading our systems and software to create industry leading page layouts.

In the Summer of 2005, the East Kilbride Promoter was launched. A four page, full colour advertiser which distributed to every household. Overwhelming success of this bright, high quality advertiser quickly saw the launch of the Hamilton Promoter, followed shortly after by Motherwell and Wishaw editions.

As a marketing tool, we found that our approach was a breath of fresh air to local trade. The Promoter’s success is – in part – due to it’s clear design and artwork which we produce for every region. This makes it easier for our colleagues to sell advertising space safe in the knowledge we will deliver consistent results.

Vehicle Graphics

Specialising in custom graphics that work with individual’s vehicle shape and style, we have created bespoke wrap artwork for customers worldwide. The most famous one was the VW T5 Rust Wrap which went viral globally with millions of hits and even mentioned on numerous celebrity’s social media posts. This wrap became so popular that vinyl manufacturers printed their own fake rust effect for others to use – but this just gives a wallpaper repeated pattern effect rather than a one-off look like ours.

Other wrap creations have seen amazing results, from Sri Lanka to Canada, on unique vehicles that won’t be on any templates – it’s a lot of work but nothing is unachievable.
