Situated amidst the charming landscapes of Staffordshire, our humble abode has garnered recognition as one of the top 100 UK creative agencies, independently ranked.

Within the walls of PHd, our design ethos revolves around simplicity and innovation. We’re not just about creating designs; we’re about crafting experiences that resonate deeply with audiences. Today, we’re thrilled to share with you the invaluable insights from our design team’s golden rules.

Rule #1: The Cuppa Break, by Peter (Managing Director)

Drawing from the well of experience, Peter shares a timeless principle passed down from a mentor named Ian. Picture this: you’ve poured your heart and soul into a design, convinced it’s nearing perfection. Peter’s advice? Pause. Take a break. Brew a cup of coffee. Why? Because fresh eyes often unveil opportunities for improvement. It’s about surpassing expectations, not merely meeting them.

Rule #2: The Art of Explanation, by Neil (Creative Director)

Neil, our resident purveyor of creativity, emphasises the importance of understanding the rationale behind every design choice. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about storytelling. By delving deep into the reasoning behind design decisions, we foster collaboration and ensure alignment with our clients’ vision.

Rule #3: The Book Worthy Design, by Max (Designer)

Max dreams of leaving a mark on the design landscape, an aspiration shared by many at PHd. His rule is simple yet profound: aim for excellence in every design, aspiring for recognition in esteemed publications like LogoLounge. It’s about striving for greatness, pushing boundaries, and leaving a legacy that inspires.

Rule #4: The Tone Whisperer, by Hazel (Artworker)

Hazel, with her keen sense of tone, reminds us of the importance of capturing the essence of a brand through design. Whether it’s playful or professional, whimsical or sophisticated, understanding the tone of voice is paramount. It’s about conveying the brand’s personality authentically, resonating with its audience on a deeper level.

In essence, these golden rules form the foundation of our design philosophy at PHd. We believe that great design transcends aesthetics; it’s about storytelling, collaboration, and authenticity. So, whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious novice, we invite you to join us on this journey of exploration and creativity.
