Skill Set of Gateway
As one of the leading graphic design companies in Asia, Gateway Design Studio has established an enviable reputation for corporate print design, web design and corporate identity brand building.
Since opening shop in 1991 we have combined the best pre-DTP skills, typographic expertise as well as unparalleled expertise in web design and multimedia. Unlike many of the newer web design companies our focus is always on understanding the communications process, rather than a quick technology fix.
During our workflow, every client works directly with a designer which cuts out confusion and establishes a better working relationship; we know that service and attention to detail are as important as design skills. Whether it's a full blown corporate identity, or a simple graphic mailer our design expertise ensures an effective solution.
If you can’t dedicate yourself full time to the design of your brochure or website, don’t worry. We make the process as easy as possible and keep to deadlines and delivery dates.
We like to think that there aren’t many other graphic design companies that can compete with our mix of creativity, service and our passion for excellence.
