Print design for web clients

Our newsletters help us to let website design clients know we’re not just a one trick pony. Print design has been a core design skill for Oast House Media since it’s creation in 2004. Director Nigel Stevenson originally came from a print design background long before scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web.

Working with our local print and print finishing partners, OHM can offer the complete ‘one stop’ media...

This particular ad featured in 2 titles, Northbourne Park School mag and The KM group Care Supplement.

We all know that Google’s image search is free and that it’s very easy to copy those images onto your local drive – but can you use those images? Yes you can! Now I know some of you may be surprised by that answer especially if I’ve sat in front of you and got all anal about copyright law, but in certain circumstances you can use images that do not belong to you. Can I point out at this stage that I am not legally qualified and only offer this information based on my own knowledge/research but what i do know is that if you’re not the originator of an...
