About

Richard Chapman Studio is a team based consultancy offering high quality branding, web design and art direction

Let's work together

We’ve been working on design projects for our clients for twenty years and thrive on a challenge. That’s whether you’re a startup or small business needing creative inspiration to get going, or a larger company ready to realise its full potential.

Our services

Better branding

Starting up or beginning again?

We love both challenges. Brief us on what you’re after and we can show you a set of imaginative ideas you might have been expecting — and plenty you weren’t.

Custom web design

Let’s forget the jargon

We believe in putting the user at the centre of the web experience, creating distinctive, original layouts while avoiding bells and whistles which distract rather than enhance a visit to your site.

Art direction

Not just design, content too

Chances are that if you’re commissioning a new site, you’ll want a considered approach to what goes in it. Our network of photographers, illustrators, videomakers and animation experts combine with extensive experience directing the creative process.

How we work

Approach

Every time we begin a project it’s with a different set of requirements. A whole new brief.

Rather than see a project as a standalone entity, we start by sitting down and learning how our clients speak to their peers, colleagues and audience and examining how this all unfolds.

What they do in turn defines what we do.

Process

First and foremost, we figure out what every client actually needs to best represent their organisation. A clear, rational approach, using the best tools for the job – maybe even collaborating to ensure the work captures a brand’s essence.

We start by devising a corporate identity and the way it appears at every customer touchpoint. If branding is already sorted, we can re-think the online presence starting with the structure; refining images and copy with a nifty attention to detail.

Award-winning design

We’re proud to say that we have been nominated in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 across multiple categories at the print industry’s Solutions Awards — and our design work on the Shine School Media project and lifestyle management firm Thadeus London have both been winners.

The Stationers’ Company Warrant

In 2022, we were granted the Stationers’ Company Warrant, a recognition of excellence within the communications and content industries, for our work on the centenary rebranding and website project we completed for architecture practice Mountford Pigott.
