Good design doesn't have to cost the earth or even the price of a small country. And it's often the smallest things that make a difference. Good design is all about communicating your message as clearly and succinctly as possible. Here at Big Smile Design we aim to make the design process as simple for you as possible.
We get asked all kinds of questions before starting a project, have a look at the list below, and feel free to ask anything that you can't see there. We studied at Leeds Poly and York Art College, then spent 9 years in London working for the Daily Mirror and several creative agencies. Came back up to York and Harrogate working in various advertising and print companies.
Big Smile Design has years of experience working in York, Harrogate and the surrounding areas and has built up a good reputation with many companies large and small. Some of our clients like to remain annonomous and the work that we've done to be completely confidential as some businesses are new enterprizes or ventures, therefore will not be shown below, but here's a few.
Testimonials and success stories from your clients are an important online marketing tool that can let potential clients see real-world evidence of the way your company does business! York maze has worked with Big Smile Design since we opened 14 years ago. They have helped our business grow over that time by creating great design and artwork, including logos, leaflets, website, posters and signs.

Returning to the creative services of Richard Kestell after he designed my original logo over 10 years ago was one of the wisest decisions so far this year. In preparation to launch a new major project, I had a concept which he delivered with care, attention to detail and skill. One of the things I really like about how he works is that he listened to my ideas, aims, goals and whole concept while taking notes before starting to make suggestions. After a few revisions and minor tweaks, I am beyond delighted with the outcome.....so thank you Rich....I am sure it won't be so long before I am contacting you again.

Richard is an absolute pleasure to work with, incredibly talented and patient! He has designed me a Facebook/YouTube banner, a logo mascot, a profile picture... and has even offered to help me print t shirts with a company he knows! All the images were self drawn and scalable to ANY size due to their image quality
If I could give 10 stars I would, definitely the man to work with if you need some graphic design or logo work done! Extremely friendly and professional

BSD took what brand and info we already had and developed it into a brilliant suite of literature for us, from individual leaflets to a Tenant Handbook and all sorts of forms. They worked very closely with us and our tenants on two monthly publications, to produce an eye catching and interesting read for our tenants and employees.

We had an idea what we wanted for our business but required a company who could come up with a new and fresh logo and that's exactly what Big Smile Design did for us. Since then they have gone on to organising all our stationery needs and I feel re-assured that I can phone any time and they will always be there for me. A big thanks to Steve.

Big Smile Design has helped Bass Gear Limited with its branding designs, commencing some five years ago; and the fact that the original imagery still looks fresh today shows a quality that simply doesn't grow on trees. With Richard you get enthusiasm, a listening ear and creative idiosyncrasies that stand out refreshingly from the crowd.

I was introduced to Big Smile Design by a professional colleague who spoke very highly of them. From the very start I was not disappointed about getting in touch. The communication and professionalism throughout has been superb. The initial designs were of high quality and lived up to what we wanted as a company as were the completed logos.
Richard was always available to us and made any changes we requested no matter how trivial.
I would highly recommend that anyone looking for branding or any designs that need a professional look to get in touch with Big Smile Design. We will be making the company our go to designer for any further work we require.
