Small things

Graphic design for the small things that pile up.

Social graphics, email banners, digital flyers, presentation slides, ads and brochures. Done properly and delivered production-ready by a small creative studio in Centurion, working with businesses across Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa and beyond.

How graphic design works at Thing King

Every business has a list of small design jobs that never quite get done well: the LinkedIn banner from three logos ago, the deck that someone built in a hurry, the social posts that look like everyone else’s template. The Little Thing is for exactly one of those jobs, briefed in writing and delivered in 3 to 5 business days.

When the list is longer than one item, The Design Day is better value. It is a defined block of 6 production hours, scope agreed in writing beforehand, worked through in one week. Site tweaks, social assets, marketing graphics, deck slides, email graphics: whatever fits the agreed list.

Some things need a one-off fix. Some need a King on call. If good design is a regular need, the Design Retainer gives you up to 6 hours of senior graphic design every month, from marketing and social graphics to email banners and deck slides, with priority scheduling and one active request at a time. It is a graphic design retainer, not social media management: we make the graphics, you own the posting.

Things people ask about graphic design

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask the King.

How much does graphic design cost per job?

A single, clearly defined job is The Little Thing, from R1,500, with 2 rounds of changes and production-ready files. If you have several related jobs, The Design Day at R5,000 gives you 6 hours of focused production against an agreed list.

Can you do our social media graphics every month?

Yes, as design. The Design Retainer, from R5,000 a month, covers up to 6 hours of senior graphic design each month, including social media graphics. We do not manage or post to your channels; that stays with you. For an occasional backlog, a Design Day works too.

What do we need to send you?

A short written brief, your logo files, brand colours and fonts if you have them, the copy, and the sizes or formats you need. If you do not have brand assets yet, that is what The Brand Thing is for.
