For those of us old enough to remember, a hand operated Singer sewing machine was generally employed to fashion school uniforms, soft furnishings and various other items of clothing that would probably make your hair curl.
These days however the Singer sewing machine is enjoying a new and alternative lease of life in print finishing. Yes, the Singer Sewn Notebook has finally arrived.
Posters have long been recognised as an effective communication tool, so strong design and good quality poster printing can reach a wide audience quickly and efficiently.
There are many elements which make a memorable poster, from layout, text, typeface and colour to the images used. Appeal and clarity are two key considerations for poster printing and as we know, a picture paints a thousand words so it’s especially important to get your image right.
We all know how simple and effective it can be to design and print postcards to promote a company, offer or service; postcards can either be positioned within a shop or premises, or distributed by hand or post, to gain maximum exposure.
At A Local Printer we print postcards for many different business types, both large and small, and for a diverse range of seasonal and annual commercial activities, such as Valentine’s Day.

When creating a print poster, or a leaflet, brochure or flyer for your business, it’s important to get every aspect of the design right in order to draw people’s interest. But while features such as images and colour are key for print posters and other marketing materials, it’s also important not to overlook the typography used in the design. Typography combines elements of the overall branding of any piece of promotional material, be it a poster, flyer, blog post or a letter, as it evokes a certain feeling for the reader and it can engage and retain interest.
