Designed for you

At Cooldream we strive to create lasting relationships with our clients through strong communication and hard work.

Our passion is what has created some of our best work and helped us deliver great designs along with a personal service to our clients.

With offices in Saddleworth and the Colne Valley we are conveniently located between Leeds and Manchester.

Designed for Saddleworth

Over the years we’ve had the pleasure of working with many clients that are based in and around Saddleworth. Working with local businesses, entrepreneurs and start-up companies, we have seen the real benefits and growth that comes with having a professional design team on board. Quality design is not something that only large national and international companies need – in many ways investment in good design is even more crucial to local businesses.

Small Business Branding

If you’re just starting up a business, professional design materials can convey a sense of stability. If you’ve invested in professional design services it will reassure your clients or customers you’re serious about your business, and about the services and products that you offer. Professional design and marketing materials make your small business look larger, enabling you to build a brand that’s larger than “just you”.

DIY design

It can be tempting for small companies to do away with professional designers entirely, thinking it’s better value to do their marketing materials in-house by the IT people, or find a friend to do it on the cheap. But any short term gains that businesses think they have made will be offset against the long term damage, and loss of business that amateurish design can cause.

Graphic design professionals are not interested in making things pretty, they aim to increase market share and grow your business. They have experience and know what works. Only by working closely together can you really benefit from the results that professional design can deliver.

Saddleworth Design

Over the years we’ve had the pleasure off working with many businesses in a variety of sectors, in and around Saddleworth; included IT companies (Aspect IT), health and nutrition (Eat Right UK), educational (Focus Education), finance (The Trusted Partnership, Landmark), security (Royle Security), as well as the World Whistling Champion himself – David Morris!

Menu design – who’s choosing who?

menuWe’ve all been there. The menu spread out before us, our eyes darting feverishly backwards and forwards across the seemingly never ending selection of meals, each one sounding more mouth-watering than the last. The waiter is patiently poised, pen firmly grasped in hand, itching to start scribbling your order. You feel like the whole restaurant is watching you, willing you to pick something, ANYTHING – you can feel the anticipation, the electricity in the air! Then finally, you take one last look at the menu, look up at the waiter, and smiling politely say, “Can I have a few more minutes please?”

Why is it so difficult to choose what we want, surely it’s not THAT hard? Clearly there’s something fishy going on – some conflict between head and heart.
