SAFETY TRAINING EXPERTS: Mint worked with ABC Worksafe to create their new brochure: “I have used Mint Design many times for our flyers, brochures and other promotional materials. The service is always very professional and everything from initial meeting to the final product is superb. I would highly recommend their services to any business that needs advertising materials.” Thanks, appreciate the testimonial Paul.

MAKE THREE WISHES: Plenty of cultural delights in the Here & Now pages, from Worthing Theatre's Aladdin to talks, gigs, business networking and dining. Editor Frances asks: "If you had three wishes, what else would you bring to Worthing?"

PICTURE THIS: Mint were asked to redesign the logo for the Worthing Camera Club, who were looking to update their image in order to attract more members. Job done, there was an increase in sign-up this term of both new and existing enthusiastic, local photographers. They're very pleased with the new design: "A very big THANK YOU for the new logo on behalf of the committee and the membership."

MOBILE MEDIA: Launched in January this year, Mint Design Studio now offer a Mobile Media service. We send a media strategist to the Warnes office for 3 hours a week to manage their media and marketing needs. It's more than managing website, promotional materials and social media, it's about creating ideas and effective strategy.

A WISER ROUTE: Mint designed and developed a website for Ashfold Consulting a little while ago. Our contact at Ashfold, Andy, recently returned to the studio to request a matching brochure. Taking inspiration and content from the site, we created a 6 page bi-fold brochure, in time to start handing them out at a promotional business event.

COLOURFUL LANGUAGE: Here & Now is a young magazine, and it's really finding it's own voice. Pages are more appealing and colourful than ever, content remains lively and topical. With 37,000 issues circulating around Worthing, Mint is proud to be part of the team.

WORK EXPERIENCE: Kate who heads up the team at Mint had the pleasure of her Niece Nina's company in the studio for her work experience week. A rigorous week of challenges was set, aiming to provide an all-round taste of Mint studio working life. Nina was taken through the invoicing process, website design and coding, project research and a real treat, was invited to write an article for a Here & Now magazine page. Well done Nina! It was an enjoyable and productive week.

IT'S LISTED: Looking for something to do or somewhere to go with friends or family in Worthing? Here & Now will have it listed.

WHERE TO EAT & DRINK: Helping Worthing local Kenny celebrate his Masterchef win, Here & Now ran a feature about him in their May 2018 issue. Diners in Worthing are spoilt for choice and will welcome the start of a regular food and drink section in the magazine.

GOOD BRANDING, NATURALLY: Our customer Natalie, a personal fitness trainer and well being coach asked Mint to create a new logo, to reflect her professional yet personable approach, providing a range of services to improve body and mind. Aqua was Natalie's favourite, which ties in nicely with colour theory as the colour aqua is associated with energy, wisdom, serenity, wholeness, creativity, emotional balance and joy. Perfect.

A WISER ROUTE: A new to market service, offering workplace mediation, investigation and training. Mint provided branding and full website design and development to the team at Ashfold Consulting. The owl icon ties in beautifully with the 'wise route to resolution' headline. Vibrant colours and strong images used throughout make this multi-page website appealing and eye-catching to help deliver the business message and details.

AMERICAN BLOG: Mint Design Studio, for the first time in 23 years trading, closed it's doors in August, to take a Summer break in the US of A. However, media junkies that we are, a Blog was kept during the whole month long tour - some pretty good pics and prose to record an amazing adventure. Don't worry, we kept our customers informed about holiday plans and worked hard to schedule commissions in before and after the break, so it's worked out very well. Thank you Mint customers for your understanding and support.

SPEAKING YOUR LANGUAGE: Mint have been working with Peter Noone in June (we're poets). Step 1 complete - a rebrand.

Peter specialises in jargon-free copy for websites and marketing materials, and provides financial and technical content for several journals.

STUFF THAT MATTERS: July's issue of Here & Now magazine will arrive in an outlet near you, from Ferring to Shoreham, soon. Mint are proud to be part of the team and create the page design and layout.

The Mint team are thrilled to be able to go along and join in with the festivities. There we are on the red carpet, in fact. Do we have star quality? (or shall we stick to the day job?) Yes, that is Christopher Biggins doing the Raffle.

PARTY ON: Earlier in the month, 14th June, is another fabulous party for the Residents' Society of Mayfair & St James's and we provide the same service, as detailed above, providing around 14 items to help promote the event including leaflets with booking details and website adverts.

SUPER SNACKING: We've been working with Chef Charlotte at Frog Hollow to design branding, literature and display materials, to help promote a brand new range of delicious and nutritious super snacks. We've tasted them (we have to understand the product, of course) and they are divine.

SHAPING UP: Hot off the press, our customer Centrevents, a health, social care and education event coordinator, have just received printed programmes for their delegates at this NHS Conference. Focusing on the Conference title, we created this design, which turned out a bit retro we thought.

COLOURING IN: We can't help absorbing what we see around us, and inspiration for website and brochure design often follows fashion trends. Here are the colours appearing on the catwalks, this season's Spring/Summer palette according to the fashion press. We think we see some 60s and 70s colours in the mix, given a fresh twist.

PICTURE THIS: Pleasure to work with Helen Tinner, a very talented photographer. We provided a design service for a rebrand and a variety of promotional printed items: business card, postcard and price list. Helen captures images for corporate websites, events, schools and weddings.

MADE UP: Our customer is very pleased with this simple holding page style website we created, with a stylish image for impact and some glossy business cards too. Not ready for a fully detailed website as yet, being a new launch service, this site is ready to develop further when she is. For now though, she's made up!

PIER TO PEER: Kate from the Mint team, enjoys her role as Ambassador at the Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce, and very much enjoys being part of a supportive and productive Peer Mentoring Group. Just back from another great meeting (9th March). Picture is of the Chamber's Business Show, a very successful and well attended event held last month at the Assembly Hall.

VERY ARTY: Just finished an advert design for a local gallery, Cloud Fine Art. They're in a great location, in the Royal Aracade, Worthing town centre seafront. They also have galleries in Brighton, Chichester and Horsham. They are proud to stock "some of the most collectable artwork in the UK" and are "constantly on the lookout for emerging talent". Well worth a visit we say.

HI-DE-HI from the Mint team. We like to get out and about and meet other local businesses at various networking events. This morning (Friday 24th Feb) we were at Butlins in Bognor with the JP Business Club. We had a tour too. Really impressed. Great place for corporate events from a small meeting space for four to 1,500 delegates! Looks perfect for a family break and big music weekender too... Suggest a fresh look at developments if you've not been for a while.

NEWS FLASH: Featured in the February/March edition of Business Edge, a magazine published for members of the Sussex Chamber of Commerce, is Kate Honey from the Mint team. See the women in business special on page 29.

TIP TOP: This banner was designed for Anagram, a customer Mint have been providing a design service to for a while now. We've been asked to design another. These will appear at the top of their in-house developed template site. It's okay, we know we're not needed to develop the whole site this time, but sometimes (and the customer thankfully agrees) a little bespoke design can add that finishing touch.

WEDDING BELLS: Wedding websites are becoming more popular. This couple wanted something special, bespoke, and with a picture gallery for guests to share their photos. A great touch, the site also has a countdown (where does the time go?). We designed various other coordinated items too such as keep-the-date and invitation cards. We tend do a lot of corporate work so this was a nice treat.

HERE & NOW: If you want to place an advert in Here & Now magazine (a news and community publication for Worthing readers) and don't have a professional designer to create something just so, Mint Design Studio are your recommended designers. We've enjoyed designing adverts for several local organisations so far. For February's issue we created an advert for a garden landscape designer. You'll often see our advert in there too.
