ABOUT
Davis Graphic Design
Gary Davis has provided Distinguished Service to Commerce, Industry, Education & the Arts for 30 years. Creating Graphic Impact that exudes Quality, Thoughtfulness and Confidence, which clearly projects your product or service, through our hard work and inspiration.
DGD finds extra time when there is none and goes that extra mile when others would call a halt. Whatever it takes, in fact, to fulfil the potential of the brief.
DGD set standards for ourselves which often surpass customer demands. The goal is to produce solutions that excite us as well as you. Working hard to satisfy our own extremely demanding internal standards is the best way we know to deliver material that will work just as hard for you out in the market place. From initial contact and costing through design, production and delivery we will look after your every need.

Gary designed the content and organised the UMIST alumni magazine for me over the course of several years. His design and project management skills are excellent; he was a pleasure to work with. His calm 'can-do' approach, especially as last-minute crises hit, was greatly appreciated. He also designed other publicity material for us, including bespoke Christmas cards and Legacy informational brochures. I would definitely recommend Gary.
