Are your company's visuals failing to reflect your Brand's true potential?

Badly drawn, Clip Art, Outdated, or Mismatched visuals can seriously damage your brand’s identity and perception. When your designs don’t reflect your brand’s core vision, it can confuse your audience and create a disconnect. This misalignment weakens your brand’s credibility and risks alienating potential customers, leading to a loss of trust and interest. Over time, this can result in decreased brand loyalty and a reduction in your competitive edge.

PETE HARRISON

Thanks so much for taking a look at my website & portfolio.
I founded Lightspeed Design back in August 2001, and it’s been an incredible journey ever since. In the early days, I was really just a ‘two-trick pony’ – I focused on Illustration and Retouching. But over the years, I’ve been able to expand my skillset quite a bit. These days, I offer a wide range of services including Graphic Design,  Digital Illustration, Photo Retouching, 3D Rendering, Website Creation, and now AI Generated Images,.

With over 40 years of experience in advertising, marketing, and publishing, I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some truly renowned global brands such as Coca Cola, American Express, BBC, Disney, VW, and BMW – just to name a few. And when I need a little extra help, I have a fantastic network of highly skilled freelancers who can lend a hand with things like Copywriting, Photography, Animation, SEO, and Brand Identity.

I’ve also been fortunate enough to receive a few prestigious awards over the years, including Loerie Craft awards and the esteemed Black Eagle Award. But at the end of the day, my real commitment is to crafting high-quality graphics that perfectly capture your vision, while also fitting your budget and timeline.

QUESTIONS I GET A LOT

You've worked for some huge international brands! Do I need to sell a kidney to afford you?

No kidney sales required! I keep my rates consistent across all clients, big or small. If you’re an NGO or charity, I’m even more flexible, offering half my usual fee. Great design should be accessible to all, especially for a good cause. Need proof? Have a look at the SPCA websitewww.grspca.org or the Daniel Ullrich Foundationdukksfoundation.org

Can you explain your work process on a project?

No problem. There is full transparency every step of the way, from your initial brief, then to the quotation to the final artwork, I keep you up to speed on progress and timing. It might be easier to show you visually what I mean.
Have a look at this page on my site: My Work Process

What about A.I? I don't really need you do I?

Ai is amazing. But only it the right hands. It can create incredible images, I use it myself but there’s a million things it can’t do yet, way too many to mention. However, to create a.i successfully, having an artistic background and training is crucial because it provides a deep understanding of composition, color theory, and visual storytelling. This expertise allows for more intentional and visually appealing imagery. You can view my a.i work here : My Portfolio

WEBSITE QUOTATION FORM

Websites are notoriously difficult to quote 100% correctly. The best option I have found is to ask the 10 questions below which gives me a much clearer picture of what you need. It also makes you, the client, stop & think about exactly what you need.
There will obviously be more questions from me and from you after this initial process is complete but I always find the planning stage just as important as the design stage.

1. What's your primary goal for the site? What do you want most from it?
2. Do you have a website already?
7. What features do you want your website to have?
8. If you are looking for an Ecommerce website (Shop), approx how many products are you selling?
9. What will you supply me in terms of content for the website?
10. Extras (Please tick which ones you need)
