Designing a 24-page software catalog under dual constraints of a tight timeline and a pinched budget was taken in stride and completed as promised. The client’s previous catalog had repetitive layouts and static pages of box cover after box cover. Incorporating screen captures, captions, and artwork silhouetted in Photoshop injected more interest onto each page.
As a UK based firm we were keen to establish the correct image for our company when we first embarked on selling in to the US market. Cowles Graphic Design maintained our identity with a new look more suited to the US. They were a pleasure to work with and were very accommodating to our tight timescales and to our budgets. I would not hesitate to use Cowles Graphic Design again and would wholeheartedly recommend them other companies both in the US and the UK.

Multiple audiences of engineers, aircraft designers and procurement managers all need to find value in this military aircraft testing component catalog. We photographed every piece, part, and cable in our studio and color-matched the labels and insulation for a consistent look. Spot varnish on the parts added ‘pop’ to the pages. Photos of military aircraft provide context and glamour while reminding the reader why these components are important.
