Profile

I’m a freelance graphic and information designer, working with a variety of clients in the UK and abroad.

I studied Information Design at the London College of Communication (UAL). After graduating I worked in the environmental & energy department at University of the Arts London helping to develop and brand a new sustainable design platform called Meet the Tide. I went on from this position to work as an in-house graphic designer for a major UK children’s charity (Variety, the Children’s Charity). I set up Chris Morley Design in May 2014 to give myself time to work on my own projects and interests.

Whilst at university, I developed a keen interest in sustainability and the environment and now try to include considerations in all aspects of my work. I am especially interested in paper recycling and paper making. This focus has led to some really exciting projects namely working with A.P.E Egypt as a paper maker.

Infographics and information design make up the core of my work and I hope to continue to merge my interests in all things digital with the environment and a human-centred design approach. I have a few experimental micro-sites in the works which I will track on my blog. I am working towards turning Chris Morley Design into a fully-fledged multi disciplinary design studio.

I’m currently taking on new clients so please get in touch for a quote.

How I work

Spec work

I don’t do spec work for these reasons –

The more time I put into unpaid speculative work the more I have to charge in order to make up the difference. No spec work means that I can keep my prices down.
The best design work comes from working closely with a client to ensure that the brief is fully understood by both. With speculative work, this level of understanding just isn’t possible.

Clients

I only design good things for good people.

Environment

Environmental and ethical considerations are a priority in my work, this is my favourite sector to work in. I am well informed about the latest environmental print and paper standards and can advise to suit your project.

Charging

I will always be upfront with charges and provide you with full terms, detailed quotes and work logs. If work takes longer than expected I always give notice.

Terms

I will provide detailed terms of work and payment schedules for each individual project. I like to keep things transparent and make sure that both myself and my clients are well covered in case anything goes wrong.

Ownership

As is standard practice in the design industry, I retain ownership of my work. I create the work for you and give you the license to use the finished work for a specific purpose. This is for licensing reasons on fonts and stock imagery. In rare cases, clients require absolute ownership I am happy to discuss for individual projects.

I can hand over source files (PSD’s, INDD’s etc.) for an extra cost should you so require them. Rights-transfers need to be arranged.
