About
About Chris Hall Design
Offering a fully professional Freelance Graphic Design service in Manchester, Lancashire & beyond
Back in 2012 I gave up my role as Studio Manager for a leading advertising agency to become my own boss. Since, I work directly with a mix of marketing managers, design agencies and printers across the UK, Europe & the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with the cream of Manchester’s finest creative people and design agencies on many well known brands and major accounts.
As a result, the key advantage Chris Hall Design can offer is a significant cost saving in addition to more flexible working hours to meet your deadline – but most of all delivering to the same high standards expected of any design agency that claims to be worth one’s salt!
With over 30 years of commercial graphic design experience behind me – I specialise in managing larger scale projects including brochures, catalogues, annual reports, corporate guidelines, digital publications (ePub), web design, PowerPoint presentations, packaging & rebranding.
My remote studio is fully equipped with the latest Apple M3 hardware & Adobe Creative Cloud software – ready to handle the most demanding of tasks.
Most of all, if you’re looking to outsource your next project then Chris Hall Design could just be your man! Why not get in touch today and let’s talk business. My goal is cutting costs – not corners!

Testimonials
Kirby Gifford – Account Director
" We approached Chris in December 2023 as we were struggling to find a competent designer with the digital publishing and ePub experience needed to bring a major sportswear catalogue launch to life with embedded media, interactive functionality, animated text and a number of pop-up windows with garment selectors. Chris was able to offer the skills and support to get us over the line. A huge thank you for all of your hard work – You really did pull us out of the mud! It's been a pleasure to work with Chris Hall Design and hopefully they’ll be more we can work on together again in the future! "

" Working with Chris has been both effective for our business progress and a joy. He has been able to deliver brand guides, brand assets, marketing materials, incentive and advertising pieces, award entries and so much more over the years and various companies with which he has helped me.

" I’ve worked with Chris for over a year and always found him a pleasure to work with. He works quickly and professionally to deliver clean, clear and impactful brand assets. He was particularly helpful while we were launching a new logo and needed to create a wide range of material to reintroduce ourselves to the world. I’d recommend him to any B2B brand looking to improve and elevate their look and feel. "

" I worked with Chris on producing the printed literature for SICK! Festival during 2019. I found him to be incredibly committed & highly skilled despite a difficult working brief and the end results were amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the finished product, which helped give SICK! Festival the platform to shine. Chris ensured delivery on time & for this we can’t thank him enough. I also found while working with Chris Hall Design that he is completely accomplished in the world of design. He provided critical thinking and creative feedback in the early stages to really help us shape the project – our best one yet! "

" It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Chris over the last year. Having rebranded, Chris was quickly able to understand our brand requirements and develop and evolve our guidelines as we started to create collateral. Chris is a brilliant designer, providing thought out solutions (sometimes with multiple options to choose from), and clear explanations and recommendations. I would, without hesitation, work with Chris Hall Design again. "

Neil Duerden
" Chris has an eye for detail. This can be down to the simple flow of a logo being unaligned, through to the understanding and imputation of full blown corporate guidelines across all medias. His ability to spot these mistakes has not only saved money pre-print, but has also allowed the delicate relationship between agency and clients to grow from strength to strength. His attitude towards work is always professional and he’s one of those people who is a pleasure to have in the studio. He is highly recommended for complex transport and artwork projects where his talents show through for both people management, artwork control and overseeing a project pedantically through from beginning to end effortlessly.
