About My services

Why not try a time-served, tried and tested designer for your next project. Guaranteeing your project is delivered on-time, first-time every-time.

Hi there... My name is Wayne Hodkinson (just Wayne to my friends), and I am a freelance graphic designer of over 12 years. I worked for a PLC in the UK for 5 years as a designer and art-worker, and then I was head-hunted by a North West agency to be their Head of Creative Design for another 5 years. Then, in 2008 I founded Slightly Curved Cube.

The range of work I produce for my clients include: logos and branding, web-design and development, advertising and marketing both for print and web, brochure and catalogue design and production.

Slightly Curved Cube - Graphic Design
-----------------------------------------------------

Off the beaten track and around a slight curve you\'ll find us - close enough for what you\'re looking for, but far, far away from cookie-cutter creative.

We provide a full-range of traditional and new media presentation solutions across all marketing platforms, from a different, fresh perspective. At Slightly Curved Cube, we see things differently on both the creative and business sides of a job. We can offer the same level of quality and service - but at a fraction of the cost of other agencies based in the UK. We represent your business through a regimented process of content development, design and polish. In any medium - in both visual and voice we articulate a presence that commands professional respect while punching through and taking hold.

Also, because we don\'t want clients paying additional fees on top of actual cost, we tend not to sub-contract or outsource work, because we believe agencies that attempt to service their own clients as well as clients proffered by another agencies, will always compromise quality somewhere. We don\'t split our loyalties. We only service businesses directly, and - we only offer one service level: premium.

Whether it\'s through a billboard or a website, we connect you to the people you need to be known by, and convey who you are in a way that compels them to act. The way we see it, good marketing is about something much more important than looking smart, or looking pretty...

It\'s about making the phone ring!
