Graphic Design Malta

Graphic Design Malta is a creative studio working from Gżira, the waterfront locality between Sliema and Valletta. It is an online studio, which means clients can brief it from anywhere, and it produces both printed and digital material designed to build brands and grow business. It is one of several practices among the graphic designers in Malta that suit small businesses wanting professional work without a large agency.

The studio's own figures put it at eleven years of experience and around 130 clients, with a particular focus on brand identities, logos, business cards, stationery, brochures, packaging, posters, flyers, advertising and website design.

Branding and identity

Branding is the starting point for most of the studio's work. It offers brand naming, brand design and brand strategy, aiming for an authentic identity that helps a business make a stronger impression. In practice that means logo concepts, business cards and stationery, and a consistent look that carries through to menus, signs and advertising, so a new venue looks established from its first day of trading.

Alongside the creative work, the studio presents skill levels for creativity, branding, graphic design, web design and a smaller amount of video and motion graphics, and it counts well over a thousand services provided. The portfolio includes logos and logo concepts for a bar and barbecue restaurant, a cafe and bistro, a wine cafe, a travel and tours company, an outdoor gear brand, a holding company and several smaller businesses. A cafe identity, for instance, runs from stationery and menu cards to a window sign and a hanging sign. If you are setting up a business on the island, our featured partner CLA Malta can advise on company formation, and the Malta relocation guide covers the move.

Print, packaging and advertising

The studio is at its busiest with print. Its portfolio shows brochures for a luxury homeware and gift retailer, a travel and tours company and a harbour ferry service, plus advertising flyers and magazine adverts for restaurants in Valletta and Sliema. Many of these pages combine food photography, maps and discount offers, so the design has to be clear enough to work in a crowded visitor magazine, and printed QR codes link readers straight to the venue.

Packaging is covered too, with a wine label and a bottle label for a nutritional supplement among the examples. Anyone exploring things to do in Malta will recognise the style of leaflet and voucher that fills visitor information racks, and the studio has designed several of them. The restaurants it has worked for sit in the capital, so our Valletta travel guide is a good companion, and visitors staying in the capital can browse hotels in Valletta.

Web design

Web design is the third service line, alongside branding and graphic design. The studio builds responsive sites that work on mobile and tablet as well as desktop, with the aim of being user-friendly, engaging and minimal. Its portfolio includes a full website for a harbour-side restaurant, reflecting the way the studio ties print and online work together.

Because the studio is online, it suits remote workers and small start-ups. People setting up as freelancers or running a business from the island may find our digital nomad guide and Malta tax guide for UK nationals useful alongside a design project.
