Winking at Girls in the Dark

My previous employer, for whom I worked prior to launching Gabriel Design 12 years ago, was experienced in the fields of marketing, PR and advertising. I have kept my hand in all three areas over the past dozen years while focussing on my core skills in graphic design, print and website designing. Particularly I have worked a lot in the advertising sphere; dealing with the local press, preparing adverts for Gujarati publications and working alongside regional directories for example. However most of my work has been in the design of websites and marketing material, as well as corporate ID. Therefore it is with great pleasure that I have recently taken on the advertising business from another agency and now am able to offer a more rounded advertising service.

When I first started Gabriel Design I was asked to speak a little about graphic design and advertising at a training seminar I was attending. As part of my research, in order to add gravitas to my youthful knowledge of the field I found an amusing quote from the New York Herald Tribune (1956): Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does. With the new strings to the Gabriel Design bow I'm hoping that more winking shall be seen!

I am currently planning the advertisng campaign for a toursim business across the national press for the forthcoming year and look to add more advertising clients as my contacts in the media grow. With my core skills in graphic design I am able to provide design and artwork of adverts, advise on campaign schedules, and the booking of space across all media and publications.

If you feel that you could benefit from this, or any other Gabriel Design services please get in touch.
