Design and design businesses in the North East region

Design is an important factor in the success of a lot of businesses. Some products succeed because they are well designed. For others, sales are influenced by the way they are packaged. Companies can expend a lot of time and effort in building up a solid corporate identity or brand image.

At Design Works, we know a lot about the small business side of design. Many of the businesses based here are design-related. We also have strong links with Project North East - a leading Enterprise Agency which has helped a lot of designers to start their own businesses.

We've used this site to draw together a number of resources relating to design.

At the top of the list is Design North East. The Design North East campaign seeks to raise the profile of designers based in the region and to help businesses exploit the benefits of good design.

You will also find Case Studies which can tell you a bit more about how businesses use design; a page of links to useful websites; and a list of Frequently Asked Questions which we are putting together.

We hope you find this site useful.
